Symbolic model checking has proved highly successful for large nite-state systems, in which states can be compactly encoded using binary decision diagrams (BDDs) or their variants...
SystemC is widely used for modeling and simulation in hardware/software co-design. Due to the lack of a complete formal semantics, it is not possible to verify SystemC designs. In...
This paper presents a local algorithm for solving the universal parametric real-time model-checking problem. The problem may be phrased as follows: given a real-time system and te...
The ongoing scaling of semiconductor technology is causing severe increase of on-chip power density and temperature in microprocessors. This has raised urgent requirement for both...
A logic model checker can be an effective tool for debugging software applications. A stumbling block can be that model checking tools expect the user to supply a formal statement...
