Mechatronics is an engineering discipline integrating the fields of mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering and computer science. While the word" mechatronics" already has a …

PKind is a novel parallel k-induction-based model checker of invariant properties for finite-or
infinite-state Lustre programs. Its architecture, which is strictly message-based, is designed …

This paper investigates approaches to parallelizing Bounded Model Checking (BMC) for
shared memory environments as well as for clusters of workstations. We present a generic …

This thesis is concerned with the quantitative assessment of security in software. More
specifically, it tackles the problem of efficient computation of channel capacity, the maximum …

This paper presents a new way to improve the performance of the SAT-based bounded
model checking problem on sequential and parallel procedures by exploiting relevant …

We introduce a methodology, based on symbolic execution, for Concurrent Bounded Model
Checking. In our approach, we translate a program into a formula in a disjunctive form. This …

Automated and reliable software verification is of crucial importance for development of high-
quality software. Formal methods can be used for finding different kinds of bugs without …

Bounded model checking (BMC) is an incremental refutation technique to search for
counterexamples of increasing length. The existence of a counterexample of a fixed length …

Solvers for propositional logic formulas, so called SAT solvers, are used in many practical
applications. As multi-core and multi-processor hardware has become widely available …

In the analysis of hybrid discrete-continuous systems, rich arithmetic constraint formulae with
complex Boolean structure arise naturally. The iSAT algorithm, a solver for such formulae, is …
