Marius' student works

• Methods and Tools for Validation (MTV), Fall 2002

  Presentation by me of "Fault Diagnosis for Timed Automata" by Stavros Tripakis.

  Presentation by me of "Principles and Methods of Testing Finite State Machines - A Survey" by David Lee and Mihalis Yannakakis.

• Semantics and Verification, Spring 2002.

  We (me, Egle and our supervisor Gerd) analysed the radar memory interface manufactured by Terma and prepared the model for it to be verified by Uppaal. The supporting material can be found here:

  1. "Memory Interface Analysis Using the Real-Time Model Checker Uppaal" article [ps] [pdf].
  2. The presentation of the semester project [ppt] [zip].
  3. The small (trivial) memory interface model for Uppaal.
  4. The complete (as manufactured¹ by Terma) memory interface model for Uppaal².
  5. The complete minimized (as we propose) memory interface model for Uppaal.

  Special thanks to our co-supervisor Thomas Hune, who provided the details of Terma's radar memory interface.

  ¹ the original configuration contains 8 times bigger buffers, but the verification results does not differ much.
  ² caution: you might need over 105GB of machine memory to verify the actual case.

• Programming paradigms, Fall 2001.

  We had a Programming Paradigms course which consisted of two subjects: functional programming (Scheme, LAML) and logical programming (SWI Prolog). We successfully defended a mini-project NIM game. The task is explained in appendix A and the result (SWI Prolog program) is in appendix B.

• Distributed systems, Fall 2001.

  We did a semester project for this course. The project was about autonomous intelligent agents walking in the fields and gathering information from points structured in a grid. Our task was to design a route planning algorithm for them, which actually is a Traveling Salesman Problem and belongs to exponential complexity class of problems (NP problem).

  Nothing very special to look at, but colleagues may find interesting to read a report (it contains 37 nice illustrations :-). The appended floppy contains the Simulator application on Java 1.3.1 platform. Only our source code is included.
