Mechanizing Proof
Most aspects of our private and social lives—our safety, the integrity of the financial system, the functioning of utilities and other services, and national security—now depend on computing. But how can we know that this computing is trustworthy? In Mechanizing Proof, Donald MacKenzie addresses this key issue by investigating the interrelations of computing, risk, and mathematical proof over the last half century from the perspectives of history and sociology. His discussion draws on the technical literature of computer science and artificial intelligence and on extensive interviews with participants. MacKenzie argues that our culture now contains two ideals of proof: proof as tradition...
Correct Hardware Design and Verification Methods
CHARME’99 is the tenth in a series of working conferences devoted to the dev- opment and use of leading-edge formal techniques and tools for the design and veri?cation of hardware and systems. Previous conferences have been held in Darmstadt (1984), Edinburgh (1985), Grenoble (1986), Glasgow (1988), Leuven (1989), Torino (1991), Arles (1993), Frankfurt (1995) and Montreal (1997). This workshop and conference series has been organized in cooperation with IFIP WG 10. 5. It is now the biannual counterpart of FMCAD, which takes place every even-numbered year in the USA. The 1999 event took place in Bad Her- nalb, a resort village located in the Black Forest close to the city of Karlsruhe. The ...
Handbook of Satisfiability
Propositional logic has been recognized throughout the centuries as one of the cornerstones of reasoning in philosophy and mathematics. Over time, its formalization into Boolean algebra was accompanied by the recognition that a wide range of combinatorial problems can be expressed as propositional satisfiability (SAT) problems. Because of this dual role, SAT developed into a mature, multi-faceted scientific discipline, and from the earliest days of computing a search was underway to discover how to solve SAT problems in an automated fashion. This book, the Handbook of Satisfiability, is the second, updated and revised edition of the book first published in 2009 under the same name. The handb...
Correct Hardware Design and Verification Methods
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th IFIP WG 10.5 Advanced Research Working Conference on Correct Hardware Design and Verification Methods, CHARME 2005, held in Saarbrücken, Germany, in October 2005. The 21 revised full papers and 18 short papers presented together with 2 invited talks and one tutorial were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on functional approaches to design description, game solving approaches, abstraction, algorithms and techniques for speeding (DD-based) verification, real time and LTL model checking, evaluation of SAT-based tools, model reduction, and verification of memory hierarchy mechanisms.
Designing Correct Circuits
These proceedings contain the papers presented at a workshop on Designing Correct Circuits, jointly organised by the Universities of Oxford and Glasgow, and held in Oxford on 26-28 September 1990. There is a growing interest in the application to hardware design of the techniques of software engineering. As the complexity of hardware systems grows, and as the cost both in money and time of making design errors becomes more apparent, so there is an eagerness to build on the success of mathematical techniques in program develop ment. The harsher constraints on hardware designers mean both that there is a greater need for good abstractions and rigorous assurances of the trustworthyness of desig...
Computer Aided Verification
This volume contains the proceedings of the Fifth Conference on Computer-Aided Verfication, held in Crete, Greece, in June/July 1993. The objective of the CAV conferences is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the development anduse of methods, tools, and theories for the computer-aided verification of concurrent systems. The conferences provide an opportunity for comparing various verfication methods and tools that can be used to assist the applications designer. Emphasis is placed on new research results and the application of existing methods to real verification problems. The volume contains abstracts of three invited lectures and full versions of 37 contributed papers selected from 84 submissions.The contributions are grouped into sections on hardware verification with BDDs, methods and tools, theorem proving, analysis of real-time systems, process algebras and calculi, partial orders, and exploiting symmetry.
Princess of the Hither Isles
A compelling reconstruction of the life of a black suffragist, Adella Hunt Logan, blending family lore, historical research, and literary imagination "Both a definitive rendering of a life and a remarkable study of the interplay of race and gender in an America whose shadows still haunt us today.”—Henry Louis Gates, Jr. “If you combine the pleasures of a seductive novel, discovering a real American heroine, and learning the multiracial history of this country that wasn't in our textbooks, you will have an idea of the great gift that Adele Logan Alexander has given us.”—Gloria Steinem Born during the Civil War into a slaveholding family that included black, white, and Cherokee foreb...

Formal Methods for Trustworthy Computer Systems (FM89)
The 1989 Workshop on the Assessment of Formal Methods for Trustworthy Com puter Systems (FM89} was an invitational workshop that brought together repre sentatives from the research, commercial and governmental spheres of Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The workshop was held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, from July 23 through July 27, 1989. This document reports the activities, observations, recommendations and conclusions resulting. from FM89. 1. 1 Purpose of Workshop The primary purpose for holding FM89 was to assess the role of formal methods in the development and fielding of trustworthy critical systems. The need for this assessment was predicated upon four observati...
