Sliced Model Checking for Phylogenetic Analysis

Model checking provides a powerful and flexible formal framework to state and verify biological properties on phylogenies. However, current model checking techniques fail to scale up the big amount of biological information relevant to each state of the system. This fact motivates the development of novel cooperative algorithms and slicing techniques that distribute not the graph structure of a phylogenetic system but the state information contained in its nodes.
