Abstract

The state space explosion is still one of the most challenging problems in formal verification using enumerative techniques. The challenge is even greater for real time systems whose state spaces are generally infinite due to time density. To use enumerative techniques with these systems, their state spaces need to be contracted into finite structures that preserve properties of interest. We propose in this paper an efficient approach to construct a contraction of the time Petri net model state space, which preserves its CTL* properties.
