Abstract

AbstractWe present a formal framework for static specification mining. The main idea is to represent partial temporal specifications as symbolic automata – automata where transitions may be labeled by variables, and a variable can be substituted by a letter, a word, or a regular language. Using symbolic automata, we construct an abstract domain for static specification mining, capturing both the partialness of a specification and the precision of a specification. We show interesting relationships between lattice operations of this domain and common operators for manipulating partial temporal specifications, such as building a more informative specification by consolidating two partial specifications.KeywordsRegular LanguageAbstract DomainSymbolic TransitionSymbolic LanguageCode SnippetThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
