Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are the backbone of modern industrial automation, orchestrating critical operations across diverse sectors. As these controllers become increasingly complex, ...

Automata learning and formal verification represent converging fields aimed at enhancing the reliability and safety of complex systems. Automata learning involves the algorithmic inference of system ...

Methodology is the key in using formal property checking in a scalable way that guarantees a higher return on investment The present-day use of formal methods in industry owes a lot to the founding ...

In recent years, many longstanding assumptions about formal verification have been rendered obsolete by ever-improving technology. Applications such as connectivity checking have shown that formal can ...

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 ...

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 ...

More processors on SoCs means more sophisticated cache control. This article describes formal techniques for verifying cache coherency for the ARM AMBA AXI Coherency Extensions (ACE) protocol. Fig 1.

There aren’t many electronic applications that require correctness, safety, and security more than automobiles and other road vehicles. Owners rely on their cars operating properly and reliably at all ...

In August 2023, the EEOC reached its first AI-bias settlement: $365,000 paid over a hiring algorithm that automatically rejected older applicants. Meanwhile, Europe’s new AI Act threatens fines of up ...
