Computer Aided Verification -

Résumé :
This volume contains the proceedings of the Fifth Conference on Computer-Aided Verfication, held in Crete, Greece, in June/July 1993. The objective of the CAV conferences is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the development anduse of methods, tools, and theories for the computer-aided verification of concurrent systems. The conferences provide an opportunity for comparing various verfication methods and tools that can be used to assist the applications designer. Emphasis is placed on new research results and the application of existing methods to real verification problems. The volume contains abstracts of three invited lectures and full versions of 37 contributed papers selected from 84 submissions.The contributions are grouped into sections on hardware verification with BDDs, methods and tools, theorem proving, analysis of real-time systems, processalgebras and calculi, partial orders, and exploiting symmetry.
