Michael Mann – scrittore e regista di L’ultimo dei Mohicani, Insider - Dietro la verità, Alt, Miami Vice e Collateral, ha lavorato con Meg Gardiner, vincitrice del Premio Edgar, per scrivere il suo primo romanzo, un esplosivo ritorno all’universo narrativo e ai personaggi del suo celebre film, Heat- La sfida. «Heat 2 dà vita a una delle più brillanti rappresentazioni che io abbia mai letto dei criminali e dei poliziotti che danno loro la caccia. Questo primo romanzo di Michael Mann (e Meg Gardiner) è una storia che si può leggere da sola anche se approfondisce l’iconico film, collocando tutti i personaggi chiave in una nuova storia che si svolge prima e dopo Heat – La sfida.» – Don Winslow È trascorso un giorno dalla fine di Heat - La sfida. Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer), ferito e febbricitante, si è nascosto a Koreatown e sta cercando disperatamente di fuggire da Los Angeles. A dargli la caccia è il detective Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino). Qualche ora prima Hanna ha ucciso il suo complice Neil Mc-Cauley (Robert De Niro) in uno scontro a fuoco sulla pista dell’aeroporto, e ora è deciso a eliminare anche lui, ultimo sopravvissuto della banda, prima che si volatilizzi. Nel 1988, sette anni prima, McCauley, Shiherlis e la loro banda di rapinatori professionisti hanno messo a segno una serie di colpi nella West Coast, al confine con il Messico e poi a Chicago. Audaci e motivati, si sono arricchiti e vivono intensamente. E proprio a Chicago il detective della Omicidi Vincent Hanna – un uomo che non è mai venuto a patti con il proprio passato – sta seguendo la sua vocazione: inseguire criminali armati e pericolosi fi no nei luoghi più oscuri e selvaggi, e dare la caccia a una banda di scassinatori ultraviolenti. Nel frattempo, le conseguenze delle rapine di McCauley e l’inseguimento di Hanna mettono in moto una serie di eventi inaspettati che si dipanano in una narrazione parallela attraverso gli anni che seguono Heat. Heat 2 proietta i personaggi vividi e credibili del film in mondi completamente nuovi, dal sancta sanctorum di un cartello della droga in Sudamerica, fino alle organizzazioni criminali transnazionali del Sudest asiatico, coinvolgendo il lettore nelle loro vite mentre affrontano nuovi avversari in circostanze estreme e letali.

Symbolic model checking is an important tool for finding bugs (or proving the absence of bugs) in modern hardware and software systems. Because of this, improving the ease of use, scalability, and performance of model checking tools and algorithms continues to be an influential research direction. In service of this goal, we present two tools followed by two novel techniques that expand the state of the art in symbolic model checking. The first tool, Smt-Switch, provides simple, uniform, and high-performance access to satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) solving for applications in areas such as automated reasoning, planning, and formal verification. We then present Pono, an open-source SMT-based model checker built on Smt-Switch. Pono is designed to be both a research platform for developing and improving model checking algorithms, as well as a performance-competitive tool to be used for academic and industry verification applications. Next, we use this infrastructure to prototype two model checking approaches that reduce the difficulty of a problem by modifying the given transition system model. First, we develop a framework for model checking infinite-state systems by automatically augmenting them with auxiliary variables, enabling quantifier-free induction proofs for systems that would otherwise require quantified invariants. We combine this mechanism with a counterexample-guided abstraction refinement scheme for the theory of arrays. Our approach can, in many cases, reduce inductive reasoning with quantifiers and arrays to quantifier-free and array-free reasoning. Second, we adapt partial order reduction (POR) for bounded model checking of synchronous hardware and introduce a novel technique that makes partial order reduction practical in this new domain. We demonstrate substantial performance improvements over unaltered bounded model checking with this technique, despite the conventional wisdom that POR is only applicable for asynchronous systems.
