Model checking is a computer-assisted method for the analysis of dynamical systems that can be modeled by state-transition systems. Drawing from research traditions in mathematical logic, programming languages, hardware design, and theoretical computer science, model checking is now widely used for the verification of hardware and software in industry.The editors and authors of this handbook are among the world's leading researchers in this domain, and the 32 contributed chapters present a thorough view of the origin, theory, and application of model checking. In particular, the editors classify the advances in this domain and the chapters of the handbook in terms of two recurrent themes that have driven much of the research agenda: the algorithmic challenge, that is, designing model-checking algorithms that scale to real-life problems; and the modeling challenge, that is, extending the formalism beyond Kripke structures and temporal logic.The book will be valuable for researchers and graduate students engaged with the development of formal methods and verification tools.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Verified Software, VSTTE 2021, and the 14th International Workshop on Numerical Software Verification, NSV 2021, held online, in July/ October 2021.

While the classic model checking problem is to decide whether a finite system satisfies a specification, the goal of parameterized model checking is to decide, given finite systems ????(n) parameterized by n ? N, whether, for all n ? N, the system ????(n) satisfies a specification.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Trusted Systems, INTRUST 2013, held in Graz, Austria, in December 2013. The revised full papers focus on the theory, technologies and applications of trusted systems. They cover all aspects of trusted computing systems, including trusted modules, platforms, networks, services and applications, from their fundamental features and functionalities to design principles, architecture and implementation technologies.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Computer Aided Verification, CAV 2014, held as part of the Vienna Summer of Logic, VSL 2014, in Vienna, Austria, in July 2014.
