  Trends in advanced electronic systems' design have a notable impact on design
verification technologies. The recent paradigms of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) assume devices immersed in physical environments,
significantly constrained in resources and expected to provide levels of
security, privacy, reliability, performance and low power features. In recent
years, numerous extra-functional aspects of electronic systems were brought to
the front and imply verification of hardware design models in multidimensional
space along with the functional concerns of the target system. However,
different from the software domain such a holistic approach remains
underdeveloped. The contributions of this paper are a taxonomy for
multidimensional hardware verification aspects, a state-of-the-art survey of
related research works and trends towards the multidimensional verification
concept. The concept is motivated by an example for the functional and power
verification dimensions.
