A Comparative Analysis of two Verification Techniques for DEDS: Model Checking versus Model-based Testing

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Iterative Verification Techniques for CTL Model Checking

A paradigm for automatic approximation/refinement in conservative CTL model checking is presented. The approximations are used to verify a given formula conservatively by computing upper and/or lower bounds to the set of satisfying states at each subformula. These approximations attempt to perform conservative verification with the least possible number of BDD variables and BDD nodes. We presen...

Testing and Model-Checking Techniques for Diagnosis

Black-box testing is a popular technique for assessing the quality of a system. However, in case of a test failure, only little information is available to identify the root-cause of the test failure. In such cases, additional diagnostic tests may help. We present techniques and a methodology for efficiently conducting diagnostic tests based on explicit fault models. For this, we rely on Model-...
