Abstract

The "formal verification method: Getting around the Brick Wall" panel at the 2002Design Automation Conference highlighted the industrial emergence of assertion-based verification and the need to go beyond current methods. Moderator David Dill initiated a discussion on the three brick walls to formal verifcation methods: handling high computational complexity, formulating properties to check, and characterizing the set of legal inputs to the design underverification. The panelists addressed moving to higher abstraction levels and assertion-based.verification as two strategies to solve these problems.
