Incompatibility of component interaction styles is identified as a major obstacle to interoperability when using off-the-shelf components or dealing with legacy software in compos...
Given deterministic interfaces P and Q, we investigate the problem of synthesising an interface R such that P composed with R refines Q. We show that a solution exists iff P and Q ...
Reuse of IP blocks has been advocated as a means to conquer the complexity of today's system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Component integration and verification in such systems is ...
In the field of chip design, hardware module reuse is a standard solution to the increasing complexity of chip architecture and the pressures to reduce time to market. In the abs...
