  text: We present a rigorous but transparent semantics definition of SystemVerilog
    that covers processes with blocking and non-blocking statements as well as their
    interaction with the simulation scheduler including the management of new SystemVerilog
    regions. We present our definition in form of distributed Abstract State Machines
    (ASMs) rules reflecting the view given in the SystemVerilog Language Reference
    Manual [1]. Our formal semantics is a concise, unambiguous, high-level specification
    for SystemVerilog-based implementations and for investigation of interoperabilities
    of SystemVerilog with SpecC, SystemC, and VHDL.
