Safety and reliability have moved to the top of the list of critical criteria in software development. There are many ways to achieve improved safety and reliability, and one of the best is to employ ...

Formal methods constitute a suite of mathematically based techniques that are employed to specify, develop, and verify software systems with a high degree of rigour. These techniques aim to transform ...

Formal methods provide a rigorous mathematical foundation for the specification, development and verification of medical device software. This approach enhances both reliability and safety, which are ...

It’s no secret that hardware is the new currency in the chip world. It’s no longer the case that the semiconductor industry is in the hands of traditional semiconductor giants; an increasing number of ...

The EDA industry has a message for researchers in formal methods: There’s a right way and a wrong way, and if you don’t pick the right method, formal can be hard to crack. Pranav Ashar, CTO of Real ...

Host Kevin Greene and guest Paul Black, computer scientist at National Institute of Standards and Technology, discuss the potential impact of Underwriters Laboratories, or UL, certification and ...

Officials at the Defense Advanced Research Programs Agency have begun nudging Defense Department managers to utilize idling DARPA cybersecurity tools meant to preempt hacks and accidents in critical ...

With 68% of the ASICs going through respins and 83% of the FPGA designs failing the first time around, verification poses interesting challenges. It’s also not a secret that nearly 60-70% of the cost ...

How formal verification is able to find bugs before signoff. Formal verification’s ability to mathematically prove exhaustively that a chip design meets a set of assertions. Formal techniques are ...
