RESEARCH PROJECT TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A FORMAL SPECIFICATION LANGUAGE AND A PROGRAM DESIGN LANGUAGE FOR SPECIFYING SYSTEMS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN ADA The project involves designing a language, ABC, that can be used as a formal specification language and as a program design language for systems to be implemented in Ada. In addition to designing ABC, we will develop a syntax checker for ABC (probably using LEX and YACC), demonstrate that we can do specification-code and code-specification correlations, and demonstrate that we can do design verification on formal specifications written in ABC. Experience: MS/Ph.D. in Computer Science with good mathematical background; familiarity with language design and translator construction and/or be familiar with formal specification languages and program verification.
