Support for system speci cation in terms of modelling and simulation environments has become a common practice in safety-critical applications. Also, a current trend is the automat...
We describe the verification of the IM: a large, complex (12,000 gates and 1100 latches) circuit that detects and marks the boundaries between Intel architecture (IA-32) instructi...

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...
The verification of safety critical systems has become an area of increasing importance in computer science. The notion of reactive system has emerged to concentrate on problems r...
Attempts to use finite models to guide the search for proofs by resolution and the like in first order logic all suffer from the need to trade off the expense of generating and m...
