Modeling and Verification of Real–time Systems

Stephan Merz is a researcher at INRIA Lorraine (Nancy, France). He is interested in formal methods for the analysis and construction of reliable software systems, in particular temporal logic, refinement, and the automated and interactive verification of distributed systems. Nicolas Navet is a researcher in Real-Time Systems at INRIA Lorraine (Nancy, France). His research interests include real-time scheduling, probalistic modeling and computational intelligence, with applications to automotive embedded systems and financial engineering.
