SpinSpider uses debugging output from Spin to generate a diagram of the state space of a Promela model; the diagram can be incrementally displayed using iDot. VN supports teaching nondeterministic finite automata. The Erigone model checker is a partial reimplementation of Spin designed to be easy to use, well structured and well documented. It produces a full trace of the execution of the model checker in a format that is both readable and amenable to postprocessing.}, identifier = {05571130}, }
