Verification of embedded software relying on black-box hardware is challenging whenever precise specifications of the underlying systems are incomplete or not available. Learning structured hardware models is a powerful enabler of verification in these cases, but it can be inefficient when the system to be learned is data-intensive rather than...

In the context of Requirements Engineering, checking the consistency of functional requirements is an important and still mostly open problem. In case of requirements written in natural language, the corresponding manual review is time consuming and error prone. On the other hand, automated consistency checking most often requires overburdening...

Property Specification Patterns (PSPs) have been proposed to solve recurring specification needs, to ease the formalization of requirements, and enable automated verification thereof. In this paper, we extend PSPs by considering Boolean as well as atomic numerical assertions. This extension enables us to reason about functional requirements...
