The highly symmetric nature of the problem is exploited using plain promela, topspin (an extension to Spin for symmetry reduction), and by connecting Spin to bliss (a tool to compute canonical representations of graphs). The model checker Spin is used to compare the consequences of the various modelling choices. This ‒ tutorial style ‒ paper is meant as a road map of the various ways of modelling symmetric systems that can be explored. rv:
