Model Sketching by Abstraction Refinement for Lifted Model Checking (Extended Version)

Abstract

In this work, we show how the use of verification and analysis techniques for model families (software product lines) with numerical features provides an interesting technique to synthesize complete models from sketches (i.e. partial models with holes). In particular, we present an approach for synthesizing P model sketches using variability-specific abstraction refinement for lifted (familybased) model checking.
