This (purported) distinction is largely based on the languages used: artificial notations vs. ‘ordinary’ language. Now, is there a principled, clear-cut division between symbolic and non-symbolic logic? Obviously, it all depends on one’s definition of symbol. I propose to examine the consequences ...

Symbolic Model Checking extends the scope of veriication algorithms that can be handled automatically, by using symbolic representations rather than explicitly searching the entire state space of the model. However even the most sophisticated symbolic methods cannot be directly applied to many of today's large designs because of the state explosion problem. Approximate symbolic model checking i...
