'''Symbolic simulation''' is a form of simulation where many possible executions of a system are considered simultaneously. This is typically achieved by augmenting the ___domain over which the simulation takes place. A symbolic [[Variable (programming)|variable]] can be used in the simulation state representation in order to index multiple executions of the system. For each possible valuation of these variables, there is a concrete system state that is being indirectly simulated.
 
Because symbolic simulation can cover many system executions in a single simulation, it can greatly reduce the size of verification problems. Techniques such as [[Symbolic Trajectory Evaluation|Symbolic Trajectory Evaluation (STE)]] and [[Generalized Symbolic Trajectory Evaluation (GSTE)]] are based on this idea of symbolic simulation.
