Summary on Grant Application Form
The main goal is to develop and test theoretical and methodological concepts to extend fully-expansive (LCF-style) theorem proving to support Automatic verification (including model checking) and efficient execution.A key idea is to devise caluculi of judgements that link logic terms to efficient data structures (like BDDs and MDGs) and then to implement calculations vith these structures as fully-expansive proof in the calculi.\n existing fully-expansive ground execution mechanism will be extended to support symbolic execution. Links will also be provided to program execution mechanisms in the metalanguage that are not fully expansive.,kthe research will emphasise conceptual coherence as well as implementation efficiency. It will build on successful proof-of-concept experiments and :)e tested on public domain models of ARM processors being developed at the University of Leeds.
