Add to ORKGFormal methods, in particular model checking, are increasingly accepted as integral part of system development. With large software systems beyond the range of fully automatic verification, however, a combination of decomposition and abstraction techniques is needed. To model check components of a system, a standard approach is to close the component with an abstraction of its environment, as standard model checkers often do not handle open reactive systems directly. To make it useful in practice, the closing of the component should be automatic, both for data and for control abstraction. Specifically for model checking asynchronous open systems, external input queues should be removed, as they are a potential source of a combinatorial stat...
