Summary
In this document, it highlights the problem (fragmentation)
in today's verification methodology and also points the
right direction to do the verification:
a unified verification methodology based on
the unified verification platform.

Suggestion
I think the concept described in this paper
might be helpful to the design/verification engineers.
(Digital or SoC design)
