Alternating Bit Protocol

This is a visualisation of 3643 states and 11115 transitions of a TLA+ model of the alternating bit protocol, as distributed with the TLA+ tools. This model (MCAlternatingBit.tla) was loaded with ProB for TLA+, the model checker run for a few seconds and then the command "State Space Fast Rendering" with options (scale,fast) was used.

The goal predicate rBit=1 was used; those states satisfying this predicate are shown in orange.

Below is a projection of this state space onto the expression (rBit,sBit), using the "Custom Transition Diagram" feature of ProB:

More details about this statespace projection feature can be found in our ICFEM'15 article.

The main file of the model is:

MCInnerFIFO

This is a visualisation of 3866 states and 9661 transitions of a TLA+ model of a FIFO, as distributed with the TLA+ tools. This model (MCInnerFIFO) was loaded with ProB for TLA+ and the model checker run so that all states with queue size greater than qLen (3) were ignored, i.e., no successor states were computed (this can be set by defining SCOPE==card(q)<=qLen). The colour indicates the length of the queue variable q of the model (gray=0,blue=1,red=2, green=3, lightgray=4) .

RushHour

This is a visualisation of the Rush_Hour_Puzzle Rush Hour puzzle B model, at the moment that ProB has found a solution. The solution node(s) are marked in orange.

CAN Bus

This is a visualisation of the statespace of an Event-B model of a CAN Bus. The colours indicate the size of the BUSwrite variable (gray=0,blue=1,red=2, green=3, lightgray=4).

Hanoi (6 Discs)

This is a visualisation of the statespace of a B model of the towers of Hanoi for 6 discs. The state space contains 731 nodes and 2186 nodes.

One can observe that this figure resembles a Sierpinski triangle. This is no coincidence, the state space of Hanoi is one.

Below is a projection of this state space onto the expression card(on(dest))), using the "Custom Transition Diagram" feature of ProB:

Threads - Partial Order Reduction

This is the visualisation of a simple threads model, of two threads with n=51 steps before a synchronisation occurs and threads start again. The state space contains 5410 nodes. One can clearly see two synchronisation points on the left-hand side and right-hand side, and that in between synchronisation the processes simply interleave.

With partial order reduction, the state space is reduced to 208 states:
