ABOUT

Statistical Model Checking has recently been proposed as an alternative
to avoid an exhaustive exploration of the state space of a system under
verification. The core idea of the approach is to conduct some sim-
ulations of the system and then use results from the statistics area in
order to decide whether the system satisfies the property with respect
to a given probability. The answer is correct up to some confidence.
SMC is generally much faster (but less precise) than formal verification
techniques. Moreover, the approach can be used to verify properties that
cannot be expressed by the classical temporal logics used in formal
verification. The objective of SMC 2013 is to discuss recent advances
in Statistical Model Checking.
