2016] Research Student
221 Worked on
\textit{Literate Unit-B
}, the verifier for Unit-B, a new
222 formal method focused on formal verification of reactive,
223 concurrent and distributed systems. From the Literate Unit-B
224 codebase (written in Haskell), decoupled the logic module and used
225 it to build
\textit{Unit-B Web
}, a web interface using Literate
226 Unit-B to do predicate calculus proofs. Unit-B Web, also written
227 in Haskell, supports the
\LaTeX{} syntax of the Unit-B logic,
228 renders user input on the page, and calls the sequent prover of
229 the logic module, which uses the Z3 SMT solver to check the
230 validity of user input.
232 Separated Literate Unit-B's type checker from its parser in a
233 large refactoring, allowing easier substitution of other type
234 checking algorithms, and in preparation for implementing
