Unifying theories of interrupts
This work was funded by QinetiQ to satisfy requirements for formally verifiable techniques for validation and certification of control software in safety critical military equipment. Primary contribution is fundamental new concepts in semantics for modelling and automated analysis of failure in control system software, significantly advancing paradigms in earlier works. Concepts were directly employed in the certification of the Flight Control Computer in the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft. This led to an EPSRC / Atomic Weapons Establishment project (£125k), integrating the techniques into Systems Engineering processes.
