Summary on Grant Application Form
The project aims to apply machine assisted formal verification techniques to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) communication network. This work extends an earlier feasibility study funded by SERC. The novelty of this research is that we consider a multilayer verification of an entire network within a single framework. Previous work has only considered aspects of a network in isolation, or has simply assumed the existence of a network which behaves according to a high level specification. The main result will be a clear understanding of how verification techniques can and should be applied to ATM communication networks.
