Mission

The mission of the Overture project is twofold:

The Overture Community

The Overture tools are being developed by volunteers from industry, research scientists and students, currently from Denmark, England, The Netherlands and Japan. You can find an overview of us at our wiki page

Anyone interested (from both industry and academia) is welcome to join the project as an active member. You might be interested in contributing directly to tools building (via our Overture open source project at Github), or you may be interested in developing the formal foundations of VDM++ and Overture. If you are a student (BSc, MSc, PhD), we can provide practical and theoretical projects!

Overture community at large

The Overture community at large (shown above at the 8th Overture workshop on language semantics, held at BCS, London in september 2010) meets together at occasional Workshops (about once per year) and monthly via on-line Netmeetings using Skype. If you want to join the project please do not hesitate to send us an e-mail.

Overture Community Process

In the tradition of open source software development, all contributions to Overture, the language definitions and other aspects, are handled through the Overture Community Process (OCP). The Language Board (LB) has elaborated on the “Initial Consideration” Phase of the OCP and this process is described as the Language Board Process (LBP) description.
