Semantics, Synchronous Languages and Model-based Design
Advisors: Steven Smyth, Alexander Schulz-Rosengarten, Lena Grimm, Reinhard v. Hanxleden
Synchronous languages are well-established for the design of embedded, in particular safety-critical systems.

Specifically, we explore the paradigm of "sequential constructiveness" for reconciling familiar, imperative programming concepts with the sound grounding of synchronous languages. One language we have developed to try out and validate our concepts is the SCCharts language, which keeps evolving and thus offers many opportunities for student theses.
