Centre for Applied Formal Methods
(Head of Centre: Prof Jonathan Bowen)

The Centre for Applied Formal Methods was established in March 2000 with the aim of carrying out research work with a balance of theory (e.g., based on formal methods) and practice (applications) in the general area of computer science. In particular, members of staff have interests in the following areas:

The Centre has collaborated extensively with the Centre for Systems and Software Engineering (CSSE) and the Centre for e-Security.

See slides for an introductory talk on CAFM (updated in January 2001 to work with recent versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape) presented by Jonathan Bowen on 7 July 2000.

See a short article on the Centre: Computing - a world controlled by computer software. South Bank University Annual Review 2000, page 37. Another version of this article appeared as : Can software control it all? South Bank News, 11:38, Autumn 2000.

The Centre has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the United Nations University International Institute for Software Technology (UNU/IIST) based in Macau.

Since August 2003, the Centre has been a member of the CoLogNET European Network on Computational Logic.

From November 2001 for three years, the Centre has been participating in the EPSRC network FORTEST on formal methods and testing led by Rob Hierons of Brunel University.

In Winter Term 2000, members of the Centre attended and presented the first series of seminars with the Centre for Concurrent Systems and VLSI (Mondays, 12 noon, Room B470). In Spring Term 2001, formal methods and other more general seminars were held (Mondays, 1-2pm, Room B470). A series of Systems & Software Engineering research seminars was started in summer 2001, including both external and internal speakers. In 2004, this become part of a new series of talks.

On Thursdays from 18 October 2001, Ali Abdallah presented a course on Functional Programming for research students and staff.

The School Research Seminar series takes place on Mondays during semesters.

If you are considering visiting the Centre from abroad for a period (e.g., as a postgraduate student or on an internship) see some Frequently Asked Questions by Kalpesh Kapoor, who may also be able to help with further questions on the practicalities of such matters.
