Abstract

The TLA⁺ Proof System (TLAPS) allows users to verify proofs with the support of automated theorem provers, including SMT solvers. To increase trust in TLAPS, we revisited the encoding of TLA⁺ for SMT, whose implementation had become too complex. Our approach is based on a first-order axiomatization with E-matching patterns. The new encoding is available with TLAPS and achieves performances similar to the previous version, despite its simpler design.

为 SMT 安全编码 TLA+ 证明义务

TLA+ 证明系统（TLAPS）允许用户在自动定理证明器（包括 SMT 求解器）的支持下验证证明。为了增加对 TLAPS 的信任，我们重新研究了 TLA+ 对 SMT 的编码，因为它的实现变得过于复杂。我们的方法基于带有 E 匹配模式的一阶公理化。新编码可与 TLAPS 一起使用，尽管设计更简单，但性能却与前一版本相近。

期刊介绍： Science of Computer Programming is dedicated to the distribution of research results in the areas of software systems development, use and maintenance, including the software aspects of hardware design. The journal has a wide scope ranging from the many facets of methodological foundations to the details of technical issues andthe aspects of industrial practice. The subjects of interest to SCP cover the entire spectrum of methods for the entire life cycle of software systems, including • Requirements, specification, design, validation, verification, coding, testing, maintenance, metrics and renovation of software; • Design, implementation and evaluation of programming languages; • Programming environments, development tools, visualisation and animation; • Management of the development process; • Human factors in software, software for social interaction, software for social computing; • Cyber physical systems, and software for the interaction between the physical and the machine; • Software aspects of infrastructure services, system administration, and network management.
