Abstract

Synthesis and verification of systems are considered with respect to the specific trinity of abstraction-levels. At the highest level - specifications expressed as formulas based on Second Order Monadic Logic (SOML). At the intermediate level - formalization of transducers (i.e. transformers of input signals into output signals) via finite sequential automata. At the lower level - formalization of discrete synchronous hardware via logical nets. The lecture tackles the question: how and to what extent did The Trinity anticipate and promote developments in Logic and Computer Science?
