The tool described here is the first part of a tool set called GROOVE (GRaph-based Object-
Oriented VErification) for software model checking of object-oriented systems. The special …

Abstract Design space exploration (DSE) aims at searching through various models
representing different design candidates to support activities like configuration design of …

The next generation of networked mechatronic systems will be characterized by complex
coordination and structural adaptation at run-time. Crucial safety properties have to be …

Graph transformation has recently become more and more popular as a general, rule-based
visual specification paradigm to formally capture (a) requirements or behavior of user …

Abstract Model checking is increasingly popular for hardware and, more recently, software
verification. In this paper we describe two different approaches to extend the benefits of …

We propose a technique for the analysis of infinite-state graph transformation systems,
based on the construction of finite structures approximating their behaviour. Following a …

In proof theory, a standard method for showing the correctness of a program wrt given pre-
and postconditions is to construct a weakest precondition and to show that the precondition …

We propose a framework where behavioural properties of finite-state systems modelled as
graph transformation systems can be expressed and verified. The technique is based on the …

Application development naturally starts with functional requirements given by the business
that shall be supported. The model capturing these requirements is then refined taking more …

In this paper we present the philosophy behind the GROOVE project, in which graph
transformation is used as a modelling formalism on top of which a model checking approach …
