The Dutch Research Council for Scientific Research (NWO), has awarded Vidi funding to Arnd Hartmanns, among others. With this contribution of 800,000 euros, he can develop an innovative line of research in the coming five years.
TRUSTWORTHY ANALYSIS OF STOCHASTIC TIMED SYSTEMS
We rely on storm surge barriers, nuclear power plants, and other critical systems to work safely even when operators make errors or equipment fails at inconvenient random moments. Experts use special software to design these systems and ensure they are reliable. But how to ensure this software is correct? This research combines mathematics and computer science to develop software for the experts that cannot be wrong: Its algorithms come with mathematical proofs of correctness that have been checked by a computer using a so-called theorem prover; and the theorem prover equally shows that the software itself implements these algorithms correctly.
