Alloy+HotCore: A fast approximation to unsat core

Identifying a minimal unsatisfiable core in an Alloy model proved to be a very useful feature in many scenarios. We extend this concept to hot core, an approximation to unsat core that enables the user to obtain valuable feedback when the Alloy's sat-solving process is abruptly interrupted. We...
