Language containment is a method for design verification that involves checking if the behavior of the system to be verified is a subset of the behavior of the specifications (pro...
Abstract. Researchers have proposed formal definitions of quantitative information flow based on information theoretic notions such as the Shannon entropy, the min entropy, the gue...

Model checking based on validating temporal logic formulas has proven practical and effective for numerous software engineering applications. As systems based on this approach ha...
Abstract. We report on the use of model checking techniques for both the verification of a process control program and the derivation of optimal control schedules. Most of this wor...
