Highlights

April 1, 2010
Artemis Joint Undertaking project iFEST has been officially lounched.

MU is a partner in the new top ranked Artemis project, focusing on integrated tool chains for embedded systems development.

The iFEST project has 20 partners and is coordinated by ABB. The project runs for three years with a total budget of 16 MegaEuro. The proposal was ranked no. 1 in the Artemis proposal evaluation for the 2nd call!

Luboš Brim

Professor, Dept. of Computer Science, Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University

I have a M.S. in Mathematics from Masaryk University (1976) and PhD in Computer Sciencs from the Czech Academy of Sciences (1986) under Professor J. Horejs. Since 2006 I am a full professor of informatics at Masaryk University.

My current research interests include automated formal verification, parallel verification and computational systems biology.

In 2002, together with Orna Grumberg I have initialized the series of PDMC workshops on parallel verification. For more information on our own activities in parallel verification please visit the PDMC.CZ - The Czech Portal for Parallel Verification

Systems Biology

I'm heading the Systems Biology Laboratory. The laboratory was established in 2009 with the aim of integrating and intensifying reserach and education activities in the emerging area of Computational Systems Biology at the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University.

Our long-term research goal is to develop and apply computational science and technology to enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the behavior of living systems and develop scalable methods and tools for modeling and computerized analysis of large and complex living systems.

DiVinE

DiVinE is an extensible framework to support verification and analysis of large-scale computer systems on parallel architectures. DiVinE is a collection of state-of-the-art verification algorithms incorporated into a several tools which are as easy to install as most sequential tools.

DiVinE is free for non-profit use, e.g. for evaluation, research, and teaching purposes.

Parallel Verification

Techniques for automated and semi-automated analysis and verification of computer systems are computationally demanding and memory-intensive and their applicability to extremely large and complex systems cannot be efficiently handled unless we use more sophisticated and scalable methods.

Platform-depended techniques attack the scalability problem by exploiting the capabilities of modern hardware architectures. They fight memory limits with efficient utilisation of external I/O devices, introduce cluster-based algorithms to employ aggregate power of network-interconnected computers, speed-up the verification on multi-core processors or accelerate verification using GPU devices.
