Abstract. We introduce an extension of Hoare logic for call-by-value higherorder functions with ML-like local reference generation. Local references may be generated dynamically an...
Abstract. We present ABC, a software tool for automatically computing symbolic upper bounds on the number of iterations of nested program loops. The system combines static analysis...
The automated inference of quantified invariants is considered one of the next challenges in software verification. The question of the right precision-efficiency tradeoff for the...
In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for proving the validity or invalidity of a pre/postcondition pair for a program. The algorithm is motivated by the success of the algori...
The goal of this work is to treat safety and security policies as requirements to be composed in an aspectual style with a developing application. Policies can be expressed either...
