What is Model Checking

1.

A technique for automatically verifying correctness of finite-state systems. It refers to the algorithms for exhaustively and automatically checking the state space of a transition system to determine if a given model of the system meets a given specification.

2.

A formal verification technology of software systems that mechanically checks whether the given models satisfies the specified properties or not. Learn more in: A Survey on the Applications of Swarm Intelligence to Software Verification

“Let M be a Kripke structure (i.e., state-transition graph). Let f be a formula of temporal logic (i. e., the specification). Find all states s of M such that M,s | = f.“( Clarke, 2008 ) Learn more in: Tool Based Integration of Requirements Modeling and Validation into Business Process Modeling

4.

is a formal verification technique that compares the implementation of a design to a set of user-specified properties. It determines whether a set of properties hold true for the given implementation of a design. Learn more in: PolyOrBAC: An Access Control Model for Inter-Organizational Web Services

5.

A technique used to verify if a given system formal model satisfies some desired properties, also described in a formal way. For this, all possible executions of the model are verified. Learn more in: Functional Software Prototypes for Defining and Monitoring Individual Exercise Program

6.

model checking aka property checking refers to the following problem: Given a model of a system, exhaustively and automatically check whether this model meets a given specification. Typically, one has hardware or software systems in mind, whereas the specification contains safety requirements such as the absence of deadlocks and similar critical states that can cause the system to crash. Model checking is a technique for automatically verifying correctness properties of finite-state systems.

7.

For a system model together with a formal description of a property, model checking is a push-button decision procedure. In case the desired property is not satisfied by the model, it returns a counter-example in form of a trace. Among the options for the specification of the model, there are Kripke structures and labelled transition systems. Valid choices for property specifications are linear and branching time logics, or the propositional µ-calculus. Learn more in: Symbolic Search

8.

Model checking is a formal verification technique that determines whether given properties of a system are satisfied by a model. A model checker takes a model and a property as inputs, and outputs either a claim that the property is true or a counterexample falsifying the property.

12.

It is an automated process that when given a model of a system and a property specification, checks if the property is satisfied by the system or not. The properties requiring that ‘something bad will never happen’ are referred as safety properties, while the ones requiring that ‘something good will eventually happen’ are referred as liveness properties.

13.

A technique for checking finite state concurrent systems, such as sequential circuit designs and communication protocols. Learn more in: ScaleSem Approach to Check and to Query Semantic Graphs

14.

consist of determining whether a given property, usually described as a temporal logic formula, holds in a given model of a system. Traditionally, this problem has been studied for the automatic verification of hardware circuits and network protocols. Learn more in: Improving Automated Planning with Machine Learning
