Abstract Domain-specific languages (DSL) are programming or modeling languages
devoted to a given application domain. There are many tools used to support the …

This paper introduces corpus-guided top-down synthesis as a mechanism for synthesizing
library functions that capture common functionality from a corpus of programs in a domain …

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 …

It is a neat result from functional programming that libraries of parser combinators can
support rapid construction of decoders for quite a range of formats. With a little more work …

Reasoning about programs that use effects can be much harder than reasoning about their
pure counterparts. This paper presents a predicate transformer semantics for a variety of …

Automated deductive program synthesis promises to generate executable programs from
concise specifications, along with proofs of correctness that can be independently verified …

Software verification tools that build machine-checked proofs of functional correctness
usually focus on the algorithmic content of the code. Their proofs are not grounded in a …

Monadic programming is an essential component in the toolbox of functional programmers.
For the pure and total programmers, who sometimes navigate the waters of certified …

Runtime verification (RV) is a lightweight technique for verifying traces of computer systems.
One challenge in applying RV is to guarantee that the implementation of a runtime monitor …
