Abstract. Concurrent systems are commonly verified after computing a state graph describing all possible behaviors. Unfortunately, this state graph is often too large to be effectively built. Partial-order techniques have been developed to avoid combinatorial explosion while preserving the properties of interest. This paper investigates the combination of two such approaches, persistent sets and covering steps, and proposes partial enumeration algorithms that cumulate their respective benefits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
