New Paradigms in Computer Aided Verification

Computer aided verification process (CAV) comprises mathematically based strict approaches for the verification, specification and development of hardware and software systems. The goal of CAD is to make such systems more robust, correct and dependable. Mathematical theories, design phase and specification formalism are used to categorize verification methods. Methods for verification during the design phase comprise testing, specification and implementation. Markov chains, process algebras and timed automata are the processes done in specification formalism. Static analysis, model checking and theorem proving are part of the verification process in mathematical theories. SPIN, NuSMV, UPPAAL, CBMC, TLA+, dafny, and PRISM are some of the tools that can be utilized in CAV. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models and prospective developments with respect to computer science and information technology. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up.
