Abstract

We use a declarative SMT-based approach to model-checking of infinite state systems to design a procedure for automatically estab- lishing the termination of backward reachability by using well-quasi-orderings. Besides showing that our procedure succeeds in many in-stances of problems covered by general termination results, we argue that it could predict termination also on single problems outside the scope of applicability of such general results.
