Hardware And Software Verification And Testing

This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the First International Conference on Hardware Verification, Software Testing, and PADTAD held in November 2005. The conference combines the sixth IBM Verification Workshop, the fourth IBM Software Testing Workshop, and the third PADTAD (Parallel and Distributed Systems: Testing and Debugging) Workshop. The 14 revised full papers presented together with three invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 31 submissions. The papers address all current issues in hardware/software verification, software testing, and testing of parallel and concurrent applications.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 3rd Haifa Veri?cation Conference (HVC 2007), whichtookplacein Haifa during October 2007. HVC isa forumfor researchers from both industry and academia to share and advance knowledge in the veri?cation of hardware and software systems. Academic research in veri?cation is generally divided into two paradigms - formal veri?cation and dynamic veri?cation (testing). Within each paradigm, di?erent algorithms and techniques are used for hardware and softwaresystems. Yet, attheircore, allofthesetechniquesaimtoachievethesamegoalofensuring the correct functionality of a complicated system. HVC is the only conference that brings together researchers from all four?elds, thereby encouraging the migration of methods and ideas between domains. With this goal in mind we established the HVC Award. This award rec- nizes a promising contribution to veri?cation published in the last few years. It is aimed at developments that signi?cantly advance the state of the art in veri?cation technology and show potential for future impact on di?erent ver- cation paradigms. The winners of the HVC Award are chosen by an indep- dent committee with experts from all?elds of veri?cation - both formal and dynamic, software and hardware. The winners of the 2007 HVC Award were Corina Pas?? areanu and Willem Visser, for their work on combining static and dynamic analysis. This year we received 32 submissions, out of which 15 were accepted after a thorough review conducted by the Program Committee (PC) and additional reviewers. Eachpaper wasreviewedby atleastthree reviewers, sometimes more.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th International Haifa Verification Conference, HVC 2011, held in Haifa, Israel in December 2011. The 15 revised full papers presented together with 3 tool papers and 4 posters were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on synthesis, formal verification, software quality, testing and coverage, experience and tools, and posters- student event.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Haifa Verification Conference, HVC 2013, held in Haifa, Israel in November 2013. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on SAT and SMT-based verification, software testing, supporting dynamic verification, specification and coverage, abstraction and model presentation.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Haifa Verification Conference, HVC 2017, held in Haifa, Israel in November 2017.The 13 revised full papers presented together with 4 poster and 5 tool demo papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. They are dedicated to advance the state of the art and state of the practice in verification and testing and are discussing future directions of testing and verification for hardware, software, and complex hybrid systems.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 8th International Haifa Verification Conference, HVC 2012, held in Haifa, Israel in November 2012. The 18 revised full papers presented together with 3 poster presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 36 submissions. They focus on the future directions of testing and verification for hardware, software, and complex hybrid systems.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post proceedings of the 5th International Haifa Verification Conference, HVC 2009, held in Haifa, Israel in October 2009. The 11 revised full papers presented together with four abstracts of invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 23 submissions. The papers address all current issues, challenges and future directions of verification for hardware, software, and hybrid systems and present academic research in the verification of systems, generally divided into two paradigms - formal verification and dynamic verification (testing).
