Abstract

Model Checking has become one of the most powerful methods for automatic verification of software systems. However it is widely accepted that this technique is only usable when the behavior of the system to be analyzed is given by small models, in order to avoid the state explosion problem. The paper presents αSPIN, an XML-based tool for obtaining abstract versions from a given model written in PROMELA, which can be verified with the model checker SPIN. This tool follows the theoretical basis presented in [9].
