MTS - Mind the Shapes

 

Subproject

Model reduction

Overview

The tool combines a particular finitary abstraction, namely Data-Type Reduction for Dynamic Communication Systems, with global system invariants obtained by abstract interpretation the model. These system invariants are automatically computed by the tool and establish an over-approximation of possible communication topologies occurring at runtime. The invariants are integrated into the abstraction procedure and thereby identify and exclude spurious behaviour of the finitary abstraction.
