Selected Topics Design and Verification

Course Number 705070 | Sommersemester 2020

Content

In this course, you will learn about cutting edge advancements in the field of Design and Verification of software and hardware systems from a formal perspective. Typically, we start by presenting the preliminaries on formal languages and formal methods. Having covered basic concepts on formal methods and advancements in automata theory, we study how these concepts are applied to design and verification of hardware and software systems.

We update the content of this course on an annual basis. This year's topic is reactive synthesis.

The lecture notes are available as PDF documents and show one slide per page.

New: Every Wednesday, we have a question hour from 12pm-1pm.
