This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains papers presented at the BCS-FACS Workshop on Specification and Verification of Concurrent Systems held on 6-8 July 1988, at the University of Stirling, Scotland. Specification and verification techniques are playing an increasingly important role in the design and production of practical concurrent systems. The wider application of these techniques serves to identify difficult problems that require new approaches to their solution and further developments in specification and verification. The Workshop aimed to capture this interplay by providing a forum for the exchange of the experience of academic and industrial experts in the field. Presentations included: surveys, original research, practical experi ence with methods, tools and environments in the following or related areas: Object-oriented, process, data and logic based models and specifi cation methods for concurrent systems Verification of concurrent systems Tools and environments for the analysis of concurrent systems Applications of specification languages to practical concurrent system design and development. We should like to thank the invited speakers and all the authors of the papers whose work contributed to making the Workshop such a success.

Download or read book Concurrency 88 written by Friedrich H. Vogt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1988-10-12 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of CONCURRENCY 88, an international conference on formal methods for distributed systems, held October 18-19, 1988 in Hamburg. CONCURRENCY 88 responded to great interest in the field of formal methods as a means of mastering the complexity of distributed systems. In addition, the impulse was determined by the fact that the various methodological approaches, such as constructive or property oriented methods, have not had an extensive comparative analysis nor have they been investigated with respect to their possible integration and their practical implications. The following topics were addressed: Specification Languages, Models for Distributed Systems, Verification and Validation, Knowledge Based Protocol Modeling, Fault Tolerance, Distributed Databases. The volume contains 12 invited papers and 14 contributions selected by the program committee. They were presented by authors from Austria, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.

This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is currently an increasing demand for concurrent programs. Checking the correctness of concurrent programs is a complex task due to the interleavings of processes. Sometimes, violation of the correctness properties in such systems causes human or resource losses; therefore, it is crucial to check the correctness of such systems. Two main approaches to software analysis are testing and formal verification. Testing can help discover many bugs at a low cost. However, it cannot prove the correctness of a program. Formal verification, on the other hand, is the approach for proving program correctness. Model checking is a formal verification technique that is suitable for concurrent programs. It aims to automatically establish the correctness (expressed in terms of temporal properties) of a program through an exhaustive search of the behavior of the system. Model checking was initially introduced for the purpose of verifying finite‐state concurrent programs, and extending it to infinite‐state systems is an active research area. In this thesis, we focus on the formal verification of parameterized systems. That is, systems in which the number of executing processes is not bounded a priori. We provide fully-automatic and parameterized model checking techniques for establishing the correctness of safety properties for certain classes of concurrent programs. We provide an open‐source prototype for every technique and present our experimental results on several benchmarks. First, we address the problem of automatically checking safety properties for bounded as well as parameterized phaser programs. Phaser programs are concurrent programs that make use of the complex synchronization construct of Habanero Java phasers. For the bounded case, we establish the decidability of checking the violation of program assertions and the undecidability of checking deadlock‐freedom. For the parameterized case, we study different formulations of the verification problem and propose an exact procedure that is guaranteed to terminate for some reachability problems even in the presence of unbounded phases and arbitrarily many spawned processes. Second, we propose an approach for automatic verification of parameterized concurrent programs in which shared variables are manipulated by atomic transitions to count and synchronize the spawned processes. For this purpose, we introduce counting predicates that related counters that refer to the number of processes satisfying some given properties to the variables that are directly manipulated by the concurrent processes. We then combine existing works on the counter, predicate, and constrained monotonic abstraction and build a nested counterexample‐based refinement scheme to establish correctness. Third, we introduce Lazy Constrained Monotonic Abstraction for more efficient exploration of well‐structured abstractions of infinite‐state non‐monotonic systems. We propose several heuristics and assess the efficiency of the proposed technique by extensive experiments using our open‐source prototype. Lastly, we propose a sound but (in general) incomplete procedure for automatic verification of safety properties for a class of fault‐tolerant distributed protocols described in the Heard‐Of (HO for short) model. The HO model is a popular model for describing distributed protocols. We propose a verification procedure that is guaranteed to terminate even for unbounded number of the processes that execute the distributed protocol.

Download or read book Automated Verification of Concurrent Search Structures written by Krishna Siddharth and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Search structures support the fundamental data storage primitives on key-value pairs: insert a pair, delete by key, search by key, and update the value associated with a key. Concurrent search structures are parallel algorithms to speed access to search structures on multicore and distributed servers. These sophisticated algorithms perform fine-grained synchronization between threads, making them notoriously difficult to design correctly. Indeed, bugs have been found both in actual implementations and in the designs proposed by experts in peer-reviewed publications. The rapid development and deployment of these concurrent algorithms has resulted in a rift between the algorithms that can be verified by the state-of-the-art techniques and those being developed and used today. The goal of this book is to show how to bridge this gap in order to bring the certified safety of formal verification to high-performance concurrent search structures. Similar techniques and frameworks can be applied to concurrent graph and network algorithms beyond search structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2000) held in State College, Pennsylvania, USA, during 22-25 August 2000. The purpose of the CONCUR conferences is to bring together researchers, developers, and students in order to advance the theory of concurrency and promote its applications. Interest in this topic is continuously growing, as a consequence of the importance and ubiquity of concurrent systems and their - plications, and of the scienti?c relevance of their foundations. The scope covers all areas of semantics, logics, and veri?cation techniques for concurrent systems. Topics include concurrency related aspects of: models of computation, semantic domains, process algebras, Petri nets, event structures, real-time systems, hybrid systems, decidability, model-checking, veri?cation techniques, re?nement te- niques, term and graph rewriting, distributed programming, logic constraint p- gramming, object-oriented programming, typing systems and algorithms, case studies, tools, and environments for programming and veri?cation. The ?rst two CONCUR conferences were held in Amsterdam (NL) in 1990 and 1991. The following ones in Stony Brook (USA), Hildesheim (D), Uppsala (S), Philadelphia (USA), Pisa (I), Warsaw (PL), Nice (F), and Eindhoven (NL). The proceedings have appeared in Springer LNCS, as Volumes 458, 527, 630, 715, 836, 962, 1119, 1243, 1466, and 1664.
Download or read book Verification of Sequential and Concurrent Programs written by Krzysztof Apt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIS BOOK CONTAINS a most comprehensive text that presents syntax-directed and compositional methods for the formal veri?- T cation of programs. The approach is not language-bounded in the sense that it covers a large variety of programming models and features that appear in most modern programming languages. It covers the classes of - quential and parallel, deterministic and non-deterministic, distributed and object-oriented programs. For each of the classes it presents the various c- teria of correctness that are relevant for these classes, such as interference freedom, deadlock freedom, and appropriate notions of liveness for parallel programs. Also, special proof rules appropriate for each class of programs are presented. In spite of this diversity due to the rich program classes cons- ered, there exist a uniform underlying theory of veri?cation which is synt- oriented and promotes compositional approaches to veri?cation, leading to scalability of the methods. The text strikes the proper balance between mathematical rigor and - dactic introduction of increasingly complex rules in an incremental manner, adequately supported by state-of-the-art examples. As a result it can serve as a textbook for a variety of courses on di?erent levels and varying durations. It can also serve as a reference book for researchers in the theory of veri?- tion, in particular since it contains much material that never before appeared in book form. This is specially true for the treatment of object-oriented p- grams which is entirely novel and is strikingly elegant.
