Assertion-based verification (ABV) is emerging as a paramount technique for industrial-
strength hardware verification, especially through the emerging property specification …

Faced with the steadily increasing complexity and rapidly shortening timeto-market
requirements designing electronic systems is a very challenging task. To manage this …

Formal behavioral specifications written early in the system-design process and
communicated across all design phases have been shown to increase the efficiency …

Advances in FPGA-based reconfigurable computers have made them a viable computing
platform for a vast variety of computation demanding areas such as bioinformatics, speech …

Functional verification is a major challenge in the hardware design development cycle.
