Temporal logic model checking involves checking the state-space of a model of a system to
determine whether errors can occur in the system. Often this involves checking …

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 …

This paper presents the first critical analysis of building highly secure, performant, and
confidential Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus by integrating off-the-shelf crash fault …

Motivation Scientists increasingly rely on intelligent information systems to help them in their
