Formal verification and specification techniques (including equivalence checking, model checking, symbolic simulation, theorem-proving, abstraction and refinement techniques, and real time verification); technologies supporting formal verification (including SMT, SAT, BDD, ATPG, and related work); semi-formal verification techniques; applications and case studies; formal verification of IPs, SoCs, cores and real-time/embedded systems; verification in practice, namely the integration of verification into the design flow.
