Abstract:

In this paper we present a series of techniques based on random walks to perform state exploration in a reachability graph representing a protocol. Using a set of examples, we show experimental results that demonstrate the usefulness of the techniques. We also present the theoretical framework to prove why some of the techniques work better than others.
