"Fly Me to the Moon": Verification of Aerospace Systems

Aerospace systems are typically made up of several communicating components.Such systems must be verified extensively before being introduced in industry.In this paper, we present two inherently different approaches towards achieving this goal.The first approach aims at scaling exhaustive verification techniques by applying divide-and-conquer principles.It involves automated compositional verification algorithms for model checking both finite and infinite-state software components.The second approach uses a model checker to automatically generate tests for aerospace algorithms and only requires knowledge of the types of inputs that the algorithms process.
