Title
Dynamic Symmetry Reduction
Abstract
Symmetry reduction is a technique to combat the state ex- plosion problem in temporal logic model checking. Its use with symbolic representation has suered from the prohibitively large BDD for the orbit relation. One suggested solution is to pre-compute a mapping from states to possibly multiple representatives of symmetry equivalence classes. In this paper, we propose a more ecien t method that determines repre- sentatives dynamically during xp oint iterations. Our scheme preserves the uniqueness of representatives. Another alternative to using the orbit relation is counter abstraction. It proved ecien t for the special case of full symmetry, provided a conducive program structure. In contrast, our solution applies also to systems with less than full symmetry, and to sys- tems where a translation into counters is not feasible. We support these claims with experimental results.
