Matt Luckcuck, Maike Schwammberger, Mengwei Xu
This EPTCS volume contains the papers from the Seventh International Workshop on Formal Methods for Autonomous Systems (FMAS 2025), which was held between the 17th and 19th of Nove…
Revisiting Formal Methods for Autonomous Robots: A Structured Survey
Atef Azaiez, David A. Anisi, Marie Farrell +1
This paper presents the initial results from our structured literature review on applications of Formal Methods (FM) to Robotic Autonomous Systems (RAS). We describe our structured…
Varanus: Runtime Verification for CSP
Matt Luckcuck, Angelo Ferrando, Fatma Faruq
Autonomous systems are often used in changeable and unknown environments, where traditional verification may not be suitable. Runtime Verification (RV) checks events performed by a…
Adventures in FRET and Specification
Marie Farrell, Matt Luckcuck, Rosemary Monahan +2
This paper gives an overview of previous work in which the authors used NASA's Formal Requirement Elicitation Tool (FRET) to formalise requirements. We discuss four case studies wh…
