dc.description.abstract |
The exploration of states is an important element of many problems. Many problems share properties which allow the formulation of general strategies for state exploration. This article examines these strategies with reference to the problem of deadlock detection in labelled transition systems. The main issues are discussed and four major tasks are identified: state generation, scheduling, state storage, and state compaction. Empirical
data is presented, optimizations and special restrictions are discussed and, finally, the results are generalized. |
