Presenting a survey of a variety of methods and systems for formal hardware verification, this work emphasizes the presentation of approaches that have matured into tools and systems usable for the actual verification of nontrivial circuits. It describes the approaches supplying the theoretical foundations as well as taking into account the application viewpoint. By applying all methods and systems presented to the same set of IFIP WG10.5 hardware verification examples, the book aims to provide a fair analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches given.
