Abstract
Systerel Smart Solver (S3) is a formal verification toolset built around a synchronous modeling language (HLL), and a SAT-based symbolic Model Checker developed by Systerel. It allows building efficient formal verification solutions specially fitted for a given mission in a given development process, with a built-in focus on trustworthiness. The architecture of such a solution is described, and its application to the proof of high-level properties unambiguously implying the safety of large industrial railway control systems is reported.
