Aims

Introduce students to the possibility of software (resp. hardware) quality assurance by creating its model, check correctness on the level of the model, and subsequently translate (sometimes automatelly) the model into the target programming language. These principles are introduced on four models, in particular: Petri nets, Markov chains, timed automata and UML/SysML diagrams.
