This paper presents a new formal method for the efficient verification of concurrent systems that are modeled using a safe Petri net representation. Our method generalizes upon partial-order methods to explore concurrently enabled conflicting paths simultaneously. We show that our method can achieve an exponential reduction in algorithmic complexity without resorting to an implicit enumeration approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
