Networks have grown increasingly complicated. Violations of intended policies can
compromise network availability and network reliability. Network operators need to ensure …

This paper describes a new symbolic model checker, called NuSMV, developed as part of a
joint project between CMU and IRST. NuSMV is the result of the reengineering …

Despite its great importance, modern network infrastructure is remarkable for the lack of rigor
in its engineering. The Internet, which began as a research experiment, was never designed …

In recent years, formal methods have emerged as an alternative approach to ensuring the
quality and correctness of hardware designs, overcoming some of the limitations of …

Model-checking is a successful technique for automatically verifying concurrent finite-state
systems. When designing a model-checker, a good compromise must be made between the …

We demonstrate the feasibility of using the XSB tabled logic programming system as a
programmable fixed-point engine for implementing efficient local model checkers. In …

Traditional models have limitation to model adaptive software systems since they build only
for fixed requirements, and cannot model the behaviors that change at run-time in response …

Symbolic model-checking is a well-established technique used in hardware design to
assess, and formally verify, functional correctness. However, most modern model-checkers …

One of the commonly used techniques to verify software and hardware systems which have
been specified through graph transformation system (GTS), especially safety critical ones, is …
