On the project

Vysokoúrovňový návrh a formální verifikace jsou jednou z perspektivních cest, jak dosáhnout vyšší spolehlivosti a bezpečnosti počítačových systémů. Předkládaný projekt navazuje na zkušenosti a výsledky řešitelského týmu a na existující spolupráci se špičkovými zahraničními pracovišti a koncipuje základní výzkum takových pokročilých formálních přístupů, vycházejících z teorie systémů, logiky, teoretické informatiky a umělé inteligence, které jsou aplikovatelné v oblastech vysokoúrovňového návrhu a formální verifikace. Předpokládá, že tyto přístupy mohou výrazně pomoci tam, kde metody verifikace založené na hrubé síle selhávají. Projekt zahrnuje výzkum vzájemně se doplňujících metod návrhu založeného na modelech, simulační verifikaci a model checkingu konečně i nekonečně stavových systémů. Jedná se primárně o výzkum nových přístupů, metod a jejich vlastností, možných rozšíření či specializací apod. Metody vyvíjené v projektu budou prototypově implementovány a ověřeny na vhodných případových studiích. [private wiki]

Description in English
High-level design and formal verification are promising approaches for improving reliability and safety of computer systems. This project is proposed by the highly experienced team with the expressive results and the international cooperation with the prestigious research teams. The project aims to explore and use advanced formal approaches from the fields like system theory, logics, theoretical computer science, and artificial intelligence in the area of the high-level design and formal verification. We believe that these approaches can significantly improve the verification abilities, especially in the cases on which the brute-force approach does not succeed. The proposed research project covers complementary methods, i.e., the model-driven design, the simulation-based verification, and the model checking of finite-state as well as infinite-state systems. The research should result in developing new approaches and methods with unique properties. These methods will be validated by the prototype implementation and will be evaluated by suitable case studies.

Keywords
