Rewriting Modulo SMT

چکیده
Combining symbolic techniques such as: (i) SMT solving, (ii) rewriting modulo theories, and (iii) model checking can enable the analysis of infinite-state systems outside the scope of each such technique. This paper proposes rewriting modulo SMT as a new technique combining the powers of (i)-(iii) and ideally suited to model and analyze infinite-state open systems; that is, systems that interact with a nondeterministic environment. Such systems exhibit both internal non-determinism due to the system, and external non-determinism due to the environment. They are not amenable to finite-state model checking analysis because they typically are infinite-state. By being reducible to standard rewriting using reflective techniques, rewriting modulo SMT can both naturally model and analyze open systems without requiring any changes to rewriting-based reachability analysis techniques for closed systems. This is illustrated by the analysis of a real-time system beyond the scope of timed automata methods.

Rewriting Modulo SMT and Open System Analysis
This paper proposes rewriting modulo SMT, a new technique that combines the power of SMT solving, rewriting modulo theories, and model checking. Rewriting modulo SMT is ideally suited to model and analyze reachability properties of infinite-state open systems, i.e., systems that interact with a nondeterministic environment. Such systems exhibit both internal nondeterminism, which is proper to t...
متن کاملAutomating Induction with an SMT Solver
Mechanical proof assistants have always had support for inductive proofs. Sometimes an alternative to proof assistants, satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) solvers bring the hope of a higher degree of automation. However, SMT solvers do not natively support induction, so inductive proofs require some encoding into the SMT solver’s input. This paper shows a surprisingly simple tactic—a rewritin...
متن کاملSMT-COMP: Satisfiability Modulo Theories Competition
Decision procedures for checking satisfiability of logical formulas are crucial for many verification applications (e.g., [2, 6, 3]). Of particular recent interest are solvers for Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT). SMT solvers decide logical satisfiability (or dually, validity) with respect to a background theory in classical first-order logic with equality. Background theories useful for ve...
متن کاملSatisfiability Modulo Constraint Handling Rules (Extended Abstract)
Satisfiability Modulo Constraint Handling Rules (SMCHR) is the integration of the Constraint Handling Rules (CHRs) solver programming language into a Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solver framework. Constraint solvers are implemented in CHR as a set of high-level rules that specify the simplification (rewriting) and constraint propagation behavior. The traditional CHR execution algorithm ...
متن کاملImproving Local Search for Bit-Vector Logics in SMT with Path Propagation
Bit-blasting is the main approach for solving word-level constraints in SAT Modulo Theories (SMT) for bit-vector logics. However, in practice it often reaches its limits, even if combined with sophisticated rewriting and simplification techniques. In this paper, we extended a recently proposed alternative based on stochastic local search (SLS) and improve neighbor selection based on down propag...
