            Abstract : 
We show that the existence of a solution procedure for certain infinite-state systems implies that it is computationally beneficial to model certain large, finite-state systems as infinite-state systems and use the procedures developed to handle infinite-state systems in place of those developed to handle finite-state systems. We illustrate this approach using examples of forbidden-state and forbidden-string problems
