Software verification of evolving systems is challenging mainstream methodologies and tools. Formal verification techniques often conflict with the time constraints imposed by change management practices for evolving systems. Since changes…

Determining whether a configurable software system has a performance bug or it was misconfigured is often challenging. While there are numerous debugging techniques that can support developers in this task, there is limited empirical…

The rapid progress and advancement in electronic chips technology provide a variety of new implementation options for system engineers. The choice varies between the flexible programs running on a general-purpose processor (GPP) and the…

Users are demanding increased data security. As a result, security is rapidly becoming a first-order design constraint in next generation computing systems. Researchers and practitioners are exploring various security technologies to meet…

[Context and motivation] When developing software, coordination between different organizational units is essential in order to develop a good quality product, on time and within budget. Particularly, the synchronization between…

Embedded systems interaction with environment inherently complicates understanding of requirements and their correct implementation. However, product uncertainty is highest during early stages of development. Design verification is an…

Evolvable hardware combines the powerful search capability of evolutionary algorithms with the flexibility of reprogrammable devices, thereby providing a natural framework for reconfiguration. This framework has generated an interest in…

Many digital systems are designed as collections of asynchronous processes orchestrated by a domain-specific scheduler. The verification of such scheduler-restricted asynchronous systems (SRA) is challenging due to process-process and…

Hardware-firmware co-verification is critical to design trustworthy systems. While formal methods can provide verification guarantees, due to the complexity of firmware and hardware, it can lead to state space explosion. There are promising…

As the demand for Internet of Things (IoT) and Human-to-Machine Interaction (HMI) increases, modern System-on-Chips (SoCs) offering such solutions are becoming increasingly complex. This intricate design poses significant challenges for…

Reliability and availability analysis are essential in dependable critical embedded systems. The classical implementation of dependability for an embedded system relies on merging both fundamental structures with the required dependability…

We present a safety verification framework for design-time and run-time assurance of learning-based components in aviation systems. Our proposed framework integrates two novel methodologies. From the design-time assurance perspective, we…

In this paper we address the issue of change after deployment in safety-critical embedded system applications. Our goal is to substitute lab-based verification with in-field formal analysis to determine whether an update may be safely…

We address the challenge of product configuration in the context of increasing customer demand for diverse and complex products. We propose a solution through a curated selection of product model benchmarks formulated in the COOM language,…

This work addresses the critical challenges of upgrading smart contracts, which are vital for trust in automated transactions but difficult to modify once deployed. To address this issue, we propose SEAM, a novel framework that automates…

This contribution presents a new approach for allocating suitable function-implementation variants depending on given quality-of-service function-requirements for run-time reconfigurable multi-device systems. Our approach adapts…

Secure firmware update is an important stage in the IoT device life-cycle. Prior techniques, designed for other computational settings, are not readily suitable for IoT devices, since they do not consider idiosyncrasies of a realistic…

Scientific software applications are increasingly developed by large interdiscplinary teams operating on functional modules organized around a common software framework, which is capable of integrating new functional capabilities without…

The design of genetic networks with specific functions is one of the major goals of synthetic biology. However, constructing biological devices that work "as required" remains challenging, while the cost of uncovering flawed designs…

An engineering design process may involve software modules that can executed concurrently. Concurrent modules can be very easily subject to some synchronization errors. This paper discusses verification process for such engineering…
