Summary on Grant Application Form
To identify suitable techniques for automated tools to support the design and checking of data in application specific languages. To produce and demonstrate prototype tools To study the relationship between tool strategies and the design of application specific languages for data driven safety systems To spread knowledge of proof techniques from the academic to the industrial field Progress: The project is virtually complete. Deliverables have been produced in the following areas: A specification for describing railway layouts A form of analysis and formalisation of safety properties and a tool to derive these properties from layout specifications A logic for reasoning about statements in the SSI data language Formalisations of the operations of the SSI system Prototype proving tools
