About this title

Synopsis

This book surveys the automata theoretic techniques that are required for model checking and satisfiability of expressive extensions of LTL that are used in specification of hardware designs. The motivation for studying these issues was the work done in Intel on a specification language for hardware model checking that extends LTL, later to be named ForSpec. While ForSpec does not include automata as temporal connectives, the backend tool, that handles the translation of ForSpec does. This led to the renewed study of automata connectives, and how to best handle them with alternating automata.
