Course Description
EECS 755 - Systems Requirements Modeling and Analysis is an
advanced introduction to modern techniques for
specification, verification and implementation of
computer-based systems. Topics covered are equally useful
for hardware and software verification. We will learn to
write formal specifications, refine specifications and
verify that implementations meet their requirements.
Specific topics include axiomatic specification,
invariants, algebraic types and induction, constructive
specification, assume-guarantees style specification,
safety and liveness, and natural deduction. Currently we
use the Isabelle proof tool, but techniques apply equally
well to other verification systems.
