چکیده

Hierarchical State Machines (HSMs) are a natural model for representing the behavior of software systems. In this paper, we investigate a variety of model-checking problems for an extension of HSMs in which state machines are allowed to call each other recursively.

A Hybrid Meta-heuristic Approach to Cope with State Space Explosion in Model Checking Technique for Deadlock Freeness

Model checking is an automatic technique for software verification through which all reachable states are generated from an initial state to finding errors and desirable patterns. In the model checking approach, the behavior and structure of system should be modeled. Graph transformation system is a graphical formal modeling language to specify and model the system. However, modeling of large s...

Reachability checking in complex and concurrent software systems using intelligent search methods

Software system verification is an efficient technique for ensuring the correctness of a software product, especially in safety-critical systems in which a small bug may have disastrous consequences. The goal of software verification is to ensure that the product fulfills the requirements. Studies show that the cost of finding and fixing errors in design time is less than finding and fixing the...

Model Checking of Statechart Models: Survey and Research Directions

We survey existing approaches to the formal verification of statecharts using model checking. Although the semantics and subset of statecharts used in each approach varies considerably, along with the model checkers and their specification languages, most approaches rely on translating the hierarchical structure into the flat representation of the input language of the model checker. This makes...

Hierarchical and Recursive State Machines with Context-Dependent Properties

Hierarchical and recursive state machines are suitable abstract models for many software systems. In this paper we extend a model recently introduced in literature, by allowing atomic propositions to label all the kinds of vertices and not only basic nodes. We call the obtained models context-dependent hierarchical/recursive state machines. We study on such models cycle detection, reachability ...
