Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is recognized that formal design and verification methods are an important requirement for the attainment of high quality system designs. The field has evolved enormously during the last few years, resulting in the fact that formal design and verification methods are nowadays supported by several tools, both commercial and academic. If different tools and users are to generate and read the same language then it is necessary that the same semantics is assigned by them to all constructs and elements of the language. The current IEEE standard VHDL language reference manual (LRM) tries to define VHDL as well as possible in a descriptive way, explaining the semantics in English. But rigor and clarity are very hard to maintain in a semantics defined in this way, and that has already given rise to many misconceptions and contradictory interpretations. Formal Semantics for VHDL is the first book that puts forward a cohesive set of semantics for the VHDL language. The chapters describe several semantics each based on a different underlying formalism: two of them use Petri nets as target language, and two of them higher order logic. Two use functional concepts, and finally another uses the concept of evolving algebras. Formal Semantics for VHDL is essential reading for researchers in formal methods and can be used as a text for an advanced course on the subject.

Book excerpt: Written expressly for hardware designers, this book presents a formal model of VHDL clearly specifying both the static and dynamic semantics of VHDL. It provides a mathematical framework for representing VHDL constructs and shows how those constructs can be formally manipulated to reason about VHDL.

Book excerpt: In the first part of the report, we give a detailed description of an operational semantics for a large subset of VHDL, the VHSIC Hardware Description Language. The semantics is written in the functional language Caliban, similar to Haskell, used by the theorem prover Clio. We also describe a translator from VHDL into Caliban semantics and give some examples of its use. In the second part of the report, we describe our experience in using the VHDL semantics to try to verify a large VHDL design. We were not able to complete the verification due to certain complexities of VHDL which we discuss. We propose a VHDL verification method that addresses the problems we encountered but which builds on the operational semantics described in the first part of the report.

Yet current practice has to change to cope with decreasing design times and increasing quality requirements. This research report presents results from the Esprit project FORMAT (formal methods in hardware verification) which involved the collaboration of the enterprises Siemens, Italtel, Telefonica I+D, TGI, and AHL, the research institute OFFIS, and the universities of Madrid and Passau. The work presented involves advanced specification languages for hardware design that are intuitive to the designer, like timing diagrams and state based languages, as well as their relation to VHDL and formal languages like temporal logic and a process-algebraic calculus. The results of experimental tests of the tools are also presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With our ever-increasing reliance on computer technology in every field of modern life, the need for continuously evolving and improving cyber security remains a constant imperative. This book presents the 3 keynote speeches and 10 papers delivered at the 2nd Singapore Cyber Security R&D Conference (SG-CRC 2017), held in Singapore, on 21-22 February 2017. SG-CRC 2017 focuses on the latest research into the techniques and methodologies of cyber security. The goal is to construct systems which are resistant to cyber-attack, enabling the construction of safe execution environments and improving the security of both hardware and software by means of mathematical tools and engineering approaches for the design, verification and monitoring of cyber-physical systems. Covering subjects which range from messaging in the public cloud and the use of scholarly digital libraries as a platform for malware distribution, to low-dimensional bigram analysis for mobile data fragment classification, this book will be of interest to all those whose business it is to improve cyber security.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few decades Computer Hardware Description Languages (CHDLs) have been a rapidly expanding subject area due to a number of factors, including the advancing complexity of digital electronics, the increasing prevalence of generic and programmable components of software-hardware and the migration of VLSI design to high level synthesis based on HDLs. Currently the subject has reached the consolidation phase in which languages and standards are being increasingly used, at the same time as the scope is being broadened to additional application areas. This book presents the latest developments in this area and provides a forum from which readers can learn from the past and look forward to what the future holds.
