Abstract. State space explosion is the hardest challenge to the effective application of model checking methods. We present a new technique for achieving drastic state space reduct...
Abstract. We present a new technique called Monotonic Partial Order Reduction (MPOR) that effectively combines dynamic partial order reduction with symbolic state space exploration...
We study the effect of three new reduction strategies for conventional reachability analysis, as used in automated protocol validation algorithms. The first two strategies are imp...

Model checkers search the space of possible program behaviors to detect errors and to demonstrate their absence. Despite major advances in reduction and optimization techniques, s...

This paper describes a compositional approach to generate the labeled transition system representing the behavior of a Lotos program by repeatedly alternating composition and reduc...
