Abstract
Methods, systems and software products are provided to enhance the scalability of dependent state analysis element identification. In a method of partitioning a model representing a state machine, a variable is selected from the variables of the model, and a first set of variables are identified that support the selected variable. Then a second set of variables is identified that have overlapping support of the first set of variables. The second set of variables is a partition suitable for use in determining an overapproximation of the reachable states of the selected variable.
