We consider verification of safety properties for parameterized systems with linear topologies. A process in the system is an extended automaton, where the transitions are guarded by both local and global conditions. The global conditions are non-atomic, i.e., a process allows arbitrary interleavings with other transitions while checking the states of all (or some) of the other processes. We translate the problem into model checking of infinite transition systems where each configuration is a labeled finite graph. We derive an over-approximation of the induced transition system, which leads to a symbolic scheme for analyzing safety properties. We have implemented a prototype and run it on several nontrivial case studies, namely non-atomic versions of Burn’s protocol, Dijkstra’s protocol, the Bakery algorithm, Lamport’s distributed mutual exclusion protocol, and a two-phase commit protocol used for handling …
