    Abstract

    A state/event model is a concurrent version of Mealy machines used for describing embedded reactive systems. This paper introduces a technique that uses \emph{compositionality} and \emph{dependency analysis} to significantly improve the efficiency of symbolic model checking of state/event models. This technique makes possible automated verification of large industrial designs with the use of only modest resources (less than one hour on a standard PC for a model with 1421 concurrent machines). The results of the paper are being implemented in the next version of the commercial tool \visualstate.
