Abstract

We consider parameterized verification, i.e., proving correctness of a system with an unbounded number of processes. We describe the method of view abstraction whose aim is to provide a small model property, i.e., showing correctness by only inspecting instances of the system consisting of a small fixed number of processes. We illustrate the method through an application to the classical Burns' mutual exclusion protocol.
