@ -25,4 +25,12 @@ doesn't translate into belief into his mission. Formal methods are an intense
mathematical pursuit in order to prove 'correctness' of something to something
else. Formal methods experts may disagree with that characterization, but
ultimately that second 'something' can be a lot of things, such as a model of a
plant, a written specification, or anything that can be logically defined.
plant, a written specification, or anything that can be logically defined. Dan
wants to use formal methods to prove things about physical systems. His idea is
aligned with what Manyu just finished up: can we use formal methods to prove that
certain systems adhere to requirements using formal methods? This is connected
in part to the HARDENS report, which tried to use formal methods tools at several
layers of abstraction to prove that a written requirement can be translated into
a proof for a determined plant design. There is certainly work to be done there.
But is that work that I want to do?
