We propose the use of tree automata as abstractions in the verification of branching time properties, and show several benefits. In this setting, soundness and completeness are trivial. It unifies the abundance of frameworks in the literature, and clarifies the role of concepts therein in terms of the well-studied field of automata theory. Moreover, using automata as models simplifies and generalizes results on maximal model theorems. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
