Previous Research Projects

Quantitative Problem Solving

Using rule-based techniques and knowledge bases of quantitative data from science and engineering, automatically solving quantitative problems and demonstrating the solution method.

Change Management of Formal Specifications

Investigating how change can be made to the formal model of a system and how it can be supported by software tools. This work has investigated change techniques and a tool has been developed for the formal notation LOTOS.
