We have conducted preliminary experiments to tests and compare the performance of our strategy with existing abstraction-refinement technique available in VIS. As our abstraction representation requires fairness constraints, we have chosen the \emph{incremental\_ctl\_verification} abstraction refinement technique as it supports CTL formulas and fairness constraints \cite{PardoHachtel98incremCTLMC} \cite{PardoHachtel97autoAbsMC}. 


We have executed and compared the execution time and the number of refinement iterations for two examples: VCI-PI platform consisting of Virtual Component Interface (VCI), a PI-Bus and VCI-PI protocol converter and a simplified version of a CAN bus platform consisting of 3 nodes and a CAN bus. The results have been obtained on a PC with an AMD Athlon dual-core processor 4450e and 1.8GB of RAM memory.
