This $875,000 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), supports the development of "Performance Verification", an automated reasoning framework to evaluate the reliability and availability of complex networked systems. The project aims to create formal modeling and specification methods to represent the behavior of modern networked systems, along with automated techniques to generate proofs and counterexamples to verify system performance. The research at the University of Texas at Austin will incorporate these advancements into university coursework and publicly disseminate educational materials, with the goal of enabling system engineers to design more reliable and available networked infrastructure that supports critical services such as utilities, aviation, defense, and first responders. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2028.
