Solving parity games via priority promotion by Benerecetti, M, Dell Erba, D, Mogavero, F

“…Parity games also have great practical interest, as they arise in many fields of theoretical computer science, most notably logic, automata theory, and formal verification. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for the solution of the problem, based on the idea of promoting vertices to higher priorities during the search for winning regions. …”

Scaling the convex barrier with active sets by De Palma, A, Behl, HS, Bunel, R, Torr, P, Kumar, MP

“…We demonstrate that this results in significant formal verification speed-ups.…”

StocHy: automated verification and synthesis of stochastic processes by Cauchi, N, Degiorgio, K, Abate, A

Model Checking Synchronized Products of Infinite Transition Systems by Stefan Wöhrle, Wolfgang Thomas

“…Formal verification using the model checking paradigm has to deal with two aspects: The system models are structured, often as products of components, and the specification logic has to be expressive enough to allow the formalization of reachability properties. …”

Towards Topology-Free Programming for Cyber-Physical Systems with Process-Oriented Paradigm by Vladimir E. Zyubin, Natalia O. Garanina, Igor S. Anureev, Sergey M. Staroletov

“…The proposed approach was characterized, on the one hand, by a topologically independent specification of the control algorithm and, on the other hand, by the possibility of using existing formal verification methods by preserving the semantics of a centralized process-oriented program. …”

Automated Mapping of UML Activity Diagrams to Formal Specifications for Supporting Containment Checking by Faiz UL Muram, Huy Tran, Uwe Zdun

“…Based on existing formal verification techniques, we propose containment checking as a means to assess whether the system's behaviors described by the low-level models satisfy what has been specified in the high-level counterparts. …”

On the Power of Uncertainties in Microbial System Modeling: No Need To Hide Them Anymore by Benoit Delahaye, Damien Eveillard, Nicholas Bouskill

“…Taking into account uncertainties within microbial models calls for new validation techniques. Formal verification already overcomes this shortcoming by proposing modeling frameworks and validation techniques dedicated to probabilistic models. …”

An Abstraction-Refinement Methodologyfor Reasoning about Network Games† by Guy Avni, Shibashis Guha, Orna Kupferman

“…The networks modeled by NGs may be huge. In formal verification, abstraction has proven to be an extremely effective technique for reasoning about systems with big and even infinite state spaces. …”

ADEFGuard: Anomaly detection framework based on Ethereum smart contracts behaviours by Malaw Ndiaye, Thierno Ahmadou Diallo, Karim Konate

“…Smart contracts have become lucrative and profitable targets for attackers because they can hold a large amount of money. Formal verification and symbolic analysis have been employed to combat these destructive scams by analysing the codes and function calls, yet each scam's vulnerability should be discreetly predefined. …”

Linear-time Temporal Logic with Event Freezing Functions by Stefano Tonetta

“…Formal properties represent a cornerstone of the system-correctness proofs based on formal verification techniques such as model checking. Formalizing requirements into temporal properties may be very complex and error prone, due not only to the ambiguity of the textual requirements but also to the complexity of the formal language. …”

Parallel Prefix Polymorphism Permits Parallelization, Presentation & Proof by Chen, Jiahao, Edelman, Alan

“…Here, we show that polymorphism has broad applicability far beyond computations for technical computing: parallelism in distributed computing, presentation of visualizations of runtime data flow, and proofs for formal verification of correctness. The ability to reuse a single codebase for all these purposes provides new ways to understand and verify parallel programs.…”
