understand traditional model checking algorithms (LTL and CTL model checking) and current approaches (bounded model checking, k-induction, CEGAR, property-driven reachability);
be able to read and write specifications in LTL and CTL;
be aware of potential applications and inherent limitations of model checking algorithms.
Syllabus
  • Overview of the model checking area.
  • Kripke structure, labelled transition system, LTL, CTL, Büchi automata.
  • Automata-based LTL model checking.
  • CTL model checking.
  • Bounded model checking and k-induction.
  • Reachability in pushdown systems.
  • Abstraction and CEGAR.
  • Property directed reachability.

With the help of a tutor students will get acquainted with a number of concrete software verification tools for analysis of concurrent systems, real-time systems, hybrid systems, cryptographic systems and systems with probabilities.
Syllabus
  • This course will provide the necessary theoretic background as well as hands-on experience with relevant tools for bug finding and formal verification techniques. An introductory insight into security standards like Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation and FIPS 140 shall be provided first, together with a discussion of security threat models. Following this, the core topics of this course will include testing, simulations, advance testing and symbolic execution, abstract interpretation, static analysis, theorem proving, automated formal verification as well as an introduction to model-based verification. With the help of a tutor students will get acquainted with a number of concrete software verification tools for analysis of concurrent systems, real-time systems, hybrid systems, cryptographic systems and systems with probabilities.
