Abstract

State explosion problem is a major huddle in model checking area. The model described in the temporal model checking is mainly control flow model. The fFSM is a model for describing the control flow aspects in PeaCE(Ptolemy extension as a Codesign Environment), which is a hardware/ software codesign environment to support complex embedded systems. fFSM, like a Statecharts, supports concurrency, hierarchy and global variables. But due to lack of their formality, we defined step semantics for this model and developed its verification tool in the previous work. In this paper, we present the model reduction technique based on dependency analysis to avoid the state explosion problem. As a result, the model, which couldn't be verified before applying the technique, is verified.
