Systems Verification Group

About us

Bug We are interested in automated reasoning technology for the construction of systems. We are particularly interested in applying these methods to practical hardware and software im­ple­mentations given in industrial languages such as Verilog, C/C++ or Java. Read more about our work on software analysis or hardware verification.
