摘要:
A model may comprise finite paths in respect to a constraint. The model and the constraint may be modified such that a portion of the limitations induces by the constraint is injected to the model. Adding the limitation directly to the model may be expressed by a reduction of a measurement of nondeterminism in the model. The model may be modified based on the constraint, and the constraint may be modified based on the model. The constraint may be strengthened to provide for an early finite path detection.

A computer-implemented method for verifying a design includes representing a verification directive, which pertains to the design and includes a local variable, by a finite state machine. The state machine includes multiple states, with transitions among the states, transition conditions associated with the transitions, and procedural blocks, which correspond to the transitions and define operations to be performed on the local variable when traversing the respective transitions.The finite state machine is executed by traversing the transitions in accordance with the respective transition conditions and modifying the local variable in accordance with the respective procedural blocks of the traversed transitions, so as to verify the design with respect to the verification directive.

A method of applying formal verification methodologies to event processing applications is provided herein. The method includes the following stages: representing an event processing application as an event processing network, being a graph with event processing agents as nodes; generating a finite state machine based on the event processing network, wherein the finite state machine is an over-approximation of the event processing application; expressing stateful rules and policies that are associated with the event processing application using temporal logic, to yield a temporal representation of the event processing application; combining the temporal representation and the finite state machine into a model; generating a statement associated with a user-selected verification-related property of the event processing application, wherein the statement is generated using the temporal representation; and applying the statement to the model, to yield an indication for: (i) a correctness of the statement or (ii) a counter example, respectively.

Device, system and method of efficient automata-based implementation of liveness properties for formal verification. A system according to embodiments of the invention includes a property transformation module to receive an assume verification directive on a liveness property in a property specification language, and to translate the property a fairness statement that uses a deterministic automaton. The deterministic automaton is exponential in the size of the input property. The assume verification directive may be transformed into a strong suffix implication in the property specification language.
