Riassunto

Model checking is a branch of software and hardware veri?cation that involves developingalgorithmsfortheautomaticveri?cationofsystems.Originatingfrom mathematical logic, model checking stands for the process of determining whether or not a formula of some logic is satis?ed by a model for the logic. Initiated two and a half decades ago, with papers that have gained their authors the 2007 Turing award, this active research area has resulted in rich theory, and the developmentof a number ofwidely used model-checkingtools.Theseinclude Carnegie-Mellon s SMV, Cadence-SMV, and Bell Laboratories SPIN. Some of the main activities in model checking involve development of expressive spec- cation formalisms, in particular, temporal logics, the modeling of systems, and ?nding e?cient algorithms for automatically checking that a model of a system satis?es its temporal speci?cation. The success of model checking in the computer-aided veri?cation com- nity has led to a growth of interest in the use of model checking in AI. One common interest between these two ?elds is veri?cation of autonomous s- tems. Logics for autonomous systems can express properties that are not c- monly used for reactive systems, expressing properties related to the knowledge and belief of components (agents) of the system about other components. New model-checkingalgorithms,for suchspeci?cation properties,are challengingand useful for various applications, including online auction mechanisms, which are embedded in various Internet services, and autonomous robots.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 5th Workshop on Model Checking and Artificial Intelligence, MOCHART 2008, held in Patras, Greece, in July 2008 as a satellite event of ECAI 2008, the 18th biannual European conference on Artificial Intelligence.

The 9 revised full workshop papers presented together with 2 invited lectures have gone through two rounds of reviewing and improvement and were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The workshop covers all ideas, research, experiments and tools that relate to both MC and AI fields.
