Abstract

We develop a verification paradigm called saturated simulation, that is applicable to designs which can be decomposed into a set of interacting controllers. The core procedure is a symbolic algorithm that explores the space of controller interactions; heuristics for making this traversal efficient are described. Experiments demonstrate that our procedure explores substantially more of the controller interactions, and is more efficient than conventional symbolic reachability analysis.
