We have extended the ACL2 theorem prover to automatically prove properties of VHDL circuits with IBM's Internal SixthSense verification system. We have used this extension to...
We propose an interface specification language based on grammars for modular software model checking. In our interface specification language, component interfaces are specified a...
Ensuring the correctness of computer systems used in lifecritical applications is very difficult. The most commonly used verification methods, simulation and testing, are not exha...
Ever-growing complexity is forcing design to move above RTL. For example, golden functional models are being written as clearly as possible in software and not optimized or intend...
Stepwise refinement is at the core of many approaches to synthesis and optimization of hardware and software systems. For instance, it can be used to build a synthesis approach for...
