Summary on Grant Application Form
We aim to develop an integrated and practical approach for the compositional specification, design and analysis of mixed hardware/software systems. The project starts with an unified theory to ensure complete consistency between different stages in the project and different parts of the product. The theory incorporates features of CSP and ITL and promises to cross all the boundaries involved: continuous/discrete, hardware/software, simulation/verification, events/states, abstraction/execution, specification/implementation. The project will test the theory by application to commercially available design notations (Verilog and VHDL) and to critical parts of an industrial product, a self-validating sensor. Keywords describing areas of proposal.Computing, Linking Theoies, ITL, HDLS
