Abstract:A method for constructing abstractions to improve the efficiency of checking formal models is described. The state equivalence relation is weakened by ignoring insignificant attribute values. Some examples of experimental results illustrate the decrease in the verification complexity from exponential to polynomial.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
