Abstraction Refinement for Large Scale Model Checking (2006)Hardcover - 2006, 20 July 2006

The techniques proposed in this book are fully automatic and are crucial at improving the performance of abstraction refinement. Their application to model checking can significantly increase the model checker's ability to handle large designs. Our experimental studies on some real-world benchmark circuits indicate that these automatic abstraction refinement techniques are the key to applying model checking to industrial-scale systems.
