Abstract
The VHDL standard gives only an informal description of the semantics of VHDL. To apply formal verification techniques, a precise semantics definition is necessary. A formal semantics for VHDL based on interpreted Petri nets is defined. The presented semantics is compositional and provides a link to automatic verification methods for VHDL based designs.<>
