As conventional simulation-based testing has increasingly struggled to cope with design complexity, strategies centered around formal verification have quietly evolved In this article, I review the ...

The field of model checking has evolved into a fundamental technique for verifying the correctness of software and hardware systems. At its core, model checking systematically explores the state space ...

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are the backbone of modern industrial automation, orchestrating critical operations across diverse sectors. As these controllers become increasingly complex, ...

Formal verification is an automatic checking methodology that catches many common design errors and can uncover ambiguities in the design. Formal verification is the process of verifying the ...

This course introduces the basic concepts of functional verification and model checking, highlighting their importance in modern system designs. It explains different modeling formalisms for ...

Many electronic design automation (EDA) solutions have evolved, which is not a bad thing. Evolution attempts to preserve the tools that are already in place—investments made by designers in languages, ...

What is Model checking? Model checking has proven to be a successful technology to verify requirements and design for a variety of real-time embedded and safety-critical systems. Here’s how it works.

Model checking is one of the most successful computer science achievements in the last few decades. This is why Edmund M. Clarke, E. Allen Emerson, and Joseph Sifakis were honored with the 2007 A.M.

In recent years, many longstanding assumptions about formal verification have been rendered obsolete by ever-improving technology. Applications such as connectivity checking have shown that formal can ...
