GAMES is a Research Training Network founded under the Fifth Framework Programme of the European Community. The collaboration involves seven European universities and one from the US, and is co-ordinated by Erich Grädel .

Research Objectives

There is a growing need for formal methods that guarantee the reliability, correctness, and efficiency of computerised systems. This project adresses this challenge by developing specification and validation methodologies that are based on games and automata. Oriented at both foundational research and modern applications, this network aims to provide a novel set of techniques for the synthesis and validation of computing systems.
