We present the Crowbar tool, a deductive verification system for the ABS language. ABS models distributed systems with the Active Object concurrency model. Crowbar implements behavioral symbolic execution: each method is symbolically executed, but specification and prior static analyses influence the shape of the symbolic execution tree. User interaction is realized through guided counterexamples, which present failed proof branches in terms of the input program. Crowbar has a clear interface to implement new specification languages and verification calculi in the Behavioral Program Logic and has been applied for the biggest verification case study of Active Objects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
