Learning objectives

Knowledge

The student should gain knowledge of recent research in advanced mathematical models for formal description and verification of programs, software systems and programming languages. These can, e.g. be

  • Binary Decision Diagrams (BDD)
  • SAT algorithms
  • predicate logic
  • Petri nets, temporal logic
  • mobile process calculations.

Skills

  • be able to explain precisely and using the terminology and notation of the subject important important theories for description and analysis of software systems;
  • be able to use specification and verification methods based on formal models;
  • be able to make use of the necessary writing skills in this context

Competences

  • be able to use formal models and associated verification tools for description, analysis and verification of software systems
