Query: Counter Simulations via Higher Order Quantifier Elimination: a
  preliminary report   Quite often, verification tasks for distributed systems are accomplished via
counter abstractions. Such abstractions can sometimes be justified via
simulations and bisimulations. In this work, we supply logical foundations to
this practice, by a specifically designed technique for second order quantifier
elimination. Our method, once applied to specifications of verification
problems for parameterized distributed systems, produces integer variables
systems that are ready to be model-checked by current SMT-based tools. We
demonstrate the feasibility of the approach with a prototype implementation and
first experiments.
