Abstract

A model automaton is simulated by a specification automaton if every externally observable transition by the model can also be matched by the specification. In this work, we establish a new formulation of simulation from a model TA to a specification TA. The new formulation allows us to develop a simulation-checking algorithm, in greatest fixpoint style, with zones. We also present a technique to construct an under-approximation of the set of state-pairs to be removed in a fixpoint iteration. The technique does not sacrifice the exactness of our algorithm and could enhance the performance of simulation-checking. Finally, we report the performance of an implementation of our algorithms.
