The focus of this work is hardware/software partitioning verification. The approach uses occam as specification and reasoning language. The partitioned system is derived from the original description of the system by applying transformation rules, all of them proved from the basic laws of occam. The aim of this work is to show how the rewriting system CafeOBJ can be used to automatically prove the partitioning rules, as well as to implement the reduction strategy that guides the application of these rules. In this way, rewriting systems can be regarded as supporting tools for the construction of partitioning environments, whose emphasis is correctness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
