Abstract
Extended finite state machines are an important feature of modern comp uters. Their verification, unlike sequential system testing, is very c omplex and has received little attention in literature. This paper sug gests a model based on a symbolic representation to describe the tempo ral behavior of sequential machines. Two examples of different archite ctures illustrate the application of the methodology.
