Proof Rules for Automated Compositional Verification through Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Compositional proof systems not only enable the stepwise development of concurrent processes but also provide a basis to alleviate the state explosion problem associated with model checking. An assume-guarantee style of specification and reasoning has long been advocated to achieve compositionality. However, this style of reasoning is often nontrivial, typically requiring human input to determine appropriate assumptions. In this paper, we present novel assumeguarantee rules in the setting of finite labelled transition systems with blocking communication. We show how these rules can be applied in an iterative and fully automated fashion within a framework based on learning.

Automatic Derivation of Compositional Rules in Automated Compositional Reasoning
Soundness of compositional reasoning rules depends on computational models and sometimes is rather involved. Since it is tedious to establish new rules, verifiers are forced to mould verification problems into a handful of proof rules available to them. In this paper, a syntactic approach to establishing soundness of proof rules in automated compositional reasoning is shown. Not only can our wo...
متن کاملCompositional probabilistic verification through multi-objective model checking
Compositional approaches to verification offer a powerful means to address the challenge of scalability. In this paper, we develop techniques for compositional verification of probabilistic systems based on the assume-guarantee paradigm. We target systems that exhibit both nondeterministic and stochastic behaviour, modelled as probabilistic automata, and augment these models with costs or rewar...
متن کاملA Strategy for Efficiently Verifying Requirements Specifications Using Composition and Invariants
This paper describes a compositional proof strategy for verifying properties of requirements specifications. The proof strategy, which may be applied using either a model checker or a theorem prover, uses known state invariants to prove state and transition invariants. Two proof rules are presented: a standard incremental proof rule analogous to Manna and Pnueli’s incremental proof rule and a c...
متن کاملOn learning assumptions for compositional verification of probabilistic systems
Probabilistic model checking is a powerful formal verification method that can ensure the correctness of real-life systems that exhibit stochastic behaviour. The work presented in this thesis aims to solve the scalability challenge of probabilistic model checking, by developing, for the first time, fully-automated compositional verification techniques for probabilistic systems. The contribution...
