The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Sponsored Research and Programs Division. The grant aims to address the growing need for formal reasoning about the safety, security, and reliability of complex software systems when heterogeneous analysis methods are applied.

The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year award include: 1) Developing the logical and semantic foundations for compositional assurance reasoning using modal logic to represent truth from under-approximate and over-approximate analyses; 2) Defining a Kripke semantics based on program execution to give meaning to the logical formulas; and 3) Developing counterfactual reasoning principles to aid in refining analyses and repairing programs when incidents occur. The project will also provide training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in program testing, verification, vulnerability detection, and software security.
