Correct-by-Construction Approaches for SoC Design

The methodologies presented in this book enable designers to reuse intellectual property (IP) blocks from existing designs in an efficient, reliable manner, automatically generating correct Systems-on-Chips from multiple, possibly mismatching, components.

This book describes an approach for designing Systems-on-Chip such that the system meets precise mathematical requirements. The methodologies presented enable embedded systems designers to reuse intellectual property (IP) blocks from existing designs in an efficient, reliable manner, automatically generating correct SoCs from multiple, possibly mismatching, components.

Provides a single-source reference to correct-by-construction SoC design Focuses on system-level verification Enables optimized design cycles, with techniques to reuse IP blocks reliably Uses realistic SoC case studies to highlight the concepts introduced Demonstrates techniques using industrial standard SoC frameworks such as ARM AMBA Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
