Who we are
----------
The Embedded System Research Unit (ES Unit) of the Information and Communication Technology Centre of the Bruno Kessler Foundation, Trento, Italy consists of about 25 persons, including researchers, post-Doc, PhD students, and programmers. The Unit carries out research, tool development and technology transfer in the fields of design and verification of embedded systems.

Current research directions include:
* Satisfiability Modulo Theory, and its application to the verification of hardware, embedded critical software, and hybrid systems (Verilog, SystemC, C/C++, StateFlow/Simulink);
* Model Based Planning and Scheduling of aerospace domains using model checking and satisfiability modulo theory techniques;
* Formal Requirements Analysis based on techniques for temporal logics (consistency checking, vacuity detection, input determinism, cause-effect analysis, realizability and synthesis);
* Model-based engineering and formal verification of aerospace systems using model checking techniques, on-board reasoning systems for autonomous vehicles using planning techniques
* Formal Safety Analysis based on the integration of traditional techniques (e.g. Fault-tree analysis, FMEA) with symbolic verification techniques.
