Provably Correct Systems

Objective

PROCOS aims to aid the dissemination of results of the existing PROCOS II project. The long term objective of the Working Group is to contribute to radical improvement in standards of professional practice in the design and implementation of information technology products, involving both hardware and software. The first target for improvement is in the area of safetey critical application; but we believe that much of the same technology will eventually spin off to improve quality and reduce life cycle costs of other products in widespread use.

Topics of interest to members of the Working Group include theories and methodology to handle the following: (1) Requirements capture and analysis; (2) system specification and design; (3) programming language processing and compilation; (4) machine hardware, including multiprogramming kernels; (5) implementation in hardware down to gate level.

ACTIVITIES

The PROCOS Working Group is closely associated with the existing PROCOS II Basic Research project (7071). Joint workshops will be held during the lifetime of that project, approximately every 6 months at PROCOS project sites in Denmark, Germany and the UK. The major event for the Working Group will be an open School and Symposium organised jointly with the existing Formal Techniques in Real-Time and Fault-Tolerant Systems series, to be held 19-23 September 1994 at Scheswig near Kiel, Germany. The group also supports the Z User Meeting series of workshops.

POTENTIAL

The Working Group will seek a simplification of the technology produced by the PROCOS project to make it truly useful for engineers in an industrial setting. The ultimate aim is a more industrially oriented project following on from the PROCOS II project, including a subset of partners on the Working Group. We hope to be influential in the area of European and international standards, particularly for safety-critical systems.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
