The 19 papers included are thoroughly revised versions of the submissions selected for presentation at the conference and address all current aspects of theorem provers in circuit design. Particular emphasis is given to benchmark-circuits for hardware verification; tutorials on two popular theorem provers are included UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/3-540-59047-1 ER -
