How to Reach Us

COST is an open and flexible framework for R&D co-operation in Europe.

COST Actions involve precompetitive or basic research, or activities of public utility.

COST involves the E.U. Member States plus additional EFTA countries.

COST 247: "Verification and Validation Methods for Formal Descriptions"

Project objectives

  • Co-ordination of national efforts to analyse, classify and develop new techniques and tools for current software verification/validation and testing
  • Application of the techniques to selected realistic problems in contemporary distributed communication architectures
  • Improvement of existing specification language standards along directions of industrial applicability
Start date: December 1993

End date: December 1997

Countries involved

Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom

Chairperson: Kemal Inan, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey

Vice-Chairperson: Stanislaw Budkowski, INT, Evry, France

Working groups

WG1: E-LOTOS Activities

Chairperson: Hubert Garavel, Verimag, Grenoble, France
  • Evaluating the applicability of existing LOTOS to realistic case studies
  • Suggesting and discussing suitable extensions to LOTOS (e.g. time, datatypes)
  • Providing technical contributions to the ISO standardization
  • Achieving a European convergence on E-LOTOS

WG2: Analysis and Validation

Chairperson: Jan Friso Groote, CWI, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
  • Create a library of short problem descriptions that people have worked on
  • Gain new experience in applying existing techniques to common examples

WG3: Testing

Chairperson: Katalin Tarnay, KFKI, Budapest, Hungary
  • Assessment of the state-of-the-art in conformance test suite generation techniques
  • Improvement of fault coverage, interoperability testing, ...

WG4: Simulation and Performance Evaluation based on FDTs

Chairperson: Piotr Dembinski, Polish Academy of Science, Warsaw, Poland
  • Performance evaluation of distributed systems based on a formal specification
  • Development of simulation techniques
Belgians who would like to be involved in COST 247 are invited to contact Guy Leduc, Belgian representative in this action.
