VERDI Abstract

VERIFICATION FOR HETEROGENOUS RELIABLE DESIGN AND INTEGRATION

Systems of Systems (SoS) are heterogeneous whereby the functionality more and more rely on the interaction and interoperability between the analogue/mixed-signal (AMS), digital electronics, software and other physical domains. To achieve the required reliability, robustness and quality of SoS, mastering the heterogeneous behaviour across domains is the most essential part during the development process. The traditional barriers between different design disciplines such as system design, verification and prototype validation should be removed, by introducing an integral system verification and validation methodology.

Verdi aims at improving the design efficiency and quality by developing methods and tools to address the design challenges related to heterogeneous integration. It will link simulation-based, “pre-tape-out” system analysis and verification with system validation and analysis of the physical prototype using measurement equipment.

The Verdi partner will spent 444 person month, which are supported by the European Commision within the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development with 3.15 million Euros ( Contract number 287562).
