I’m pleased to announce that the Usable Formal Methods Proposed Research Group has been chartered in the IRTF. The chairs are Jonathan Hoyland and Stephen Farrell.

This proposed research group aims to bring together the Internet protocol standards community and the academic research community studying formal methods of network protocol specification to share experience and ideas, and to understand the strengths and limitations of formal methods, including formal verification and analysis, for specification and implementation of algorithms, protocols, and systems specified in the IETF, and to understand how those techniques can be improved to better support such specifications.

You can find more details about the group, including links to the charter and mailing list, at https://datatracker.ietf.org/rg/ufmrg/about/
