Hardware and Software, Verification and Testing

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Haifa Verification Conference, HVC 2006, held in Haifa, Israel, in October 2006. The 15 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited lectures are organized in three topical tracks on hardware verification technologies and methodologies, software testing, and tools for hardware verification and software testing.
