Concurrent embedded real-time software verification

The verification of software is more complex than hardware due to inherent flexibilities (dynamic behavior) that incur a multitude of possible system states. The verification of Concurrent Embedded Real-Time Software (CERTS) is all the more difficult due to its concurrency and embeddedness. The work presented shows how the complexity of CERTS verification can be reduced significantly through answering common engineering questions such as when, where, and how one must verify embedded software. Application examples illustrate the usefulness of our technique in increasing verification scalability
