We describe a system for the automated certification of safety properties of NASA software. The system uses Hoare-style program verification technology to generate proof obligatio...
Hilbert’s concept of formal proof is an ideal of rigour for mathematics which has important applications in mathematical logic, but seems irrelevant for the practice of mathemati...
Verification conditions (VCs) are logical formulae whose validity implies the correctness of a program with respect to a specification. The technique of checking software properti...
Interpolation is an important technique in verification and static analysis of programs. In particular, interpolants extracted from proofs of various properties are used in invar...
We overview the development of first-order automated reasoning systems starting from their early years. Based on the analysis of current and potential applications of such systems...
