Efficient Computation and Representation of Large Reachability Sets for Composed Automata

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science ((SECS,volume 569))

Abstract

We propose a compositional approach to handle complex and large systems described as a network of synchronized components. The approach combines and extends known techniques including Kronecker representations, bisimulation equivalences and decision diagrams in order to explore and represent extremely large state spaces.
