Abstract
Symbolic transition systems can be used to represent infinite state systems in a finite manner. The modal logic FULL, defined over symbolic transition systems, allows properties over infinite state to be expressed, establishing necessary constraints on data. We present here a theory and tactics for FULL, developed using Ergo, a generalised sequent calculus style theorem prover allowing interactive proofs. This allows exploitation of the underlying symbolic transition system and reasoning about symbolic values.
