As a result, the number of validity checks needed to prove the necessary verification condition has been reduced. The key idea is to refine an approximate abstract transition relation based on the counter-example generated. The system starts with an approximate abstract transition relation on which the verification condition (in our case, this is a safety property) is model-checked. If the property holds then the proof is done; otherwise the model checker returns an abstract counter-example trace. This trace is used to refine the abstract transition relation if possible and start anew. At the end of the process, the system either proves the verification condition or comes up with an abstract counter-example trace which holds in the most accurate abstract transition relation possible (with the user-provided predicates as a basis). If the verification condition fails in the abstract system, then either the concrete system does not satisfy it or the abstraction predicates chosen are not strong enough. This algorithm has been used on a concurrent garbage collection algorithm and a secure contract-signing protocol. This method improved the performance on the first problem significantly, and allowed us to tackle the second problem, which the previous method could not handle.","PeriodicalId":366313,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 16th Annual IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131274014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Strong normalisation is a useful property in many computational contexts, including distributed systems. In spite of its simplicity, our type discipline captures a wide class of converging name-passing interactive behaviours. The proof of strong normalisability combines methods from typed /spl lambda/-calculi and linear logic with process-theoretic reasoning. It is adaptable to systems involving state and other extensions. Strong normalisation is shown to have significant consequences, including finite axiomatisation of weak bisimilarity, a fully abstract embedding of the simply-typed /spl lambda/-calculus with products and sums and basic liveness in interaction. Strong normalisability has been extensively studied as a fundamental property in functional calculi, term rewriting and logical systems. This work is one of the first steps to extend theories and proof methods for strong normalisability to the context of name-passing processes.","PeriodicalId":366313,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 16th Annual IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130146152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

R.E. Shostak's (J. of the ACM, vol. 31, no. 1, pp. 1-12, 1984) decision procedure for equality in the combination of solvable and canonizable theories has been around for nearly two decades. Variations of this decision procedure have been implemented in a number of specification and verification systems, including STP, EHDM, PVS, STeP and SVC. The algorithm is quite subtle and a correctness argument for it has remained elusive. Shostak's algorithm and all previously published variants of it yield incomplete decision procedures. We describe a variant of Shostak's algorithm, along with proofs of termination, soundness and completeness.","PeriodicalId":366313,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 16th Annual IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124173633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Essential ingredients for this purpose are term orderings that are E-compatible, for the given E, and algorithms deciding constraint satisfiability for such orderings. In this paper, we introduce a uniform technique providing the first such algorithms for some orderings for Abelian semigroups, Abelian monoids and Abelian groups, which we believe will lead to reasonably efficient techniques for practice. The algorithms are optimal since we show that, for any well-founded E-compatible ordering for these E, the constraint satisfiability problem is NP-hard, even for conjunctions of inequations, and that our algorithms are in NP.","PeriodicalId":366313,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 16th Annual IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130470745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For Kripke structures, a rich fixpoint theory is available in the form of the /spl mu/-calculus, yet few connections have been made between different interpretations of fixpoint algorithms. We study the question of when a particular fixpoint iteration scheme /spl phi/ for verifying an /spl omega/-regular property /spl Psi/ on a Kripke structure can be used also for solving a two-player game on a game graph with winning objective /spl Psi/. We provide a sufficient and necessary criterion for the answer to be affirmative in the form of an extremal-model theorem for games: under a game interpretation, the dynamic program /spl phi/ solves the game with objective /spl Psi/ iff both (1) under an existential interpretation on Kripke structures, /spl phi/ is equivalent to /spl exist//spl Psi/, and (2) under a universal interpretation on Kripke structures, /spl phi/ is equivalent to /spl forall//spl Psi/. In other words, /spl phi/ is correct on all two-player game graphs iff it is correct on all extremal game graphs, where one or the other player has no choice of moves. The theorem generalizes to quantitative interpretations, where it connects two-player games with costs to weighted graphs. While the standard translations from /spl omega/-regular properties to the /spl mu/-calculus violate (1) or (2), we give a translation that satisfies both conditions. Our construction, therefore, yields fixpoint iteration schemes that can be uniformly applied on Kripke structures, weighted graphs, game graphs, and game graphs with costs, in order to meet or optimize a given /spl omega/-regular objective.","PeriodicalId":366313,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 16th Annual IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129599195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
