The mCRL2 tool-set utilizes parameterised boolean equation systems to verify formulas from modal mu-calculus on models written in the minimal common representation language (mCRL2). For models of real-timed systems this introduces real-valued parameters in these equation systems. Solving parameterised boolean equation systems with real-valued parameters is not possible in most cases. We will show that …continue reading

Concurrent data structures can be used to communicate between parallel processes in a system. The challenge in manipulating these objects arises from the many possible ways in which the processes can interleave. To ensure correct executions, the system should fulfill linearizability. Verifying linearizability consists of checking that every concurrent execution is equivalent to some sequential …continue reading

Systems-on-Chips rely on the correct functioning of the communication between their components. As these systems grow more complex, so do the underlying communication networks. Simulating a network does not guarantee the entire state-space is explored, therefore formal verification methods should be used to ensure correctness of these Networks-on-Chips. This thesis uses the MaDL modelling language …continue reading

Although most model checking logics focus on proving qualitative properties, with the logic plmu*+ introduced in Mio’s PhD thesis one can check the probability that some behaviour happens. In this work we try to bring this logic to practice. We attempt to find intuitive meaning for plmu*+-formulas with the aim to create guidelines to create …continue reading
