In order to apply formal methods in practice, the practitioner has to comprehend a vast
amount of research literature and realistically evaluate practical merits of different …

A method of extracting a feature from a point cloud comprises receiving a three-dimensional
(3-D) point cloud representing objects in a scene, the 3-D point cloud containing a plurality …

Software Product Line (SPL) engineering is a software engineering paradigm that exploits
the commonality between similar software products to reduce life cycle costs and time-to …

We present a new distributed-memory algorithm for enumerative LTL model-checking that is
designed to be run on a cluster of workstations communicating via MPI. The detection of …

The central keywords of this thesis are “verification” and “distribution”. Verification refers to
the process of finding, by formal means, design errors in complex hardware and software …

We explore the use of distributed processing to enhance the performance of explicit state
enumeration based safety model-checking. State enumeration based model-checkers …

We propose a practical parallel on-the-fly algorithm for enumerative LTL (linear temporal
logic) model checking. The algorithm is designed for a cluster of workstations …

The main advantages of Tarjan's strongly connected component (SCC) algorithm are its
linear time complexity and ability to return SCCs on-the-fly, while traversing or even …

The fair cycle detection problem is at the heart of both LTL and fair CTL model checking.
This paper presents a new distributed scalable algorithm for explicit fair cycle detection. Our …

Recent development in computer hardware has brought more wide-spread emergence of
shared-memory, multi-core systems. These architectures offer opportunities to speed up …
