Abstract
Finally, we present incremental state space exploration (ISSE), a technique that aims to provide a speedup in the state space exploration time of evolving simulation models; i.e., simulation models whose code changes from one version to another. A code change may or may not lead to a behavioral change. We analytically obtain necessary conditions for the ISSE technique to provide a speedup in the state space exploration time when compared to a traditional (non-incremental) SSE technique. We applied the ISSE technique to our case studies. In two case studies (namely AODV and directed diffusion), ISSE provided a speedup whereas in one case study (namely ARQ), it did not provide a speedup because the necessary conditions were violated.
