Behavioral interface specification languages provide formal code-level annotations, such as
preconditions, postconditions, invariants, and assertions that allow programmers to express …

• There are IDEs for KeY, including an Eclipse extension, that make it easy to keep track of
proof obligations in larger projects [Hentschel et al., 2014c].• A stripped down version of …

This paper describes a compositional shape analysis, where each procedure is analyzed
independently of its callers. The analysis uses an abstract domain based on a restricted …

The accurate and efficient treatment of mutable data structures is one of the outstanding
problem areas in automatic program verification and analysis. Shape analysis is a form of …

Static analysis tools have demonstrated effectiveness at finding bugs in real world code.
Such tools are increasingly widely adopted to improve software quality in practice …

We present an overview of Clousot, our current tool to statically check CodeContracts.
CodeContracts enable a compiler and language-independent specification of Contracts …

Dynamic symbolic execution (DSE) has been proposed to effectively generate test inputs for
real-world programs. Unfortunately, DSE techniques do not scale well for large realistic …

We present a language-independent verification framework that can be instantiated with an
operational semantics to automatically generate a program verifier. The framework treats …

Separation logic (SL) has gained widespread popularity because of its ability to succinctly
express complex invariants of a program's heap configurations. Several specialized provers …

Advanced multi-threaded programs apply concurrency concepts in sophisticated ways. For
instance, they use fine-grained locking to increase parallelism and change locking orders …
