顺应SoC的发展趋势,Accellera标准组织提议了一个统一设计语言SystemVerilog。本文主要讨论了SystemVerilog的特点、设计优势、现状和未来趋势等,并给出了一些实例。SystemVerilog是C、C 、Superlog和Verilog的混合,它极大地扩展了抽象结构层次的设计建模和验证的能力,是SoC设计的最佳统一语言。     

Modular verification of Ada generics

This paper develops modular verification rules for Ada generics which are proven to be sound and complete. The generic mechanism in Ada allows modules to be parameterized by types, procedures and functions. The modularity property allows a generic to be verified once, and then exported to other modules which assume that it is correct. This requires the generic to have a specification which is used in verifying other modules, but its implementation cannot be used for this purpose. Thus, modular verification cannot be based on removing generics by macro expansion which requires the use of the generic's implementation. The main difficulty with specifying and verifying a generic is that the specification language may need to be extended with a new theory for specifying and reasoning about properties of objects whose type is a parameter to the generic. Such theories must be part of the specification of the generic, and this raises the possibility that the extended specification language may not be expressive, even if it was before the extension. The use of strings in our specification language prevents this from happening, which is proven in the paper; this is a major step toward establishing the completeness of our rules. Modularity also had a large impact on our semantics for programming constructs which is quite different from the usual semantics in the literature, even though it is still based the denotational semantics of Scott and Strachey. The main reason for this is that we had to modify the standard definition of validity. Modularity requires that validity depend on certain internal assertions in a program, such as the precondition of a procedure invoked in the program.

Guideline on the assessment of timber structures: Summary

The domain “assessment of existing timber structures” has experienced increased interest and gained application in practice over the past years. The objective of the guideline which is summarized in this short communication is to provide the reader with a collection of applicable assessment methods which have been evaluated by a group of experts against keywords like applicability, expenditure of time/cost, validity of results and possible constraints. Since each method only allows the assessment of certain types of material properties, damages or degradation processes, it becomes necessary to combine different methods in order to derive a full picture of the residual performance of the structure. Against this background, common approaches towards the assessment of timber structures are given.The results received from an assessment should be incorporated into analytical models. Different approaches towards the modelling and updating of existing structures are presented, including deterministic, semi-probabilistic as well as probabilistic verification methods.The guideline concludes with a discussion on the present state of the art for the assessment of timber structures. Potential objectives towards an optimization of the methods with respect to a simplified application are defined and necessary developments that finally enable more consistent estimations of the reliability of existing timber structures are highlighted.

Abstraction and resolution modulo AC: How to verify Diffie–Hellman-like protocols automatically

We show how cryptographic protocols using Diffie–Hellman primitives, i.e., modular exponentiation on a fixed generator, can be encoded in Horn clauses modulo associativity and commutativity. In order to obtain a sufficient criterion of security, we design a complete (but not sound in general) resolution procedure for a class of flattened clauses modulo simple equational theories, including associativity–commutativity. We report on a practical implementation of this algorithm in the MOP modular platform for automated proving; in particular, we obtain the first fully automated proof of security of the IKA.1 initial key agreement protocol in the so-called pure eavesdropper model.     

From decision tables to expert system shells

Building and maintaining high quality knowledge based systems is not a trivial task. Decision tables have sometimes been recommended in this process, mainly in verification and validation. In this paper, however, it is shown how decision tables can also be used to generate, and not just to validate, knowledge bases and how the transformation process from decision tables to knowledge bases can be organized. Several options to generate rules or other knowledge representation from decision tables are described and evauluated.

The proposed generation strategy enables the knowledge engineer to concentrate on the acquisition and modelling issues and allows him to isolate the knowledge body from its implementation. The generation process has been implemented for two commercial tools, AionDS and KBMS and has been applied to real world applications.     

验证重用中的监视器设计

现代集成电路设计面临着一个困境，一方面是电路设计规模和复杂度的日益增加，另一方面则又面临着来自面市时间的巨大压力。在中等或大规模设计中验证工作往往占总开发工作量的70％以上，缩短验证时间可以有效提高设计的效率。采用基于事务的监视器搭建模块化验证平台，是实现缩短验证时间的有效手段。文中讨论了基于事务的监视器的基本工作原理和设计方法，并介绍了一个具体实例——总线监视器的设计。     

Timed Concurrent Constraint Programming for Analysing Biological Systems

In this paper we present our first approach to model and verify biological systems using ntcc, a concurrent constraint process calculus. We argue that the partial information constructs in ntcc can provide a suitable language for such systems. We also illustrate how ntcc may provide a unified framework for the analysis of biological systems, as they can be described, simulated and verified using the elements provided by the calculus.
