  • Patent number: 8615385
    Abstract: An embodiment includes a computer-readable media storing instructions that when executed on processing logic execute a process for reducing complexity. The media stores instructions for identifying data dependencies in a model having executable semantics, the data dependencies affecting verification of the model and for selecting a location in the model, the location having data dependencies with other locations in the model, the location to be verified when the model is verified. The media also stores instructions for detecting complexities in the model, the complexities related to the selected location and presenting information about a source for at least one of the complexities. The media further stores instructions for eliminating the source for the at least one of the complexities and for transforming the model into an updated model based on the eliminating, the updated model not including the source for the at least one of the complexities.

  • Publication number: 20110295578
    Abstract: A system and method generates contextual information for a source model. An identification of one or more first model elements of interest within the source model may be received. One or more constraints on inputs of selected model elements also may be received. A scope of analysis regarding outputs of the first model elements may be specified. The contextual information may be derived automatically for the one or more first model elements. The contextual information may include one or more model elements, signals, or states that are contained with the scope of analysis while execution of the source model is limited by the one or more constraints. The derived contextual information may be provided to an output device.
