Introduction of Virtualization Technology to Multi-Process Model Checking

Model checkers find failures in software by exploring every possible execution schedule. Java PathFinder (JPF), a Java model checker, has been extended recently to cover networked applications by caching data transferred in a communication channel. A target process is executed by JPF, whereas its peer process runs on a regular virtual machine outside. However, non-deterministic target programs ...

Application of Model-Checking Technology to Controller Synthesis

In this paper we present two frameworks that have been implemented to link traditional model-checking techniques to the domain of control. The techniques are based on solving a timed game and using the resulting solution (a strategy) as a controller. The obtained discrete controller must fit within its continuous environment, which is modelled and taken care of in our frameworks. Our first tech...

Checking & Distributing Statistical Model Checking

In this paper we propose a general framework for distributed statistical model checking of networks of priced timed automata. The first contribution is a new algorithm to distribute sequential hypothesis testing without introducing bias in the results. The second contribution is an implementation of this algorithm in Uppaal. The major contribution is an experimental and analytical evaluation of...

Model Checking

We would like to thank Professor Loh and Professor Gelman for their thoughtful comments. Some of the detailed points that the discussants bring up remind us to emphasize that in many regards our article offers only an overview of the scientific questions we aim to address and of the methods, models, and algorithms that we employ. Some technical details are omitted in the interest of readability...
