Teaching

The university employees of VeriDis have significant teaching obligations. We indicate the graduate courses they have been teaching this year, as well as significant pedagogical responsibilities.

• Dominique Méry gave courses in the Master program in Nancy on: formal system engineering, modeling and verification of systems, theoretical computer science, development of software systems, distributed algorithms.

• Stephan Merz taught a course on algorithmic verification in the Master program in Nancy (30 hours) and a course on modal logic in the undergraduate curriculum on cognitive and computer science (30 hours).
