Objective
Its objective is to address these problems head-on. To verify as much as is possible of the design of an industrially relevant system during its development and to augment the VIRES tools with techniques that enable them to perform this verification.
The last 10 years has seen impressive advances in automated techniques to formally verify the functional requirements of software systems; especially through the use of so-called model checking methods. Awareness of this diffuses slowly to industry. This is due in part to the paucity of industrially relevant studies as to the effectiveness of the use of verification techniques during design. And in part to the fact that academic verification tools often are intended to demonstrate the feasibility of particular techniques and, hence, do not scale-up very well to industrial-sized designs.
The VIRES project is carried out by an international consortium comprising of the Universities of Grenoble, Liege and Kiel and led by the Technical University of Eindhoven.
The system to be verified is the 'air-interface protocol' mediating between a fixed ATM backbone and the radio-linked ATM network that comprises the Wireless ATM Network being developed in the WAND project (ACTS AC085) and that will be submitted as a proposed ETSI RES_10 Wireless ATM standard.
To scale-up its verification tools, the VIRES project will need to investigate techniques both to make its tools more efficient, such as abstraction methods, as well as to extent their applicability to, e.g. the verification of time and duration properties.
