Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The paper presents an experience of verifying a large scale, real-life dataset describing various aspects of railway station design. We discuss how a number of assorted digital artefacts were pooled together and converted into a set-theoretic model over which a type inference procedure is run. The typed model is then used to confirm or contradict logical conjectures over data elements. We employ a number of state-of-the-art SMT solvers as a verification back-end. The project is ongoing but has already identified a number of issues in topology definition and signalling data that were missed by other automated tests and not revealed by simulation tools.
