This paper explores defects found in a high volume microprocessor when shipping at a low defect level. A brief description of the manufacturing flow along with definition of DPM i...
A controversial issue in the formal methods community is the degree to which mathematical sophistication and theorem proving skills should be needed to apply a formal method. A fun...
We present a compositional semantics of synchronous systems that captures both safety and progress properties of such systems. The fair synchronous transitions systems (fsts) mode...
