Ensuring properties of interaction systems

Joseph Sifakis

We propose results ensuring properties of a component-based system from properties of its interaction model and of its components. We consider here deadlock-freedom and local progress of subsystems. This is done in the framework of interaction systems, a m ...

Configurable Software Verification: Concretizing the Convergence of Model Checking and Program Analysis

Dirk Thilo Beyer, Grégory Théoduloz

In automatic software verification, we have observed a theoretical convergence of model checking and program analysis. In practice, however, model checkers are still mostly concerned with precision, e.g., the removal of spurious counterexamples; for this p ...

Path invariants

Dirk Thilo Beyer

The success of software verification depends on the ability to find a suitable abstraction of a program automatically. We propose a method for automated abstraction refinement which overcomes some limitations of current predicate discovery schemes. In curr ...

Integrating Shape Analysis into the Model Checker BLAST

Dirk Thilo Beyer, Grégory Théoduloz

Many software model checkers are based on predicate abstraction. Values of variables in branching conditions are represented abstractly using predicates. The strength of this approach is its path-sensitive nature. However, if the control flow depends heavi ...

Lazy Shape Analysis

Dirk Thilo Beyer, Grégory Théoduloz

Many software model checkers are based on predicate abstraction. If the verification goal depends on pointer structures, the approach does not work well, because it is difficult to find adequate predicate abstractions for the heap. In contrast, shape analy ...

Path Invariants

The success of software verification depends on the ability to find a suitable abstraction of a program automatically. We propose a new method for automated abstraction refinement, which overcomes the inherent limitations of predicate discovery schemes. In ...

EPICURE : A Partitioning and CoDesign Framework For Reconfigurable Computing

Sébastien Bilavarn

This paper presents a new global design methodology capable to bridge the gap between an abstract specification level and a heterogeneous reconfigurable architecture level. The Epicure contribution is the result of a joint study on abstraction/refinement m ...

Object-oriented approach for dynamic system modelling and simulation

Adel Besrour

Software engineering always cares to provide solutions for building applications as close as possible to what they should be, according to the requirements and the final users needs. Systems behavior simulation is a very common application to virtually rep ...

Composition for component-based modeling

Joseph Sifakis

We propose a framework for component-based modeling using an abstract layered model for components. A component is the superposition of two models: a behavior model and an interaction model. Interaction models describe architectural constraints induced by ...
