Formal verification & Petri Nets
Grupo de Pesquisa
The Formal Verification & Petri Nets Group is concerned with the use of formal approaches to Engineering Design -, especially to automated systems. The goal is to develop methods for analysis and design associated with Model-Based Engineering using Petri Nets (PN). We use PN-approaches based on the standard ISO/IEC 15.909, which defines classic Place/Transition nets and High-Level Nets, a transfer language - PNML - and several user extensions. The main goal is focused on extensions and its formalization following the standard.
Extensions are hierarchy, time slice, and Time Petri Nets. Verification approaches can be based on model-checking, property analysis, and/or invariants.
Applications would include embedded information systems and (discrete) control, workflow, and to particular domains such as Smart Homes or Smart Grids.

Javier Martinez Silva
javier.cu@gmail.comGraduated in Computer Science from Universidad de Oriente, Cuba and received a Master in Computer Science from this same institution. Ph.D. in Mechatronics (Mechanical Control and Automation) from Escola Politécnica, USP, working with D-Lab. Postdoc in D-Lab, where he also acted on implementing the USP-AWS agreement. His research interests are in formal methods for modeling and analysis of requirements in automation projects and working with AI Planning to design modeling. Worked in the Samsung Research Center and is now working in Instituto Eldorado, another research institution linking the academy and the market.
José Jean-Paul Z. S. Tavares
jean.tavares@ufu.brGraduated as a Mechanical Engineer at Escola Politécnica da USP and concluded a Master in Science and a Ph.D. at the same institutions. His research interests are in industrial process automation and IIoT, focusing on the identification of industrial targets using RFID. Studied the process of blank manufacturing to identify faults even before the IIoT term became popular. In his postdoc (also in D-Lab) started to improve more information in target identification enhancing local memory and including process information in Petri Net, composing a new tagged net, and adding AI Planning to the process. Today he is an Adjunct professor at the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, leading the Manufacturing Automation Planning Lab.
Matheus Alexandrino Brito
matheus.a.brito12@usp.brMatheus is a undergad student in the Mechatronics course and has a scholarship from USP, associated to D-Lab. His interests are in automation processes, particularly those involving Artificial Intelligence and AI Planning. Therefore, he join the research line in AI Planning and Machine Intelligence and do the project DiPlant (Didatic Planning Tool) - a system for analyzing plans (or post-planning) expected to be used in the undergrad course PMR3510 Inteligência Artificial.
