Title
Checking Static Properties Using Conservative SAT Approximations for Reachability.
Abstract
The use of specialised approximations for reachability, instead of exact reachability, has given rise to scalable methods to verify deadlock freedom in the context of distributed finite-state systems. In this work, we extend these approaches to check static properties. These properties capture the immediate/static behaviour of a system. The static nature of these properties make them a good match for the sort of over-approximations we use. Local-deadlock freedom and mutual exclusion are two commonly desired properties for distributed systems that naturally fit into our framework. Local-deadlock freedom, in particular, specifies that no subsystem can reach a permanently blocked state. We show by a series of experiments that our approximate framework can prove such properties for a number of interesting systems, and it can do so more efficiently compared to complete approaches.
