- | Abstract: Constraints represent a key component of state- of-the-art verification tools based on compositional approaches and assumeâguarantee reasoning. In recent years, most of the research efforts on verification constraints have focused on defining formats and techniques to encode, or to synthesize, constraints starting from the specification of the design. In this paper, we analyze the impact of constraints on the performance of model checking tools, and we discuss how to effectively exploit them. We also introduce an approach to explicitly derive verification constraints hidden in the design and/or in the property under verification. Such constraints may simply come from true design constraints, embedded within the properties, or may be generated in the general effort to reduce or partition the state space. Experimental results show that, in both cases, we can reap benefits for the overall verification process in several hard-to-solve designs, where we obtain speed-ups of more than one order of magnitude. |

+ | Abstract: The composition of services and features often leads to unwanted situations, because it is a non-monotonic operation over services and features. When a new service is added to an existing system, conditions have to be checked to ensure that the resulting system satisfies a list of required properties. Following the system approach of Abrial, we develop services and features in an incremental way and use refinement to model the composition of services and features. Proof obligations state the preservation or the non-preservation of properties, namely invariant or more generally safety properties. The method helps us in understanding when a service is interfering with another, and allows us to give multiple views of each service according to the level of its refinement. Finally, we validate our method with the Atelier B tool. |

| Abstract: Divide-and-conquer is essential to address state explosion in model checking. Verifying each individual component in a system, in isolation, efficiently requires an appropriate context, which traditionally is obtained by hand. This paper presents an efficient modular model checking approach for asynchronous design verification. It is equipped with a novel abstraction refinement method that can refine a component abstraction to be accurate enough for successful verification. It is fully automated, and eliminates the need of finding an accurate context when verifying each individual component, although such a context is still highly desirable. This method is also enhanced with additional state space reduction techniques. The experiments on several nontrivial asynchronous designs show that this method efficiently removes impossible behaviors from each component including ones violating correctness requirements. |

+ Review: Verification of a whole system by verifying each components. When verifying each components individually assumptions has to be made on the environnment ot avoid false counter-examples. Use component abstraction to over-approximated the environment. This abastraction must be refined to obtain only the behavior allowed at the interface. They propose : - to identify and remove unsynchronized behavior.
- to extend the refinement to more than two components itemize
Main contribution : Local synchronization detection method for component based on parallel composition and an AR methof for modular MC.
Circuit class : Asynchronous |
