Summary on Grant Application Form
The project will consist of: - The first phase of our programme consists of activities designed to lower the cost of using formal methods. It will develop a set generic formal models of systems and components and perform research into appropriate mechanism for component composition. - The second phase of our programme consists of activities designed to increase the benefit of using formal modelling for non-expert users. our focus here is therefore on fully automatic techniques, namely infinite state model-checking using partial evaluation and abstract interpretation, automated test case generation multi-level simulation.- The third phase of activity involves the validation of our tools and techniques by applying them to details of the case studies provided by ICL. We are hoping to obtain a third case study from Roke Manor. This third phase also consolidates the documentation and evaluates the models and the tools.
