Academic artefacts

My research often results in libraries, tools or extensions of existing projects. Below is a non-comprehensive list of my contributions.

  • The Timed Automata-based tool Uppaal, in particular the Uppaal Stratego branch for automatic (near optimal) controller synthesis.
  • The Timed-Arc Petri Net tool Tapaal, in particular the discrete-timed engine (verifydtapn) and the untimed engine (verifypn) for verification of CTL, LTL and controller synthesis.
  • The Pushdown Automata verification library PDAAAL used in the AALWINES tool for network verificaiton.

Non-academic software

As of 2013, I have released an Android and a iPhone app for finding shelter in the wild (Denmark only). The app is called Shelter and has been developed in colaboration with Nicolaj Skafsgaard.
