- In a recent post, I wrote
-
- TW> EMC is a model checker for CTL formulae over Kripke structures.
- TW> Literature: Emerson, Halper, "Sometimes" and "Not Never" Revisited,
- TW> JACM, 33, 1, 1986.
-
- It was brought to my attention that above statement could be construed as
- claiming that the mentioned paper was the seminal reference about the EMC
- system or model checking. Of course, it is not, but it was the only
- reference that mentioned model checking at the time of posting. Model
- checking was first proposed by E.M. Clarke.
-
- Probably the best reference for EMC is E.M. Clarke, E.A. Emerson, A.P.
- Sistla, "Automatic Verification of Finite-State Concurrent Systems Using
- Temporal Logic Specifications", ACM Trans. Programming Languages and
- Systems, 8, 2, 1986, pp. 244-263.
-
- I apologize for any confusion my post might have caused.
-
- Cheers, Thomas.
