Abstract. Sledgehammer, a component of the interactive theorem prover Isabelle, finds proofs in higher-order logic by calling the automated provers for first-order logic E, SPASS a...
This paper presents an interactive proof method for the verification of temporal properties of concurrent systems based on symbolic execution. Symbolic execution is a well known a...
Abstract. Unlike people, household robots cannot rely on commonsense knowledge when accomplishing everyday tasks. We believe that this is one of the reasons why they perform poorly...
Abstract. We present a general scheme for automated instantiation-based invariant discovery. Given a transition system, the scheme produces k-inductive invariants from templates re...
Security protocols are small programs designed to ensure properties such as secrecy of messages or authentication of parties in a hostile environment. In this paper we investigate ...
