WEDNESDAY, June 9, 2004, 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM | Room: 6A
TOPIC AREA:  SYSTEM-LEVEL DESIGN AND VERIFICATION

   SESSION 31
  Advances in Boolean Analysis Techniques
  Chair: Aarti Gupta - NEC Corp., Princeton, NJ
  Organizers: Pei-Hsin Ho, Tony Ma

  Recent years have witnessed significant advances in the scalability and applicability of Boolean reasoning methods in a variety of EDA problems. Papers in this session represent significant extensions to the state-of-the-art technology in this area. The first paper proposes a SAT-based method for diagnosing infeasibility. The second paper uses re-parametrization to improve symbolic simulation. The third paper presents efficient symmetry detection methods. The last two papers describe methods for enhancing bounded model checking and combinational equivalence checking.
