In this paper we describe a hardware design method for memory and register arrays that allows the application of formal equivalence checking for comparing a high-level register tr...
Structuring of information proceeds through the foregrounding of certain parts of the information. In general, foregrounding can be realized on various linguistic levels and it is...
As the interest in using policy-based approaches for systems management grows, it is becoming increasingly important to develop methods for performing analysis and refinement of p...
