The objective is to address the growth in complexity of future embedded products while reducing time and cost to market requires methods allowing for early exploration and assessment of alternative design solutions as well as efficient methods for verifying final implementations. This calls for a range of model-based validation techniques ranging from simulation, testing, model-checking, compositional techniques, refinement as well as abstract interpretation. The challenge will be in designing scalable techniques allowing for efficient and accurate analysis of performance and dependability issues with respect to the various types of (quantitative) models considered. The activity brings together the leading teams in Europe in the area of model-based validation.
