Abstract Model checking is an automatic technique for verifying finite-state reactive systems,
such as sequential circuit designs and communication protocols. Specifications are …

Temporal logic comes in two varieties: linear-time temporal logic assumes implicit universal
quantification over all paths that are generated by the execution of a system; branching-time …

Recently, contract-based design has been proposed as an “orthogonal” approach that
complements system design methodologies proposed so far to cope with the complexity of …

This tutorial presents an overview of model checking for both discrete and continuous-time
Markov chains (DTMCs and CTMCs). Model checking algorithms are given for verifying …
