The notion of compositionality is very important in Computer Science. It facilitates the module design of complex systems and the reuse of the intellectual and material capital invested in them.Research on finding compositional formal methods for concurrent behaviour remains one of the most important and challenging issues in formal semantics and in the design of verified mixed hardware/software systems. This proposal addresses theoretical and pragmatic issues concerning the correct design of mixed software/hardware systems. In particular we aim to establish a general theory of compositionality in which a systematic methodology for the specification and proof of mixed hardware/software system will be given: closing the gap between formal specification and executable code; and undertake industrially related case studies including the correct design of a fine-grained multithreaded dataflow CPU.Out aims will be within the Interval Temporal Logic (ITL) framework and its associated Tempura interpreter. However this will not detract from the general scope of our developed techniques.
