E. Vandermeulen et al., THE TEMPORAL BOOLEAN DERIVATIVE APPLIED TO VERIFICATION OF EXTENDED FINITE-STATE MACHINES, Computers & mathematics with applications, 30(2), 1995, pp. 27-36
Extended finite state machines are an important feature of modern comp
uters. Their verification, unlike sequential system testing, is very c
omplex and has received little attention in literature. This paper sug
gests a model based on a symbolic representation to describe the tempo
ral behavior of sequential machines. Two examples of different archite
ctures illustrate the application of the methodology.
