UniForM Workbench

Universal Formal Methods Workbench

Academic and industrial partners are developing a universal development environment for formal methods. The Project UniForM Workbench is sponsored by the BMBF from 1995 until 1998.

Project Objectives

The development of reliable software for industrially relevant tasks demands a suitable tool-supported combination of formal methods.

The UniForM Workbench is a generic framework, instantiated with specific tools for methods to handle communicating distributed systems and real-time requirements. The combination of methods in a logically consistent way and the development of correct transformation tools, a basic aspect of quality assurance, are demonstrated.

The industrial potential of the UniForM Workbench is illustrated by a case study from industry, the development of a decentralized control unit for single-track tramway networks.
