Abstract

Wolf is a “push-button” model checker for concurrent C programs developed in IBM Haifa. It automatically generates both the model and the specification directly from the C code. Currently, Wolf uses BDD-based symbolic methods integrated with a guided search framework. According to our experiments, these methods complement explicit exploration methods of software model checking.
