Tools

SMV

We will be using SMV as the first model checker in the exercise. SMV was developed by Ken McMillan. There are different versions of SMV. The first version is CMU SMV. CMU SMV does CTL model checking. The newer version is Cadence SMV. Cadence SMV supports CTL and LTL Model Checking, but concentrates on LTL model checking. Besides these 'originals' there are some reimplementations and modified SMV versions. We will be using Cadence SMV in the exercise.

SPIN

The second model checker we will be using in the exercise is SPIN. SPIN was developed by Bell Labs and is available for free since 1991. SPIN is a LTL model checker that concentrates on software verification. There are a bunch of modified versions: RT-SPIN, dSPIN, etc. We will be using the original for the exercise.

UPPAAL

The last model checker in this exercise will be the real-time model checker Uppaal. It was developed in cooperation with the university of Aalborg and the Uppsala university. Uppaal concentrates on the verification of safety-conditions. The specification of attributes is carried out through a subset of CTL.
