Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to 

  • Specify correctness of a system: assertions, automata, temporal logic.
  • Understand algorithms for verification of systems: model checking and abstract interpretation.
  • Use constraint solvers (satisfiability solvers) for building  model checkers

Subject of course

Modeling of hardware and software, overview of computer aided verification methods. Specification by temporal logic and automata, state explosion, explicit model checking, symbolic model checking with BDDs, bounded model checking with SAT, abstraction. Modeling and specification languages (Promela, SMV). Verification software in practice (Spin, NuSMV), overview of verification methods for specific classes of systems and current developments.

Teaching methods

The course is composed of 8 lectures and 4 exercises sessions, in which students present examples from exercise sheets.

The lectures and exercise sessions will take place online via Zoom.

Mode of examination

Written
