Formal verification is a computationally intractable problem, though through recent advances it has become an essential tool for the EDA community.  This session includes three papers introducing techniques to enhance the scalability of formal verification algorithms through simplifying transformations.  The fourth proposes a technique to enhance the quality of the verification process.
