Abstract :
This paper describes our on-going research. Recently, we developed an algebraic theory based on classical process algebra ACP, called SystemCFL, for the specification and analysis of SystemC designs. The semantics of SystemCFL is defined by means of deduction rules in a standard structured operational semantics style that associate a labelled transition system with a SystemCFL process. In this paper, we first provide an overview of the current status of SystemCFL and show some practical applications of SystemCFL, as well as some key features and results of SystemCFL. Then, we give an outline for the latest developments of SystemCFL and point out the direction for future work.
