Nominator's project description

Professor Kučera is an international authority in computer-assisted verification and synthesis of computer systems. He has made important contributions to the theory of process algebras, the analysis of probabilistic systems and the application of game-theoretic techniques to verification and synthesis problems. In Germany, he will study algorithms for the analysis of specific resources and security games with exciting potential applications to the design of resource-aware components and to computer security.
