Abstract :
Symbolic representations of systems can achieve a high degree of compaction relative to more explicit forms. By casting and analysis task in terms of operations on a symbolic representation, large and complex systems can be analyzed efficiently. This paper summarizes research in applying symbolic analysis methods to systems at several levels of abstraction
