Title
Directed Model Checking for PROMELA with Relaxation-Based Distance Functions
Abstract
Directed model checking uses distance functions to guide the state space exploration to efficiently find short error paths. Distance functions based on delete-relaxation have successfully been used for, e.﾿g., model checking timed automata. However, such distance functions have not been investigated for formalisms with rich expression languages as provided by PROMELA. We present a generalization of delete-relaxation-based distance functions to a subclass of PROMELA. We have evaluated the resulting search behavior on a large number of models from the BEEM database within the HSF-SPIN model checker. Our experiments show significantly better guidance compared to the previously best distance function available in HSF-SPIN.
