Prerequisites
Skills to be acquired in this module
Formal methods are mathematically well-defined languages for the modelling of systems. The students get to know different formal methods and learn about their usage for the modelling and analysis of systems. For a given task, they choose adequate formalisms and their corresponding analysis technique, apply these and interpret the outcome of the analysis.

**Professional competence**
The students:
- apply mathematical formalisms to the modelling of systems,
- choose an adequate modelling formalism for some given task,
-
formally specify systems,
- choose suitable analysis techniques,
- interpret results of analysis runs.

**Methodogical competence**
The students:
- carry out formal correctness proofs,
- employ analysis tools,

- define the semantics of formal specification languages.


**Social competence**
The students:
- work in groups on tasks and explain solutions to each other,

- discuss the advantages and disadvantages of modelling formalisms.

**Self-competence**
The students:
- organise themselves for the work in the module.
Module contents
- Short recap of predicate logic, use of predicate logic in program verification,
