Model checking is a method for the veri cation of systems with respect to their speci cations. Symbolic model-checking, which enables the veri cation of large systems, proceeds by calculating xed-point expressions over the system's set of states. The -calculus is a branching-time temporal logic with xed-point operators. As such, it is a convenient logic for symbolic modelchecking tools. In part...
