On simulation-based probabilistic model checking of mixed-analog circuits
In this paper, we consider verifying properties of mixed-signal circuits, i.e., circuits for which there is an interaction between analog (continuous) and digital (discrete) values...

A Practical Approach to Coverage in Model Checking
In formal verification, we verify that a system is correct with respect to a specification. When verification succeeds and the system is proven to be correct, there is still a q...

Using Symbolic Simulation for Bounded Property Checking
Assuring correctness of digital designs is one of the major tasks in the system design flow. Formal methods have been proposed to accompany commonly used simulation approaches. I...

A Study of Architecture Description Languages from a Model-based Perspective
Abstract— Owing to the recent trend of using applicationspecific instruction-set processors (ASIP), many Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) have been created. They specif...
