R&D projects
In the last 25 years, our research group participated in more than 20 EU cooperative research projects (FP4-H2020) and more than 25 direct industry collaborations. In our R&D projects, we develop new, innovative software-based solutions that help engineers create better systems.

EMBrACE
Environment for model-based co-design of CPSWe participate in the “Environment for model-based rigorous adaptive co-design and operation of CPS” (EMBrACE) international ITEA 3 project. Together with IncQuery Labs and twenty partners, will work to create innovative engineering languages and tools to design complex digital systems.

Previous projects
From FP4 to H2020EU collaborative projects (EEMCN, FUTEG, HIDE, DECOS, RESIST, Sensoria, Deserec, Diana, Hidenets, SafeDMI, Amber, Genesys, Mogentes, SecureChange, E-freight, R3-COP, CECRIS, Concerto, MONDO, R5-COP...) and national research grants (MTA Lendület, ERC_HU, OTKA...)

ADVANCE
Addressing V&V Challenges in Future CPSThe “Addressing Verification and Validation Challenges in Future Cyber-Physical Systems” (ADVANCE) H2020 RISE research project has started this year with the participation of researchers from our research group working on the challenges of future cyber-physical systems. The project runs for 4 years, and its total budget is € 657 800.

Arrowhead Tools
European investment for Digitalisation LeadershipWith the participation of BME TMIT and ftsrg, the „Arrowhead Tools” H2020 ECSEL project has started, which is the largest European industrial digitalization and automation R&D project. The project has more than 80 partners including AITIA, evopro Innovation and IncQuery Labs.

Blockchain
Blockchain for the Decision MakerIn cooperation with EIT Digital Professional School, we developed a series of professional courses that helps decision makers in strategic planning for enhancing existing workflows with blockchain technologies or developing innovative new services based on distributed ledgers.

IEEE T Software Eng 2020
Automated Generation of Consistent Graph Models with Multiplicity Reasoning
We designed a new method to solve optimization problems during graph generations according to various object functions.

IEEE Access 2020
Using Fault Injection to Assess Blockchain Systems in Presence of Faulty Smart Contracts
In a collaboration with University of Coimbra, we recommended a method to assess the dependability of blockchain systems.

Inform Software Tech 2020
Automated Isolation for White-box Test Generation
We developed a tool and a method to automatically generate mock environments to isolate the tested model during code-based test generation.

J Autom Reasoning 2020
Efficient Strategies for CEGAR-Based Model Checking
We developed efficient algorithms to improve CEGAR-based model checking, which were successfully evaluated on verifying embedded and C code.
Tools
Gamma statechart composition framework
The Gamma modeling toolset helps to design and formally verify component-based reactive systems and can generate implementations automatically.
Theta model checking framework
The Theta model checking framework is a collection of modern, abstraction refinement-based algorithms, which can be tailored to the give problem due to their configurability.
VIATRA Solver graphgenerator framework
VIATRA Solver is a framework, which can automatically and efficiently generate consistent and diverse graphs from domain-specific models.
