Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The biannual Formal Methods in Computer Aided Design conference (FMCAD 2000)is the third in a series of conferences under that title devoted to the use of discrete mathematical methods for the analysis of computer hardware and so- ware. The work reported in this book describes the use of modeling languages and their associated automated analysis tools to specify and verify computing systems. Functional veric ation has become one of the principal costs in a modern computer design e ort. In addition,verica tion of circuit models, timing,power, etc., requires even more eo rt. FMCAD provides a venue for academic and - dustrial researchers and practitioners to share their ideas and experiences of using discrete mathematical modeling and veric ation. It is noted with interest by the conference chairmen how this area has grown from just a few people 15 years ago to a vibrant area of research, development, and deployment. It is clear that these methods are helping reduce the cost of designing computing systems. As an example of this potential cost reduction, we have invited David Russino of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. to describe his veric ation of oating-point - gorithms being used in AMD microprocessors. The program includes 30 regular presentations selected from 63 submitted papers.

Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design, FMCAD 2000, held in Austin, Texas in November 2000. The 30 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 63 submissions. All current issues of research and development approaches based on formal methods for the design and analysis of systems are addressed. Among the topics covered are formal verification, formal specification, systems analysis, program analysis, model checking, automated modeling, program semantics, theorem proving, symbolic simulation, and transition systems.
