Applications

A substantial amount of the work of the TDS Group involves application of our formal models and methods to particular case studies.

There are several purposes/benefits of this application work:

  • It yields interesting results about the application area - e.g., algorithms, impossibility results, formal specs and proofs for components.

  • It contributes to the development of the formal models and methods, ensuring that this development takes place in a way that is useful in practice.

  • It leads to the development of a useful theory for the application area. Such a theory consists of a collection of abstract component specifications, abstract algorithms and other component designs, and specialized theorems to help in designing and verifying systems in this application area.
