Abstract

Sally is a model checker for infinite-state systems that implements several verification algorithms, including a variant of IC3/PDR called Property-Directed K-induction. We present an application of Sally to automated verification of fault-tolerant distributed algorithms.

This work was supported in part by NASA Cooperative Agreement NNX14AI05A and by NSF grant 1528153. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the funding agencies.
