INSTAR RESEARCH PORTFOLIO
Formal Methods Research — INSTAR Lab Technology
INSTAR Lab researches formal verification, model checking, and mathematically rigorous approaches to software and hardware correctness, including assurance for AI-enabled and safety-critical systems.
What a sponsor should be able to evaluate.
Help a program officer, contracting team, or research collaborator understand what formal methods makes possible, what must be tested, and what a credible next phase would require.
INSTAR states the question, the method, the evidence, the limitations, and the next decision so a researcher, program officer, or contracting team can assess fit.
Research setting / Technology
What the work must explain.
A concrete instrument, dataset, or domain gives the research question a testable setting.
Help a program officer, contracting team, or research collaborator understand what formal methods makes possible, what must be tested, and what a credible next phase would require.
Evidence / Formal Methods Research
Make the research reviewable.
A credible program states the question, method, evidence, and limit together.
- QuestionWhat must be learned?
Help a program officer, contracting team, or research collaborator understand what formal methods makes possible, what must be tested, and what a credible next phase would require.
- MethodHow will it be tested?
INSTAR Lab researches formal verification, model checking, and mathematically rigorous approaches to software and hardware correctness, including assurance for AI-enabled and safety-critical systems.
- RiskWhat needs a closer review?
Review the formal methods capability, methods, and evidence before deciding on fit.
Boundary / keep the limit visible
Credible research names its uncertainty.
State what is known, what remains uncertain, and what would change the conclusion.
Reviewing fit? Review the formal methods capability, methods, and evidence before deciding on fit.
