Model Checking and Random Competition - A Study Using the Model Checking Framework MIC

Using verification techniques to prove the correctness of systems is becoming more and more important. Especially in the domain of embedded and distributed systems, verification techniques are increasingly being used for quality assurance today. Model checking is a verification technique that allows the automatic verification of systems with a finite state space. Developers create a formal specification of the system and define properties that need to be satisfied by the system description. The model checking program then uses the state transition graph of the system to prove whether the specification fulfills the properties.
