This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Computer Aided Verification, CAV'99, held in Trento, Italy in July 1999 as part of FLoC'99.
The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 107 submissions. Also included are six invited contributions and five tool presentations. The book is organized in topical sections on processor verification, protocol verification and testing, infinite state spaces, theory of verification, linear temporal logic, modeling of systems, symbolic model checking, theorem proving, automata-theoretic methods, and abstraction.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Symposium on Automated Technology for Verification and Analysis, ATVA 2016, held in Chiba, Japan, in October 2016. The 31 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 82 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: keynote; Markov models, chains, and decision processes; counter systems, automata; parallelism, concurrency; complexity, decidability; synthesis, refinement; optimization, heuristics, partial-order reductions; solving procedures, model checking; and program analysis.

An expanded and updated edition of a comprehensive presentation of the theory and practice of model checking, a technology that automates the analysis of complex systems. Model checking is a verification technology that provides an algorithmic means of determining whether an abstract model-representing, for example, a hardware or software design-satisfies a formal specification expressed as a temporal logic formula. If the specification is not satisfied, the method identifies a counterexample execution that shows the source of the problem. Today, many major hardware and software companies use model checking in practice, for verification of VLSI circuits, communication protocols, software device drivers, real-time embedded systems, and security algorithms. This book offers a comprehensive presentation of the theory and practice of model checking, covering the foundations of the key algorithms in depth. The field of model checking has grown dramatically since the publication of the first edition in 1999, and this second edition reflects the advances in the field. Reorganized, expanded, and updated, the new edition retains the focus on the foundations of temporal logic model while offering new chapters that cover topics that did not exist in 1999: propositional satisfiability, SAT-based model checking, counterexample-guided abstraction refinement, and software model checking. The book serves as an introduction to the field suitable for classroom use and as an essential guide for researchers.
