Nikita Golovliov: Verification of Multiprocessor System Memory Model
In a shared memory multiprocessor system, the memory model determines the outcome of read operations at any time, given a partial order of memory operations induced by processor-issued writes and reads. A memory model may …continue reading
Wessel Sinnema: Verifying memory consistency in mCRL2
We present a general method to verify an mCRL2 model of a multiprocessor with respect to memory consistency and prove the correctness of this method. Consequently, we present a way to reformulate most memory models that …continue reading
Sebastiaan Verhoek: SMT solver verification of ladder logic in a production environment (Tata Steel)
It is shown how to verify requirements on the PLC code in use at Tata Steel. A translator from PLC programs to the input language for SMT solvers has been written. Subsequently, requirements on some …continue reading
Elbert van de Put: Ant Colony Optimization for Model Checking
Ant Colony Optimization is an optimization algorithm that is inspired by the foraging behavior of ants. In this thesis I have applied Ant Colony Optimization to problems that are generated from the model checking problem, …continue reading
Mark Frenken: Code Generation and Model-Based Testing in Context of OIL
OIL is a domain-specific language under development at Océ for specifying, analysing, and implementing software components. OIL is to have IDE support, transformations to formal modelling languages for requirement verification, and code generation towards general-purpose …continue reading
Sjef van Loo: Verifying SPLs using parity games expressing variability
SPL verification can be costly when all the software products of an SPL are verified independently. It is well known that parity games can be used to verify software products. We propose a generalization of …continue reading
Stan Roelofs: Automatically proving equality of infinite sequences
First order inductive theorem proving deals with proving new equations based on a given set of equations. More specifically, we are interested in proving that the axioms logically imply the goals. In this presentation I …continue reading
Msc presentation Johri van Eerd
Johri van Eerd will present his master thesis research on Monday August 26 at 15:00 in Atlas 2.215. His presentation addresses the question on whether term rewriting on GPUs is competitive compared to term rewriting …continue reading
Kevin Nogarede: An approachable language for formal requirements
Formal system verification is a mathematical technique for establishing whether a process meets certain design requirements. Typically, such techniques require notation in academic languages which are difficult for engineers to write and interpret. We aim …continue reading
Ruud Meeuws: Model Checking Supermodels Workbench with mCRL2
At Sioux, a model-driven development tool is created. It allows users to create a model and generate software for specific hardware platforms. For this tool, Sioux wants to incorporate model checking in order to improve …continue reading
