The IVOIRE Idea

The IVOIRE project aims to introduce so-called Validation Obligations (VOs) into formal methods. With these VOs it then shall be possible to show whether a certain behavior is present in a formal model. By showing if a property is present, one can reason about the model and explain the features to its stakeholders. VOs will enrich the modeling process in formal methods, as shown in the picture above. While the normal refinement chain M0-M2 is already present, we plan to introduce VOs (green boxes) and various views for the model (blue boxes). The progress can be followed in detail on the Ivoire:About page. For a first deep dive into the VO semantic, see the paper that introduces IVOIRE.
