Abstract

A formal method of synthesising a converter that translates signals between two heterogeneous, off-the-shelf protocol IPs is presented in the form of a case study. At the heart of the method is a model checker that guarantees the converter satisfies correctness conditions, as well as user-defined properties. In this approach, the issue of nondeterminism is explicitly addressed, and is used to synthesise an optimal converter.
