Why don't we broaden this discussion into a survey of formal methods around the
world? I can report that I am researching an MSc thesis in a formal-methods
area, in South Africa, at the University of Cape Town. If by `Formal Methods'
you include semantics, then we have a group of two research leaders and 7 grad
students working in this area. We are the only such group in the country,
however.
