A Combination of Forward and Backward Reachability Analysis Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Induction-guided falsification (IGF) is a combination of bounded model checking (BMC) and structural induction, which can be used for falsification of invariants. IGF can also be regarded as a combination of forward and backward reachability analysis methods. This is because BMC is a forward reachability analysis method and structural induction can be regarded as a backward reachability analysis method. We report on a case study in which a variant of IGF has been used to systematically find a counterexample showing that NSPK does not enjoy the agreement property.

Combining Forward and Backward Abstract Interpretation of Horn Clauses
Alternation of forward and backward analyses is a standard technique in abstract interpretation of programs, which is in particular useful when we wish to prove unreachability of some undesired program states. The current state-ofthe-art technique for combining forward (bottom-up, in logic programming terms) and backward (top-down) abstract interpretation of Horn clauses is query-answer transfo...
متن کاملIntertwined Forward-Backward Reachability Analysis Using Interpolants
In this work we develop a novel SAT-based verification approach which is based on interpolation. The novelty of our approach is in extracting interpolants in both forward and backward manner and exploiting them for an intertwined approximated forward and backward reachability analysis. Our approach is also mostly local and avoids unrolling of the checked model as much as possible. This results ...
متن کاملComparing Forward and Backward Reachability as Tools for Safety Analysis
Using only the existence and uniqueness of trajectories for a generic dynamic system with inputs, we de ne and examine eight types of forward and backward reachability constructs. If the input is treated in a worst-case fashion, any forward or backward reach set or tube can be used for safety analysis, but if the input is treated in a best-case fashion only the backward reach tube always provid...
متن کاملImproving Reachability Analysis of Infinite State Systems by Specialization
We consider infinite state reactive systems specified by using linear constraints over the integers, and we address the problem of verifying safety properties of these systems by applying reachability analysis techniques. We propose a method based on program specialization, which improves the effectiveness of the backward and forward reachability analyses. For backward reachability our method c...
متن کاملB-W Analysis: A Backward Reachability Analysis for Diagnostic Problem Solving Suitable to Parallel Implementation
Backward reachability on Petri net models has been proposed since the beginning of the development of net theory without giving it a suitable motivation. For this reason, reachability analysis has been successively developed essentially by taking into account forward reachability. In this paper backward reachability analysis is motivated by showing its suit-ability to diagnostic problem solving...
