1. Rich Model Toolkit An Infrastructure for Reliable Computer Systems
The main objective of the Action is making automated reasoning techniques and tools applicable to a wider range of problems, as well as making them easier to use by researchers, software developers, hardware designers, and information system users and developers.

2. Reliability through Automated Reasoning about Rich Models
correctness
proofs
errors
analysis
tools
Rich Model
physical system
synthesis
tools
software & hardware
Our Approach

3. Current State of the Art
manual reasoning
about whole-system aspect
introduces errors
absence of software
run-time errors
specialized model 1
detect some common
structure defects
specialized model 2
specialized model 3
hardware
functional correctness
No End-To-End System Correctness

4. Unifying Role of Rich Models
automated reasoning
about whole-system aspects using
expressive logics
specialized model 1
TOOLKIT
detect some common
defects
tool 1
specialized model 2
tool 2
specialized model 3
tool 3
hardware
functional correctness
tool 4

5. Impact: from Critical to Everyday Computer Systems
recent cell phone crashes
due to software error

6. Impact: from Critical to Everyday Computer Systems
