This paper describes CPA, a framework for specifying the behavior of control-oriented digital systems. CPA allows the expression of sequential behavior, data transformations and timing constraints in an integrated representation. It supports the abstract, declarative specification of behavior independent of any particular implementation. Thus it is especially useful for verifying a design against a set of extemally-defined requirements.
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.
