Associate Prof. Ingo Sander
Homepage
ingo@imit.kth.se
I am part of the System, Architecture and Methodology (SAM) group. My main research
interest is the development of the ForSyDe (Formal System Design) methodology, which
I develop together with Axel Jantsch, Tarvo Raudvere, Zhonghai Lu and Jun Zhu. The
ForSyDe-methodology is developed for system design. The design process starts with a
synchronous, functional system model, that is based on the concept of process
constructors and modeled in the functional language Haskell. The system model is then
further refined by design transformation and later synthesized into a combined
HW/SW-architecture. Currently the best documentation on the ForSyDe methodoly is my
PhD Thesis.
