In view of the growing complexity of modern software architectures, formal models are
increasingly used to understand why a system works the way it does, opposed to simply …

Modern circuits may contain up to several hundred million transistors. In the meantime it has
been observed that verification becomes the major bottleneck in design flows, ie up to 80 …

In black-box testing, one is interested in creating a suite of tests from requirements that
adequately exercise the behavior of a software system without regard to the internal …

Advancement of AI-enhanced control in autonomous systems stands on the shoulders of
formal methods, which make possible the rigorous safety analysis autonomous systems …

We present GoldMine, a methodology for generating assertions automatically in hardware.
Our method involves a combination of data mining and static analysis of the register transfer …

Even when a system is proven to be correct with respect to a specification, there is still a
question of how complete the specification is, and whether it really covers all the behaviors …

Hardware verification is the process of checking whether a design conforms to its
specification of functionality. In today's design processes it becomes more and more …

In formal verification, we verify that a system is correct with respect to a specification. Even
when the system is proven to be correct, there is still a question of how complete the …

There is an increased use of software in safety-critical systems; a trend that is likely to
continue in the future. Although traditional system safety techniques are applicable to …

One of the advantages of temporal-logic model-checking tools is their ability to accompany a
negative answer to the correctness query by a counterexample to the satisfaction of the …
