Research Interests
Currently I am a full-time teaching assistant in the department of computer science, and a part-time postgraduate research scholar under the supervision of Associate Professor Dr DONG Jin Song. My research focuses on applying Formal Specification Languages in Embedded Real-time System design.
- We propose a systematic approach to complement Simulink, a graphical modeling and simulating tool used widely in industry, especially in automobile and aerospace fields, by exploiting Timed Interval Calculus, a highly expressive formal notation based on set theory and supporting the analysis of continuous dynamics, to automatically model and rigorously validate Simulink diagrams against important requirements including safety and bounded liveness requirements.
- Concurrently, we develop a generic verification system based on one of the powerful theorem provers, Prototype Verification System, to achieve machine-assisted proof support for interval-based formal specification languages, in particular, Timed Interval Calculus and Duration Calculus. The verification system carries validation at the interval level with a high degree of automation, and hence is applicable to handle complex and large scale real-time systems.
