Generating optimal distinguishing sequences with a model checker.

This paper presents an approach for the automatic generation of shortest Distinguishing Sequences (DS) with the Uppaal model checker. The presented method is applicable to a large number of extended finite state machines and it will find an optimal result, if a DS sequence exists for the considered...
