%X This paper presents an analysis\-method of concurrent
processes with
value\-passing which may cause
infinite\-state systems. The method
consists of two steps:
sequentialisation and state\-reduction. In
the
sequentialisation, the symbolic transition graph of a
given concurrent
process is derived by symbolic operational
semantics. In the
state\-reduction, the number of states in
the symbolic transition graph
is reduced by removing
needless internal transitions. Furthermore, this
paper
introduces an analysis\-tool called CONPASU, which
implements the
analysis\-method, and demonstrates how
CONPASU can be used for
automatically analyzing concurrent
processes. For example, it can
extract abstract behaviors,
which are useful for understanding complex
behaviors, by
focusing on some interesting events.
