About the department

The mission of FMT is to develop mathematical methods, high-performance 
data structures and algorithms, and suitable programming languages for 
the design of reliable software- and data-intensive control systems. We 
focus on modelling, synthesis, analysis, prediction and maintenance of 
their functional, structural and quantitative aspects. We aim to 
understand a complex systems’ safety, reliability, performance, energy 
usage and the risks and costs associated to its architecture, design, 
operation and maintenance.

Our mission builds on extensive experience in concurrency theory, static 
analysis, theorem proving, language design, model checking and 
term/graph rewriting
