Summary
Recent news are rife with headlines on incidents involving software malfunctions, with consequences ranging from the merely annoying to the dramatic. This has created a context of increased pressure for more correct software, and a growing demand for tools and techniques that may help software developers reach this goal. This research chair shall contribute to the development of reliable software systems by concentrating on their specification, testing and verification. This goal will be reached by the study and development of expressive specification languages and the production of useful and testing and verification theories and automated software tools.
