Integrating Model Checking and Procedural Languages
Point of Contact David Owen

Dates September 2003 - July 2004
Problem Automatic verification of software models will not scale to large systems, because the huge amount of memory required severely limits what can be modeled, and the whole system must be rewritten in the model, which is not practical when otherwise convenient open-source code is borrowed and reused.
Objective Develop (from working prototype) an alternative automatic verification tool without such severe memory limitations, a tool which allows as-is code to make up part of the model, but provides close to the same functionality now provided by other model-based verification tools.
