FLUENT VERIFICATION

The (FL)orida-(U)tah (E)merging and (N)ano (T)echnologies Verification Project aims to develop an efficient framework for the stochastic verification of computation and communication systems using emerging technologies... This research aims at advancing probabilistic verification techniques for the rigorous design of dependable systems in synthetic biology and nanotechnology. Major goals of the project include the following. First, scale up stochastic model checking with efficient and accurate state space truncation techniques. Secondly, investigate practical stochastic counterexample generation techniques and utilize them to improve the accuracy of the state reductions. Thirdly, derive automated guidance mechanisms learned from stochastic counterexamples to improve the quality and efficiency of rare-event stochastic simulations. Lastly, integrate our proposed framework within existing state-of-the-art stochastic model checking tools, PRISM and STORM; and evaluate the proposed..
