Abstract

The unfolding method, initially introduced for systems modelled by Petri nets, is applied to synchronous products of transition systems, a model introduced by Arnold [2]. An unfolding procedure is provided which exploits the product structure of the model. Its performance is evaluated on a set of benchmarks.
