Ensuring the correctness of a given software component has become a crucial aspect in Software Engineering and the Model Checking technique provides a fully automated way to achieve this goal. In particular, the usage of Model Checking in formal languages has been reinforced in the last decades given the fact that specifications provide an abstraction of the problem under study, supplying a model of the system of tractable size given the state explosion problem faced by the Model Checking technique.In this paper we focus on the main issues for adding Model Checking functionalities to the RAISE specification language and present the semantic foundations of our current approach for doing so. An outline of the main problems faced in the process and of the solutions to solve them are also presented.
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.
