Our research on theoretical foundations includes program semantics, logics, programming and modelling languages and statistical analysis.
Our research on engineering methods include requirements analysis, model-based design, program construction and generation, verification methods and system optimisation. Our tool development work includes tools for formal modelling, model verification, program verification, simulation, optimisation and testing.
We apply our foundations, methods and tools to construction of a range of electronic and software systems including pervasive systems, embedded systems, distributed systems, healthcare systems, mobile devices and information services.
