Predicate Abstraction
Designing basic protocols, used in networking, security and multiprocessor systems is hard. All of these have to deal with concurrency, that is the actions of multiple agents in parallel. This makes their design error-prone since all possible interactions between the various agents in the system have to be considered. In addition to concurrency, many of these protocols are designed to work with...
متن کاملExperimenting with Predicate Abstraction
Predicate abstraction is a technique employed in software model checking to produce abstract models that can be conservatively checked for property violations in reasonable time. The precision degree of different abstractions of the same program may differ based on (i) the set of predicates used; or (ii) the algorithmic technique employed to generate the model. In this paper we explain how we h...
متن کاملProbabilistic Termination Versus Fair Termination
In this paper we show that probabilistic termination of concurrent program is in many cases much simpler than the "f~" one. For a wide class of definitions of probabilistic termination we may express termination by rrf arithmetic formula, whereas the "fair" termination can be expressed only by rrf secqnd order arithmetic formula. Proof of "fair" termination usually needs induction on recursive ...
متن کاملExperience with Predicate Abstraction
This reports some experiences with a recently-implemented prototype system for veriication using predicate abstraction, based on the method of Graf and Sa di 9]. Systems are described using a language of iterated guarded commands, called Mur ?? (since it is a simpliied version of our Mur protocol description language). The system makes use of two libraries: SVC 1] (an eecient decision procedure...
متن کاملRanking Abstraction as Companion to Predicate Abstraction
Predicate abstraction has become one of the most successful methodologies for proving safety properties of programs. Recently, several abstraction methodologies have been proposed for proving liveness properties. This paper studies “ranking abstraction” where a program is augmented by a non-constraining progress monitor, and further abstracted by predicate-abstraction, to allow for automatic ve...
