The last decade has seen a dramatic growth in the use of constraint solvers as a
computational mechanism, not only for analysis of software, but also at runtime. Solvers are …

This research idea paper proposes leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance
the productivity of Dafny developers. Although the use of verification-aware languages, such …

Relational algebra offers to software engineering the same degree of conciseness and
calculational power as linear algebra in other engineering disciplines. Binary relations play …

We describe our experience using magic card tricks to teach algorithmic skills to first-year
Computer Science undergraduates. We illustrate our approach with a detailed discussion on …

Despite great advances in computer-assisted proof systems, writing formal proofs using a
traditional computer is still challenging due to mouse-and-keyboard interaction. This leads to …

Teaching effectively requires a clear presentation of the material being taught and
interaction with the students. Studies have shown that Tablet PCs provide a good …

The last decade has seen a dramatic growth in the use of constraint solvers as a
computational mechanism, not only for analysis and synthesis of software, but also at …

This thesis attempts to unite and consolidate two large and often culturally disjoint
programming paradigms: declarative (focusing on specifying what a program is supposed to …

This paper shows by examples how the Theory of Programming can be taught to first-year
CS undergraduates. The only prerequisite is their High School acquaintance with algebra …

Algorithmic problem solving is a way of approaching and solving problems by using the
advances that have been made in the principles of correct-by-construction algorithm design …
