Formal verification of complex and critical systems

Abstract

As technology allows for systems to grow bigger, verification, intended as the process of verifying that a system satisfies its design requirements, has to play a central role in any development process to avoid unwanted behaviours. In this talk I will give an overview of my research work in this area, including:
1) verification of service level agreements for electronic services using on-line monitors based on timed automata.
2) verification of planning domains using requirements-based testing.
3) verification of diagnosability, communication and security protocols using epistemic logic.
