Automated fixing of programs with contracts
In program debugging, finding a failing run is only the first step; what about correcting the
fault? Can we automate the second task as well as the first? The AutoFix-E tool …

Inferring loop invariants by mutation, dynamic analysis, and static checking
Verifiers that can prove programs correct against their full functional specification require, for
programs with loops, additional annotations in the form of loop invariants-properties that …

What good are strong specifications?
Experience with lightweight formal methods suggests that programmers are willing to write
specification if it brings tangible benefits to their usual development activities. This paper …
