Abstract

We present a hybrid methodology that combines simulation and symbolic traversal in order to improve invariant checking. The methodology concentrates on concurrent systems, whose peculiarities are not fully exploited by other existing techniques for hybrid verification. Our approach exploits the information obtained from simulations to improve the knowledge of the state space, effectively guiding symbolic traversal.
