Abstract

The development of new application domains in the telecom market, such as mobile telephony or multimedia services, has led to a substantial increase in the average complexity of single devices. This complexity makes the definition and verification of the interoperability of different modules in a system a very error prone task. Formal verification techniques are becoming more and more attractive as part of the verification methodology, in conjunction to simulation, to guarantee the complete correctness of complex devices. Several examples of applications in industrial environments of these techniques [7,6,1] show that they have reached an acceptable level of maturity. Still, problems of complexity handling imposed by today’s model checking technology [8] limit for the moment a wider diffusion.
