Alloy is a specification language based on a relational firstorder logic with built-in operators for transitive closure, set cardinality, and integer arithmetic. The Alloy Analyzer checks Alloy specifications automatically with respect to bounded domains. Thus, while suitable for finding counterexamples, it cannot, in general, provide correctness proofs. This paper presents Kelloy, a tool for verifying Alloy specifications with respect to potentially infinite domains. It describes an automatic translation of the full Alloy language to the first-order logic of the KeY theorem prover, and an Alloy-specific extension to KeY's calculus. It discusses correctness and completeness conditions of the translation, and reports on our automatic and interactive experiments.
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.
