In the VeyMont tool, choreographies can be used to specify concurrent programs using a sequential format. To support choreography-based development, VeyMont verifies a given choreography for functional correctness and memory safety, and ...

Deductive verification is often more efficient than alternative techniques like model checking at reasoning about functional properties of programs. This is especially true when the program under verification contains very large or unbounded data ...

SYCL is a C++ programming model for the development of heterogeneous programs. It uses the concept of kernels, where multiple instances of a computation are executed concurrently on a computing unit. This concurrency entails that the set of ...

Given the inherent reliance of distributed systems on concurrent programming, coupled with increased hardware concurrency and diversity, ensuring their reliability, safety, and security without compromising performance has become exceedingly ...

We motivate and summarise the track SpecifyThis – Bridging gaps between program specification paradigms, taking place at the International Symposium on Leveraging Applications of Formal Methods, ISoLA 2024.

This paper describes a case study to verify memory safety of a radio telescope pipeline, which was targeted with the PADRE project of Astron, SURF and the Netherlands eScienceCenter. As performance is important for this application, the ...

This paper gives an overview of the most recent developments on the VerCors verifier. VerCors is a deductive verifier for concurrent software, written in multiple programming languages, where the specifications are written in terms of pre-/...

Deductive verifiers require intensive user interaction in the form of writing precise specifications, thereby limiting their use in practice. While many solutions have been proposed to generate specifications, their evaluations and comparisons to ...

• A survey of tools that generate formal specifications for Java programs.
• Analysis of the impact of these tools on the overall specification writing process.
• Practical recommendations for the future development of inference tools.

We give a brief overview of the VerifyThis long-term challenge series. Goal of these challenges is to demonstrate practical value of formal methods, to evaluate the current tools on specifying and verifying requirements of realistic software ...

Over the last years, deductive program verifiers have substantially improved, and their applicability on non-trivial applications has been demonstrated. However, a major bottleneck is that for every new programming language, a new deductive ...

The HaliVer tool integrates deductive verification into the popular scheduling language Halide, used for image processing pipelines and array computations. HaliVer uses VerCors, a separation logic-based verifier, to verify the correctness of (1) ...

To stimulate the development and application of formal methods in industry, we need to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications, and we need to exchange experiences of the ...

Major strengths of deductive verification include modular verification and support for functional properties and unbounded parameters. However, in embedded systems, crucial safety properties often depend on concurrent process interactions, events, ...

Deductive verifiers can be used to prove the correctness of programs by specifying the program’s intended behaviour using annotations such as pre- and postconditions. Unfortunately, most verifiers use their own unique specification language for ...

We present “Verified JavaBIP”, a tool set for the verification of JavaBIP models. A JavaBIP model is a Java program where classes are considered as components, their behaviour described by finite state machine and synchronization annotations. ...

This paper presents a case study where a concurrent module of a tunnel control system written in Java is verified for memory safety and data race freedom using VerCors, a software verification tool. This case study was carried out in close ...

A major trend in computing during the last decade has been the ubiquity of distributed, heterogeneous systems that make use of multi-languages for implementation, or services delivered by IoT devices. Since all distributed systems must, by their ...
