This paper reports on the development and formal certification (proof of semantic preservation) of a compiler from Cminor (a Clike imperative language) to PowerPC assembly code, u...
We investigate the logical issues behind axiomatizing equations that contain both recursive calls and quantifiers in ACL2. We identify a class of such equations, named extended ta...
We argue that lightweight, language-based verification is poised to enter mainstream industrial use, where it will have a major impact on software quality and reliability. We expl...
We present a novel algorithm for test data generation that is based on techniques used in formal software verification. Prominent examples of such formal techniques are symbolic ex...
The need of formal verification is a problem that involves all the fields in which sensible data are managed. In this context the verification of data streams became a fundamental...
