FIT-MBAAcad. year: 2023/2024

Introduction of model-base design, testing, analysis and model checking. Petri nets as a model of parallel systems. Techniques for analysis of Petri nets. Markov chains as a model of probabilistic systems. Techniques for analysis of Markov chains. Timed automata as a model of systems working with real-time. Techniques for analysis of timed automata.

Number of ECTS credits

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Guarantor

doc. Mgr. Adam Rogalewicz, Ph.D.

Department

Department of Intelligent Systems (UITS)

Entry knowledge

Basic knowledge of graph theory, formal languages concepts and automata theory. Basic knowledge of statistics and probability. Basic knowledge of software engineering.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

4 projects (10 points each), final exam (60 points).


Students have to achieve at least 25 points, otherwise the exam is assessed by 0 points.

Aims

Introduce students to the possibility of software (resp. hardware) quality assurance by creating its model, check correctness on the level of the model, and subsequently translate (sometimes automatelly) the model into the target programming language. These principles are introduced on four models, in particular: Petri nets, Markov chains, timed automata and UML/SysML diagrams.

Study aids

Not applicable.
