Abstract

The Verisoft project aims at the pervasive formal verification of entire computer systems. In particular, the verification of functional and timing properties of the Automotive System is attempted. This is a distributed system, whose components consist of hardware (processor and devices), a real-time operating system, and applications. In this paper we give an overview of the system architecture and its industrial relevance. We will discuss in detail the model layers from the hardware up to a computational model for concurrent user processes interacting with a generic microkernel written in C. This is work in progress, so we will report on its current status, our goals and the next steps we want to take.
