Summary:We introduce a new semiformal design validation framework to justify hard-to-reach corner-case states. We propose a cultural learning technique to identify the swarming of domain knowledge during the search. In addition, our guidance strategy abstracts sets of partitioned state variables, from which pre-images are computed to capture the expanded portions of the state spaces related to a target state. Experimental results show that our approach is very effective to reach hard- to-reach states than existing methods.
