On the Verification by Approximation of Duration Systems
, 2003
"... Abstract: We consider the problem of verifying invariance properties for duration systems. Such systems are (extended) timed graphs with duration variables. They are especially suitable for describing real time schedulers. However, for this kind of systems, the verification problem of invariance pro ..."

The algorithmic analysis of hybrid systems
- THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE
, 1995
"... We present a general framework for the formal specification and algorithmic analysis of hybrid systems. A hybrid system consists of a discrete program with an analog environment. We model hybrid systems as nite automata equipped with variables that evolve continuously with time according to dynamica ..."

to dynamical laws. For verification purposes, we restrict ourselves to linear hybrid systems, where all variables follow piecewise-linear trajectories. We provide decidability and undecidability results for classes of linear hybrid systems, and we show that standard program-analysis techniques can be adapted
Bandera: Extracting Finite-state Models from Java Source Code
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 22ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
, 2000
"... Finite-state verification techniques, such as model checking, have shown promise as a cost-effective means for finding defects in hardware designs. To date, the application of these techniques to software has been hindered by several obstacles. Chief among these is the problem of constructing a fini ..."

Learning assumptions for compositional verification
, 2003
"... Compositional verification is a promising approach to addressing the state explosion problem associated with model checking. One compositional technique advocates proving properties of a system by checking properties of its components in an assume-guarantee style. However, the application of this t ..."
