Test Case Extraction from Correctness ProofsCase for Support 1

Savi Maharaj is a researcher near the beginning of her career as a lecturer at the University of Stirling. She has had extensive training in theoretical computer science as well as in software engineering. She has a general interest in the use of Formal Methods to produce reliable software systems and a particular interest in the development and use of tools to support this endeavour. She is specially interested in tools which provide computer assisted theorem proving (CATP) and has a broad experience of a variety of such tools. In the last eight years she has worked on a number of projects involving applications of these tools to Formal Methods 16, 17, 10, 18]. This has developed into an interest in the integration of Formal Methods with traditional software engineering techniques such as program testing. Her current work on this topic will be presented at the Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques at Bonas, France in September 1999. This work has also been presented at the Scottish Theorem Proving Seminar, a (roughly) quarterly meeting of Computing Science researchers in Scotland in which Dr Maharaj is a regular participant. Dr Maharaj's current work includes a project to develop proof objects for the PVS theorem proving system. This is supported by a grant from the Nuueld Foundation under the scheme of Awards to Newly Appointed Lecturers in Science and Technology. Before coming to Stirling, Dr Maharaj worked at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratories on a project involving the use of the PVS theorem proving system to support the formal method VDM. Dr Maharaj has made a number of summer visits to AT&T Bell Laboratories (now known as Lucent) to work on projects involving the Higher Order Logic theorem proving system. These visits were supported by the AT&T University Relations scheme. While at Stirling, Dr Maharaj has gained experience in supervising undergraduate student projects including a project in formal methods. She has also had experience as an informal advisor to postgraduate student projects both at Stirling and at Edinburgh. Dr Maharaj is therefore ready to undertake her rst experience as the oocial supervisor of a postgraduate student. Within Stirling, Dr Maharaj is a member of an established and active research group in Formal Methods for Complex Systems. This group, which currently comprises eight members of staa and three research students, provides a wide range of expertise in a variety of Formal Methods and rigorous software …
