Abstract

The main problem in model checking that prevents it from being used for verification of large systems is the state explosion problem. This problem often arises from combining parallel processes together. Many techniques have been proposed to overcome this difficulty and, thus, increase the size of the systems that model checkers can handle. We describe several compositional model checking techniques used in practice and show a few examples demonstrating their performance.
