Model checking wrap up
The goal of model checking is to allow finite state
descriptions to be analyzed and shown to have particular
desirable properties
Won’t help when you don’t want or need finite state descriptions
Definitely added value when you do, but it’s not turnkey yet
There’s still a real art in managing model checking
Definitely feasible on modest sized systems
This was fast: my goal wasn’t to make you into model
checking experts
But it might titillate one or two of you to learn more
But rather to understand the sketches of what model
checking is and why it is so promising for checking some
classes of specifications
