This volume contains the proceedings of the third
International Workshop on Computer Aided Verification, CAV
'91, held in Aalborg, Denmark, July 1-4, 1991. The objective
of this series of workshops is to bring together researchers
and practitioners interested in the development and use of
methods, tools and theories for automatic verification of
(finite) state systems. The workshop provides a unique
opportunity for comparing the numerous verification methods
and associated verification tools, and the extent to which
they may be utilized in application design. The emphasis is
not only on new research results but also on the application
of existing results to real verification problems.
The papers in the volume areorganized into sections on
equivalence checking, model checking, applications, tools
for process algebras, the state explosion problem, symbolic
model checking, verification and transformation techniques,
higher order logic, partial order approaches, hardware
verification, timed specification and verification, and
automata.
