Abstract
Action systems provide a formal approach to modelling parallel and reactive systems They have a well established theory of refinement supported by simulationbased proof rules This paper introduces an automatic approach for verifying action system refinements utilising standard CTL model checking To do this we encode each of the simulation conditions as a simulation machine a Kripke structure on which the proof obligation can be discharged by checking that an associated CTL property holds This procedure transforms each simulation condition into a model checking problem Each simulation condition can then be model checked in isolation or if desired together with the other simulation conditions by combining the simulation machines and the CTL properties
