Bilateral Contracts with Industry
We have two bilateral contracts which are closely related to a joint effort called the ProofInUse joint Laboratory. The objective of ProofInUse is to provide verification tools, based on mathematical proof, to industry users. These tools are aimed at replacing or complementing the existing test activities, whilst reducing costs.
This joint laboratory is a follow-up of the former “LabCom ProofInUse” between Toccata and the SME AdaCore, funded by the ANR programme “Laboratoires communs”, from April 2014 to March 2017 http://www.spark-2014.org/proofinuse.
ProofInUse-AdaCore Collaboration
Participants : Claude Marché [contact] , Jean-Christophe Filliâtre, Andrei Paskevich, Guillaume Melquiond, Sylvain Dailler.
This collaboration is a joint effort of the Inria project-team Toccata and the AdaCore company which provides development tools for the Ada programming language. It is funded by a 5-year bilateral contract from Jan 2019 to Dec 2023.
The SME AdaCore is a software publisher specializing in providing software development tools for critical systems. A previous successful collaboration between Toccata and AdaCore enabled Why3 technology to be put into the heart of the AdaCore-developed SPARK technology.
The objective of ProofInUse-AdaCore is to significantly increase the capabilities and performances of the Spark/Ada verification environment proposed by AdaCore. It aims at integration of verification techniques at the state-of-the-art of academic research, via the generic environment Why3 for deductive program verification developed by Toccata.
ProofInUse-MERCE Collaboration
Participants : Claude Marché [contact] , Jean-Christophe Filliâtre, Andrei Paskevich, Guillaume Melquiond, Sylvain Dailler.
This bilateral contract is part of the ProofInUse effort. This collaboration joins efforts of the Inria project-team Toccata and the company Mitsubishi Electric R&D (MERCE) in Rennes. It is funded by a bilateral contract of 18 months from Nov 2019 to April 2021.
MERCE has strong and recognized skills in the field of formal methods. In the industrial context of the Mitsubishi Electric Group, MERCE has acquired knowledge of the specific needs of the development processes and meets the needs of the group in different areas of application by providing automatic verification and demonstration tools adapted to the problems encountered.
The objective of ProofInUse-MERCE is to significantly improve on-going MERCE tools regarding the verification of Programmable Logic Controllers and also regarding the verification of numerical C codes.
