A critical issue for complex component-based systems design is the modeling and analysis of architecture. One of the complicating factors in developing architectural models is acc...
We present a novel technique that speeds up state-space exploration (SSE) for evolving programs with dynamically allocated data. SSE is the essence of explicit-state model checkin...
