Research Projects

The Formal Methods in Systems Engineering Group at Vienna University of Technology (headed by Prof. Helmut Veith) is concerned with research and development in the following areas and projects:

RiSE: Rigorous systems engineering

The National Research Network “RiSE: Rigorous systems engineering” is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). RiSE investigates techniques beyond classical model checking and a-posteriori verification.

PROSEED: Proof Seeding for Software Verifications

The PROSEED research project proposes an innovative approach to verification which is based on the insight that program texts are carrying important information which is directed at the human readers of the program. We will utilize this human engineering information in a logically sound framework for computer-aided verification.

Former Projects

Graduiertenkolleg PUMA (Programm- Und Modell-Analyse)
Doctorate Program PUMA (Program and Model Analysis)

The doctorate program (Graduiertenkolleg) PUMA brings together the four fundamental approaches of program and model analysis, namely, type systems, theorem proving, model-checking, and abstract interpretation. Its goal is to develop new analysis techniques through cross-fertilization. The new methods should prototypically be implemented and be evaluated on selected analysis problems of software-intensive systems.

CASED

The Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED) is headquarter to a cluster of computer scientists, engineers, physicist, legal experts and experts in business administration located at TU Darmstadt, Fraunhofer SIT and Hochschule Darmstadt (University of Applied Sciences).

FORTAS: FORmal Timing Analysis Suite

The FORTAS project is concerned with execution time analysis of embedded software, focusing in particular on control software written in C.

Funding: Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and German Research Foundation (DFG)

   

InteCo

The InteCo (Intelligent Cockpit) project investigates the integration of formal methods into the development processes of airborne software systems. In this project we developed a novel approach to combine model-based testing with systematic test input generation for C code in order to determine deviations of requirements and implementation automatically.
   

BASE.XT (BMW)

Within the BASE.XT project a rigorous model-driven development (MDD) approach for software-intensive automotive systems has been developed in cooperation with BMW Group. The COLA-IDE, i.e., the authoring tool supporting this MDD approach, facilitates modelling on different levels of abstraction (requirements specification and analysis, behavioral modelling, and modelling of the execution platform) aiming at complexity reduction and separation of concerns. Several case studies demonstrated the feasibility of the presented approach.
