Abstract. We propose a compositional technique for efficient verification of networks of parallel processes. It is based on an automatic analysis of LTSs of individual processes (using a failure-based equivalence which preserves divergences) that determines their sets of conflict-free actions, called untangled actions. Untangled actions are compositional, i.e. synchronisation on untangled actions will not destroy their conflict-freedom. For networks of processes, using global untangled actions derived from local ones, efficient reduction algorithms can be devised for systems with a large number of small processes running in parallel.
