Formal methods and verification

K. McEvoy, John Vivian Tucker

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This part describes three different approaches to the use of formal methods in the verification and design of systems and circuits. Chapter 2 describes the stages involved in the verification of a counter using a mechanized theorem prover. The next chapter describes a mathematical model of synchronous computation within which formal transformations which are useful in the design process can be defined. Chapter 4 describes verification in a different framework – that of the algebra of communicating processes.
