Abstract

Refinement based formal methods allow the modelling of systems through incremental steps via abstraction. Discovering the right levels of abstraction, formulating correct and meaningful invariants, and analysing faulty models are some of the challenges faced when using this technique. We propose Design Space Exploration that aims to assist a designer by automatically providing high-level modelling guidance.
