Formal Hardware Verification: Methods and Systems in Comparison

This state—of—the—art monograph presents a coherent survey of a variety of methods and systems for formal hardware verification. It emphasizes the presentation of approaches that have matured into tools and systems usable for the actual verification of nontrivial circuits. All in all, the book is a representative and well—structured survey on the success and future potential of formal methods in proving the correctness of circuits. The various chapters describe the respective approaches sup...
