An alternative for achieving that is using data abstraction to derive a simpler (abstract) but finite model so that the properties can be verified using the abstract model instead. This work proposes a strategy and an algorithm for generating abstractions of systems modeled in the process algebra CSP. These abstractions are safe in the sense that they preserve trace-based refinements. We show the application of our strategy to an example. rv:
