Partial Order Reduction for Rewriting Semantics of Programming Languages
Software model checkers are typically language-specific, require substantial development efforts, and are hard to reuse for other languages. Adding partial order reduction (POR)...

Tools and Techniques for Model Checking Networked Programs
For software executing several threads in parallel, testing is unreliable, as it cannot cover all thread schedules. Model checking, however, can cover all possible thread interlea...
