Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Parallel and distributed model checking has become a topic of growing interest since 1990s.
A distributed model checker can verify large models because it can have access to a large amount of memory and computing power.
Until now, there are many distributed model checkers that have been developed.

A novel distributed model checking design and its implementation are discussed in this Thesis.
This approach has two phases.
In the first phase, the swarm verification is performed to generate a partial state space.
In the second phase, the partial state space is used as input, and the remainder of the state space is generated by performing one level breadth-first search in a loop.
The implementation combines SPIN and Hadoop.
SPIN is a well-known model checker.
Hadoop is a well-known open source implementation of the MapReduce distributed computing framework.
Our design is independent of the model checker used, so it is possible to choose another model checker than SPIN.

The benchmark experiments proved the concept of our design is feasible.
Analysis on the experiment results revealed the strategy on how to achieve fast state space generation.
However, further improvements in the implementation are still needed to support additional features of SPIN in state space generation.
