This course introduces the basic concepts of functional verification and model checking, highlighting their importance in modern system designs. It explains different modeling formalisms for ...

The field of model checking has evolved into a fundamental technique for verifying the correctness of software and hardware systems. At its core, model checking systematically explores the state space ...

As conventional simulation-based testing has increasingly struggled to cope with design complexity, strategies centered around formal verification have quietly evolved In this article, I review the ...

Three professors who pioneered an important method for improving software and hardware reliability have won this year’s A.M. Turing Award. The professors — Edmund Clarke of Carnegie Mellon University, ...
