Beschreibung

This volume contains the proceedings of the second workshop on Computer Aided Verification, held at DIMACS, Rutgers University, June 18-21, 1990. Itfeatures theoretical results that lead to new or more powerful verification methods. Among these are advances in the use of binary decision diagrams, dense time, reductions based upon partial order representations and proof-checking in controller verification. The motivation for holding a workshop on computer aided verification was to bring together work on effective algorithms or methodologies for formal verification - as distinguished, say,from attributes of logics or formal languages. The considerable interest generated by the first workshop, held in Grenoble, June 1989 (see LNCS 407), prompted this second meeting. The general focus of this volume is on the problem of making formal verification feasible for various models of computation. Specific emphasis is on models associated with distributed programs, protocols, and digital circuits. The general test of algorithm feasibility is to embed it into a verification tool, and exercise that tool on realistic examples: the workshop included sessionsfor the demonstration of new verification tools.

This volume is the proceedings of a workshop presenting results that lead to new or more powerful computer aided verification methods: advances in the use of binary decision diagrams, dense time, reductions based upon partial order representations, and proof-checking in controller verification.

Klappentext

This volume contains the proceedings of the second workshop
on Computer Aided Verification, held at DIMACS, Rutgers
University, June 18-21, 1990. Itfeatures theoretical
results that lead to new or more powerful verification
methods. Among these are advances in the use of binary
decision diagrams, dense time, reductions based upon partial
order representations and proof-checking in controller
verification. The motivation for holding a workshop on
computer aided verification was to bring together work on
effective algorithms or methodologies for formal
verification - as distinguished, say,from attributes of
logics or formal languages. The considerable interest
generated by the first workshop, held in Grenoble, June 1989
(see LNCS 407), prompted this second meeting. The general
focus of this volume is on the problem of making formal
verification feasible for various models of computation.
Specific emphasis is on models associated with distributed
programs, protocols, and digital circuits. The general test
of algorithm feasibility is to embed it into a verification
tool, and exercise that tool on realistic examples: the
workshop included sessionsfor the demonstration of new
verification tools.
