Recent improvements to the McErlang model checker

Abstract

In this paper we describe a number of recent improvements to the McErlang model checker, including a new source to source translation to enable more Erlang programs to work under McErlang, a methodology for writing properties that can be verified by McErlang, and a combination of simulation and model checking. The latter two features are illustrated by means of the messenger example found in the documentation of the Erlang/OTP distribution.
