The EU-funded project involves Alstom, Critical Software Technologies, Systerel and two universities, Southampton and Düsseldorf. It aims to deliver methods and tools for formal modelling, verification and validation, and reduce the associated costs while increasing the benefits obtained.

The ADVANCE project will produce models for embedded systems and help to eliminate design errors before projects reach the manufacturing stage. It will run for 30 months.
