2 Introduction Safety properties properties with finite counterexamples. Uses: Testing Program monitoring Model Checking Focus: LTL using the automata theoretic approach. Main problem: translating LTL formulas to finite automata. Spin 2003 p.2/16
3 Why safety properties? Treating safety properties as a special case has certain benefits. Safety properties an important subset. Spin 2003 p.3/16
4 Why safety properties? Treating safety properties as a special case has certain benefits. Safety properties an important subset. Explicit state model checking algorithms are somewhat simpler. Spin 2003 p.3/16
5 Why safety properties? Treating safety properties as a special case has certain benefits. Safety properties an important subset. Explicit state model checking algorithms are somewhat simpler. BDD-based algorithms are faster (linear vs quadratic). Spin 2003 p.3/16
6 Why safety properties? Treating safety properties as a special case has certain benefits. Safety properties an important subset. Explicit state model checking algorithms are somewhat simpler. BDD-based algorithms are faster (linear vs quadratic). For methods such as Petri net unfoldings, safety is much simpler. Spin 2003 p.3/16
7 Challenges Treating safety as a special case poses some challenges: Deciding if an LTL formula is a safety formula is PSPACE-complete. Spin 2003 p.4/16
8 Challenges Treating safety as a special case poses some challenges: Deciding if an LTL formula is a safety formula is PSPACE-complete. Translating a safety LTL formula to finite automaton doubly exponential. Spin 2003 p.4/16
9 Challenges Treating safety as a special case poses some challenges: Deciding if an LTL formula is a safety formula is PSPACE-complete. Translating a safety LTL formula to finite automaton doubly exponential. Non-pathological formulas have a singly exponential translation to finite automata. Spin 2003 p.4/16
