Abstract

We present the tool ANZU. ANZU takes a formal specification of a design and generates a functionally correct system if one exists. The specification is given as a set of linear temporal logic (LTL) formulas belonging to the class of generalized reactivity of rank 1. Such formulas cover the majority of the formulas used in practice. ANZU is an implementation of the symbolic reactive(1) approach to synthesis by Piterman, Pnueli, and Sa'ar. If the specification is realizable ANZU provides the user with a Verilog module that represents a correct finite-state system.

Efficient Verification of Sequential and Concurrent C Programs

There has been considerable progress in the domain of software verification over the last few years. This advancement has been driven, to a large extent, by the emergence of powerful yet automated abstraction techniques such as predicate abstraction. ...
On the limits of refinement-testing for model-checking CSP
Abstract
Refinement-checking, as embodied in tools like FDR, PAT and ProB, is a popular approach for model-checking refinement-closed predicates of CSP processes. We consider the limits of this approach to model-checking these kinds of predicates. By ...
Formal verification of ASMs using MDGs

We present a framework for the formal verification of abstract state machine (ASM) designs using the multiway decision graphs (MDG) tool. ASM is a state based language for describing transition systems. MDG provides symbolic representation of transition ...
