Abstract: Formal validation is a powerful technique for automatically checking that a collection of communicating processes is free from concurrency-related errors. Although validation tools invariably find subtle errors that were missed during thorough simulation and testing, the brute-force search they perform can result in excessive memory usage and extremely long running times. Recently, a number of researchers have been investigating techniques known as partial-order methods that can... (Update)
