NES: the behavioral model for the formal semantics of a hardware design language UDL/I
Pages 8 - 13
Abstract
This paper describes a new behavioral model of hardware, named NES (Nondeterministic Event Sequence) model, which was developed for the purpose of defining formal semantics of the gate level and the register transfer level hardware description languages. The NES model is a generalization of the event driven simulation, and can be a basis of synthesis and verification as well as simulation. We introduce basic concepts, formal definition, and a description method of the NES model.

A Formal Framework for ASTRAL Intralevel Proof Obligations
ASTRAL is a formal specification language for real-time systems. It is intended to support formal software development, and therefore has been formally defined. This paper focuses on how to formally prove the mathematical correctness of ASTRAL ...
