Book Description
This thesis presents a completely automatic verification framework to check safety properties of parameterized systems. A parameterized system is a family of finite state systems where every system consists of a finite number of processes running in parallel the same algorithm. All the systems in the family differ only in the number of the processes and, in general, the number of systems in a family may be unbounded. Examples of parameterized systems are communication protocols, mutual exclusion protocols, cache coherence protocols, distributed algorithms etc. Model-checking of finite state systems is a well-developed formal verification approach of proving properties of systems in an automatic way. However, it cannot be applied directly to parameterized systems because the unbounded number of systems in a family means an infinite state space. In this thesis we propose to abstract an original family of systems consisting of an unbounded number of processes into one consisting of a fixed number of processes. An abstracted system is considered to consist of k+1 components—k reference processes and their environment. The transition relation for the abstracted system is an over-approximation of the transition relation for the original system, therefore, a set of reachable states of the abstracted system is an over-approximation of the set of reachable states of the original one. A safety property is considered to be parameterized by a fixed number of processes whose relationship is in the center of attention in the property. Such processes serve as reference processes in the abstraction. We propose an encoding which allows to perform reachability analysis for an abstraction parameterized by the reference processes. We have successfully verified three classic parameterized systems with replicated processes by applying this method.

Handbook of Model Checking
Author: Edmund M. Clarke
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319105752
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 1210
Book Description
Model checking is a computer-assisted method for the analysis of dynamical systems that can be modeled by state-transition systems. Drawing from research traditions in mathematical logic, programming languages, hardware design, and theoretical computer science, model checking is now widely used for the verification of hardware and software in industry. The editors and authors of this handbook are among the world's leading researchers in this domain, and the 32 contributed chapters present a thorough view of the origin, theory, and application of model checking. In particular, the editors classify the advances in this domain and the chapters of the handbook in terms of two recurrent themes that have driven much of the research agenda: the algorithmic challenge, that is, designing model-checking algorithms that scale to real-life problems; and the modeling challenge, that is, extending the formalism beyond Kripke structures and temporal logic. The book will be valuable for researchers and graduate students engaged with the development of formal methods and verification tools.

Book Description
This volume contains the proceedings of the conference on Computer Aided V- i?cation (CAV 2002), held in Copenhagen, Denmark on July 27-31, 2002. CAV 2002 was the 14th in a series of conferences dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practice of computer-assisted formal analysis methods for software and hardware systems. The conference covers the spectrum from theoretical - sults to concrete applications, with an emphasis on practical veri?cation tools, including algorithms and techniques needed for their implementation. The c- ference has traditionally drawn contributions from researchers as well as prac- tioners in both academia and industry. This year we received 94 regular paper submissions out of which 35 were selected. Each submission received an average of 4 referee reviews. In addition, the CAV program contained 11 tool presentations selected from 16 submissions. For each tool presentation, a demo was given at the conference. The large number of tool submissions and presentations testi?es to the liveliness of the ?eld and its applied ?avor.
