Abstract
Device, system and method of efficient automata-based implementation of liveness properties for formal verification. A system according to embodiments of the invention includes a property transformation module to receive an assume verification directive on a liveness property in a property specification language, and to translate the property a fairness statement that uses a deterministic automaton. The deterministic automaton is exponential in the size of the input property. The assume verification directive may be transformed into a strong suffix implication in the property specification language.
