Abstract: We present an algorithm that constructs a finite state "abstract
" program from a given, possibly infinite state, "concrete" program
by means of a syntactic program transformation. Starting with an initial
set of predicates from a specification, the algorithm iteratively computes
the predicates required for the abstraction relative to that specification.
These predicates are represented by boolean variables in the abstract
program. We show that the method is sound, in that the abstract... (Update)
