1 Bogor – Software Model Checking Framework Presented by: Arpita Gandhi

2 Goals Build an extensible software model checking framework Design a UI to support general purpose and domain-specific software model checking. Offer direct support of OO languages Use it to teach model checking concepts.

3 Motivation Current model checking tools  SPIN  FDR2  NuSMV Limitations  Support a fixed input language  Fixed collection of state-space representations, reduction and exploration algorithms.  No direct support for OO languages

4 History of Bogor Developed by: Robby – Kansas State University John Hatcliff – Kansas State University Matthew B. Dwyer – University of Nebraska The Laboratory for Specification, Analysis, and Transformation of Software (SAnTos Laboratory)

5 About Bogor Highly customizable, extensible software model checking framework Handles language constructs in software system designs and implementations Helps create domain – specific model checking engines

6 Features Direct support of object oriented languages Extensible modular framework Open modular architecture Design for encapsulation Pedagogical materials

7 Bogor Architecture

8 Limitations Bogor does not include features like  symmetry reduction  collapse compression  partial order reduction Extension modules can be downloaded separately and enabled  These are available through the SVN repository

9 Downloading and Using Bogor Requirements  Java2 Runtime Environment Version 5 or above  Eclipse Platform or SDK Version 3.1 or above  Eclipse GEF-3.1 or above Download Bogor source distribution and binaries Note: Instructions to download from SVN repository can be found at
