Summary:SPIN is an efficient verification system for models of distributed
software systems. It has been used to detect design errors in
applications ranging from high-level descriptions of distributed
algorithms to detailed code for controlling telephone exchanges. The
paper gives an overview of the design and structure of the verifier,
reviews its theoretical foundation, and gives an overview of significant
practical applications
