Verification

How is AI transforming the ways society decides what is true? Algorithms now go beyond detecting misinformation. They operate with agentic reasoning, identifying patterns, evaluating credibility, and shaping how truth is defined. Algorithmic Fact-Verification: Methods and Ethics explains how human judgment and machine intelligence intertwine in the creation of trust and credibility. It examines the social and moral consequences of giving AI an active role in verification, offering an accessible and thought-provoking account of how AI fact-checking is reshaping journalism, knowledge, and democracy in the digital age. Moving beyond the technicalities of misinformation detection, Shin analyzes how truth is produced, governed, and contested in the algorithmic age. Through a synthesis of communication theory, cognitive epistemology, and science and technology studies, we trace fact-checking's evolution from a reactive journalistic practice into an automated, infrastructural system endowed w

The volume brings together an international group of experts on the question of verification. Their essays examine the record of successes and failures of verification under existing treaties, the imp

Research and development of logic synthesis and verification have matured considerably over the past two decades. Many commercial products are available, and they have been critical in harnessing a

Improve design efficiency and reduce costs with this practical guide to formal and simulation-based functional verification. Giving you a theoretical and practical understanding of the key issues involved, expert authors including Wayne Wolf and Dan Gajski explain both formal techniques (model checking, equivalence checking) and simulation-based techniques (coverage metrics, test generation). You get insights into practical issues including hardware verification languages (HVLs) and system-level debugging. The foundations of formal and simulation-based techniques are covered too, as are more recent research advances including transaction-level modeling and assertion-based verification, plus the theoretical underpinnings of verification, including the use of decision diagrams and Boolean satisfiability (SAT).

Intended for hardware design engineers, this book introduces general verification techniques, compares them with formal verification techniques, and provides instructions for creating formal high leve

Functional verification is an art as much as a science. It requires not only creativity and cunning, but also a clear methodology to approach the problem. The Open Verification Methodology (OVM) is a

As design complexity in chips and devices continues to rise, so, too, does the demand for functional verification. Principles of Functional Verification is a hands-on, practical text that will help t

Model checking is a powerful approach for the formal verification of software. It automatically provides complete proofs of correctness, or explains, via counter-examples, why a system is not correct.

Given the growing size and heterogeneity of Systems on Chip (SOC), the design process from initial specification to chip fabrication has become increasingly complex. This growing complexity provides i

This book takes a formal approach to teaching software engineering, using not only UML, but also Object Constraint Language (OCL) for specification and analysis of designed models. Employing technical

Reconfigurable systems have pervaded nearly all fields of computation and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Reconfigurable System Design and Verification provides a compendium of desi

Formal methods is the term used to describe the specification and verification of software and software systems using mathematical logic. Various methodologies have been developed and incorporated into software tools. An important subclass is distributed systems. There are many books that look at particular methodologies for such systems, e.g. CSP, process algebra. This book offers a more balanced introduction for graduate students that describes the various approaches, their strengths and weaknesses, and when they are best used. Milner's CCS and its operational semantics are introduced, together with notions of behavioural equivalence based on bisimulation techniques and with variants of Hennessy-Milner modal logics. Later in the book, the presented theories are extended to take timing issues into account. The book has arisen from various courses taught in Iceland and Denmark and is designed to give students a broad introduction to the area, with exercises throughout.
