Waveform Transition Graphs: A Designer-Friendly Formalism for Asynchronous Behaviours

The paper proposes a new formal model for describing asynchronous behaviours involving the interplay of causality, concurrency and choice. The model is called Waveform Transition Graphs. Its main aim is simplifying the learning process for industrial engineers in accessing powerful synthesis tools provided for Signal Transition Graphs by sacrificing some of the expressive power of the latter. This formalism is developed based on feedback from engineers of Dialog Semiconductor.
