Formal Conformance Testing and Data-Intensive Timed Systems: From Foundations to Industrial Relevancy

Date : 2002-09-30
Time : 13.15 -15.00
Room : 2145
Title: Formal Conformance Testing and Data-Intensive Timed Systems: From Foundations to Industrial Relevancy
Presenter: Antti Heima, Conformiq Software Ltd.

ABSTRACT: Applying the ideas of formal conformance testing to industrial problems is all but straightforward, most notably because real-world systems are (1) data-intensive, (2) timed, and (3) infinite-state. In this talk we consider the research focus points of Conformiq and what we perceive to be the fundamental problems on the current theoretical frontier. This is a position-talk type. presentation. No deep abstract theories will be presented; so everyone interested in this field is warmly welcome. Topics touched: symbolic & abstraction methods, timed systems, measuring black-box testing coverage.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Mr. Antti Huima (M.Sc. Tech) works as the Chief Scientific Officer for Conformiq Software Ltd, a Finnish SME focusing on developing an industrial-strength product for automatic formal conformance testing. Mr. Huima is also a post-graduate student at the Laboratory for Theoretical Computer Science at Helsinki Univ of Tech, preparing his PhD thesis on the formal verification of computer programs with unbounded heap-structured memory. This Autumn Mr. Huima gives also a class at HUT on formal conformance testing, aimed at 3rd-4th year M.Sc.-students majoring in CS.
