A comprehensive introduction to the foundations of model checking, a fully automated technique for finding flaws in hardware and software; with extensive examples and both practical and theoretical exercises. Our growing dependence on increasingly complex computer and software systems necessitates the development of formalisms, techniques, and tools for assessing functional properties of these systems. One such technique that has emerged in the last twenty years is model checking, which systematically (and automatically) checks whether a model of a given system satisfies a desired property such as deadlock freedom, invariants, and request-response properties. This automated technique for ver...
This book provides an overview of the theoretical underpinnings of modern probabilistic programming and presents applications in e.g., machine learning, security, and approximate computing. Comprehensive survey chapters make the material accessible to graduate students and non-experts. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Testing is the primary hardware and software verification technique used by industry today. Usually, it is ad hoc, error prone, and very expensive. In recent years, however, many attempts have been made to develop more sophisticated formal testing methods. This coherent book provides an in-depth assessment of this emerging field, focusing on formal testing of reactive systems. This book is based on a seminar held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in January 2004. It presents 19 carefully reviewed and revised lectures given at the seminar in a well-balanced way ensuring competent complementary coverage of all relevant aspects. An appendix provides a glossary for model-based testing and basics on finite state machines and on labelled transition systems. The lectures are presented in topical sections on testing of finite state machines, testing of labelled transition systems, model-based test case generation, tools and case studies, standardized test notation and execution architectures, and beyond testing.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems, TACAS 2007, held in Braga, Portugal. Coverage includes software verification, probabilistic model checking and markov chains, automata-based model checking, security, software and hardware verification, decision procedures and theorem provers, as well as infinite-state systems.
Traditionally, models and methods for the analysis of the functional correctness of reactive systems, and those for the analysis of their performance (and - pendability) aspects, have been studied by di?erent research communities. This has resulted in the development of successful, but distinct and largely unrelated modeling and analysis techniques for both domains. In many modern systems, however, the di?erence between their functional features and their performance properties has become blurred, as relevant functionalities become inextricably linked to performance aspects, e.g. isochronous data transfer for live video tra- mission. During the last decade, this trend has motivated an increa...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2008, held in Budapest, Hungary, in March/April 2008, as part of ETAPS 2008, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The 25 revised full papers presented together with the abstract of one invited talk and two tool presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 104 submissions and address fundamental issues in the specification, analysis, and implementation of programming languages and sytems. The papers are organized in topical sections on static analysis, security, concurrency and program verification.
This book contains the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Foundations of Software Science and Computational Structures. It covers theories and methods to support analysis, synthesis, transformation and verification of software systems.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 26th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2017, which took place in Uppsala, Sweden in April 2017, held as Part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2017. The 36 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 112 submissions. They cover traditional as well as emerging topics in programming languages. In detail they deal with semantic foundation and type system for probabilistic programming; techniqu3es for verifying concurrent or higher-order programs; programming languages for arrays or web data; program analysis and verification of non-standard program properties; foundation and application of interactive theorem proving; graph rewriting; separation logic; session type; type theory; and implicit computational complexity.
