The Stanford Temporal Prover, STeP, is being developed by the REACT research group to support the computer-aided formal verification of reactive, real-time and hybrid systems based on their temporal specification. Unlike most systems for temporal verification, STeP is not restricted to finite-state systems, but combines model checking with deductive methods to allow the verification of a broad class of systems, including parameterized (N-component) circuit designs, parameterized (N-process) programs, and programs with infinite data domains.
