Pardinus: A Temporal Relational Model Finder

Abstract

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.

Verifying Temporal Relational Models with Pardinus

“…The full article [7] expands in detail on the topics mentioned before and also adds a substantial evaluation section, answering several research questions and demonstrating the relevance of the techniques implemented in Pardinus.…”

“…Pardinus is also used as a backend in Forge [11], a system to prototype formal methods tools. This article summarises [7], which has four main contributions, when compared to previous publications presenting Pardinus and Electrum:…”

“…We then briefly mention the different analyses which are performed by Pardinus. Details can be found in [7].…”

Validating multiple variants of an automotive light system with Alloy 6

“…Its most recent version, Alloy 6 (previously known as Electrum), besides allowing structural definitions and constraints in first-order relational logic, also supports mutable relations and (past and future) linear temporal logic (LTL) constraints [21]. Its companion Analyzer [5] provides support for validation through scenario animation, and verification through two automatic model checking backends, one bounded and the other complete [22]. Both animation instances and verification counterexamples are presented back to the user in a unified graphical interface.…”
