Publisher's Synopsis
The papers in this volume address the role of mechanized theorem proving technology in the design of digital systems. The primary focus is on the practical application of theorem provers to digital design, rather than on theoretical foundations. The diverse contributions include invited papers by the leading researchers Gordon and Hunt as well as technical contributions by many other prominent researchers in the field of machine-assisted hardware verification. This side of the Proceedings reflects current research activity and the section containing tutorial papers on several influential theorem provers serves as an introduction to this exciting field.
