Abstract

SystemCdouble-struck F signdouble-struck L sign is the formalisation of a reasonable subset of SystemC based on classical process algebras. During the last few years, SystemC double-struck F signdouble-struck L sign has been successfully used to give formal specifications of SystemC designs. For formal analysis purposes, so far, users have been required to transform manually their SystemC codes into corresponding SystemCdouble-struck F signdouble-struck L sign specifications. To verify some desired properties of SystemC double-struck F signdouble-struck L sign specifications using existing formal verification tools (e.g. NuSMV and SPIN), similarly, manual translations have been needed for turning SystemC double-struck F signdouble-struck L sign specifications into corresponding terms of the input language (e.g. SMV and PROMELA) of the selected formal verification tool. Since manual transformation and translations between SystemC codes, SystemC specifications, and various formalisms are quite laborious and therefore error-prone, these translations have to be made as much automatic as possible. The first step of the research in these directions is to automate the transformation from SystemC codes to SystemC specifications. In this paper, we present SC2SCFL (an automatic translation tool), which converts SystemC codes into corresponding SystemC double-struck F signdouble-struck L sign specifications.
