X Abstract

The overall research goal in Gurkh is to build a framework for design, verification and execution of safety critical applications. The framework consists of both software tools for application verification and hardware platforms for execution and real-time monitoring. This paper discusses within the context of the Gurkh project, the development of a tool to translate safety critical VHDL code into a formal representation. Different formal techniques can then be applied on this representation in order to verify properties such as liveness and deadlock and to validate that the timing constraints of the original system hold. This paper will discuss three aspects of the tool implementation: transformation of source code into an intermediate representation, verification of real-time properties, and some tool-related implementation issues.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
