Improved SMT-Based Bounded Model Checking for Real-Time Systems
改进的以SMT为基础的实时系统限界模型检测

SAT-Based bounded model checking (BMC) has high complexity in dealing with real-time systems. Satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) solvers can generalize SAT solving by adding the ability to handle arithmetic and other decidable theories. This paper uses SMT in BMC for real-time systems instead of SAT. The clocks can be represented as integer or real variables directly and clock constraints can be represented as linear arithmetic expressions. These make the checking procedure more efficient. TCTL (timed computation tree logic) is used to specify the properties of real-time systems and improvement of the encodings has been done.
