The safety of infinite state systems can be checked by a backward reachability procedure. For certain classes of systems, it is possible to prove the termination of the procedure ...
Formal approaches to HW and system design have not been generally adopted, because designers often view the modelling concepts in these approaches as unsuitable for their problems...
In some cases, minimum Sum-Of-Products (SOP) expressions of Boolean functions can be derived by detecting decomposition and observing the functional properties such as unateness, ...
Functional debugging often dominates the time and cost of the ASIC system development, mainly due to the limited controllability and observability of the storage elements in desig...
Abstract. Quantified Boolean formulae (QBF) allow compact encoding of many decision problems. Their importance motivated the development of fast QBF solvers. Certifying the result...
