Our Philosophies
- Math is fun
- Even more so, if we get applications with impact
- (and that makes our lives much easier...)

Our Strategy
Our Mission
abstract, generic
w/ parameter P
- Modern, abstract mathematics
Mathematical
abstract theory
Category Theory (and Algebra)
Logic
- A modern math. language, with arrows
- Reasoning, described mathematically and syntactically
- Emphasis on structure
- not how an entity is constructed
- but how it relates to others
- Reveals the "same structure" obscured by set-theoretic explicit descriptions
- Applied to computer science
Computer Systems: Emerging Concerns
Computer Systems: Correctness
- Everywhere, important roles... but buggy
- Pervasiveness ==> new concerns
- Formal verification
- providing a mathematical proof for correctness
- not testing
- Cyber-Physical Systems
- Digital control in physical environment
- i.e. (discrete) jump & (continuous) flow
New applications,
new concerns and
new computation paradigms
- (Manual) theorem proving (Coq, Agda, PVS, ...); automatic theorem proving (SMT, ...); model checking
- Quality of service (QoS), quantitative verification
- "Correct? Yes/No" ==> "How often?", "at what cost?", ...
