Abstract. This paper explores theories that help in (i) proving that a system composed from components satisfies a system specification given only specifications of components and ...
: Since the era of vector and pipelined computing, the computational speed is limited by the memory access time. Faster caches and more cache levels are used to bridge the growing ...
The synchronous model of computation divides the execution of a program into an infinite sequence of socalled macro steps, which are further divided into finitely many micro steps....
Concurrent Action-Oriented Specifications (CAOS) model the behavior of a synchronous hardware circuit as asynchronous guarded at an abstraction level higher than the Register Tran...
During the past few years, embedded digital systems have been requested to provide a huge amount of processing power and functionality. A very likely foreseeable step to pursue th...
