Program verification as probabilistic inference
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...

Engineering with logic: HOL specification and symbolic-evaluation testing for TCP implementations
The TCP/IP protocols and Sockets API underlie much of modern computation, but their semantics have historically been very complex and ill-defined. The real standard is the de fact...
