Abstract
ion We have been developing an automated abstraction tool, which converts a Java program to an abstract program with respect to user-specified abstraction criteria. The user can specify abstractions by removing variables in the concrete program and/or adding new variables (currently the tool supports adding boolean types only) to the abstract program. Specifically, the user selects variables that must be removed and adds abstract variables that represent the predicates in which these variables occurred (typically the predicates are selected from conditions in if and while statements). Given a Java program and such abstraction criteria, the tool generates an abstract Java program in terms of the new abstract variables and unremoved concrete variables. To compute the conversion automatically, JPF uses a decision procedure, SVC (Stanford Validity Checker), which checks the validity of logical expressions [1]. The abstraction tool is designed for object-oriented programs. The user can sp...
