UPPAAL/DMC – Abstraction-Based Heuristics for Directed Model Checking (2009)

Sebastian Kupferschmid, Jörg Hoffmann, Bernd Finkbeiner, Henning Dierks, Andreas Podelski, Gerd Behrmann

Abstract. UPPAAL/DMC is an extension of UPPAAL which provides generic heuristics for directed model checking. In this approach, the traversal of the state space is guided by a heuristic function...

Abstraction Refinement for Games with Incomplete Information (2008)

Dimitrova, Rayna, Finkbeiner, Bernd

Counterexample-guided abstraction refinement (CEGAR) is used in automated software analysis to find suitable finite-state abstractions of infinite-state systems. In this paper, we extend CEGAR to...

RV'01 Preliminary Version Checking Finite Traces using Alternating Automata (2007)

Bernd Finkbeiner, Henny Sipma

We present three algorithms to check at runtime whether a reactive program satises a temporal specication, expressed by a future linear-time temporal logic formula. The three methods are all based on...

Reviewers (2007)

Prof Dr, Bernd Finkbeiner, Dipl Inf, Klaus Dräger, Prof Dr, Bernd Finkbeiner, ...

This thesis presents an extension of deductive model checking that uses phase event automata to verify, if a given reactive system satisfies a specification, typically a temporal logic formula. Both...
