// TODO: Fix for Groovy's model-checking
// TODO: This is a setter to change the values of the ChoiceGenerator to implement POR
/**
 * Simple tool to log state changes.
 *
 * This DPOR implementation is augmented by the algorithm presented in this SPIN paper:
 * http://spinroot.com/spin/symposia/ws08/spin2008_submission_33.pdf
 *
 * The algorithm is presented on page 11 of the paper. Basically, we have a graph G
 * (i.e., visible operation dependency graph).
 * This DPOR implementation actually fixes the algorithm in the SPIN paper that does not
 * consider cases where a state could be matched early. In this new algorithm/implementation,
 * each run is terminated iff:
 * - we find a state that matches a state in a previous run, or
 * - we have a matched state in the current run that consists of cycles that contain all choices/events.
