Abstract Development of formal proofs of correctness of programs can increase actual and
perceived reliability and facilitate better understanding of program specifications and their …

We introduce our efforts within the project 'The science of deep specification'to work out the
key formal underpinnings of industrial-scale formal specifications of software and hardware …

This paper presents a framework aimed at significantly reducing the cost of proving
functional correctness for low-level operating systems components. The framework is …

During my Master's degree, I never had the intention of pursuing a PhD. I valued industry
