      abstract     = {NIPS is a virtual machine for the generation of
                      state-transition systems of concurrent models, and is
                      designed to serve as a foundation for the development of
                      model checking applications. Like any explicit-state
                      representation, the transition systems produced by NIPS
                      suffer from the state-explosion problem, by which models
                      have exponentially large state spaces. This work is
                      dedicated to the reduction of the effect of the
                      state-explosion problem in NIPS. State space reduction works
                      by obtaining a reduced state-transition system from a model,
                      which is equivalent to the original system under a given
                      specification, or a given set of specifications. Model
                      checking may be applied to the reduced system instead of to
                      the original one, thus obtaining the same result in a more
                      efficient manner. NIPS features a byte-code language for
                      encoding concurrent models. High-level modeling languages
                      may be compiled to this byte-code, and the interpretation of
                      the byte-code by the machine results in the construction of
                      the model’s state space representation. This architecture
                      allows us to implement on-the-fly reductions merely by
                      transforming the byte-code to another whose state-transition
                      system is a reduced version of the original, and employing
                      information gathered from static analysis of the byte-code
                      in the process.},
