Verifying multi-threaded programs is becoming more and more important, because of the strong trend to increase the number of processing units per CPU socket. We introduce a new configurable program analysis for verifying multi-threaded…

Bounded model checking (BMC) is vital for finding program property violations. For unsafe programs, BMC can quickly find an execution path from an initial state to the violated state that refutes a given safety property. However, BMC…

In this paper we promote introducing software verification and control flow graph similarity measurement in automated evaluation of students' programs. We present a new grading framework that merges results obtained by combination of these…

The complexity of software in embedded systems has increased significantly over the last years so that software verification now plays an important role in ensuring the overall product quality. In this context, SAT-based bounded model…

This paper presents Efficient SMT-Based Context-Bounded Model Checker (ESBMC) v7.6, an extended version based on previous work on ESBMC v7.3 by K. Song et al. The v7.3 introduced a new Clang-based C++ front-end to address the challenges…

Modern software development reuses code by importing libraries as dependencies. Software projects typically include an average of 36 dependencies, with 80% being transitive, meaning they are dependencies of dependencies. Recent research…

Propositional bounded model checking has been applied successfully to verify embedded software but is limited by the increasing propositional formula size and the loss of structure during the translation. These limitations can be reduced by…

Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools are software applications used by engineers in the design, development, simulation, and verification of electronic systems and integrated circuits. These tools typically process specifications…

Developers face a wide choice of programming languages and libraries supporting multicore computing. Ever more diverse paradigms for expressing parallelism and synchronization become available while their influence on usability and…

Binary code similarity detection (BCSD) is a fundamental technique for various application. Many BCSD solutions have been proposed recently, which mostly are embedding-based, but have shown limited accuracy and efficiency especially when…

Proponents of software verification have argued that simpler code is easier to verify: that is, that verification tools issue fewer false positives and require less human intervention when analyzing simpler code. We empirically validate…

Model comparison is the cornerstone of theoretical progress in psychological research. Common practice overwhelmingly relies on tools that evaluate competing models by balancing in-sample descriptive adequacy against model flexibility, with…

The complexity of modern software has led to a drastic increase in the time and cost associated with detecting and rectifying software bugs. In response, researchers have explored various methods to automatically generate fixes for buggy…

The study group on data preservation in high energy physics, DPHEP, is moving to a new collaboration structure, which will focus on the implementation of preservation projects, such as those described in the group's large scale report…

Semiconductor companies have increasingly adopted a methodology that starts with a system-level design specification in C/C++/SystemC. This model is extensively simulated to ensure correct functionality and performance. Later, a Register…

--- Portuguese version As falhas de software est\~ao com frequ\^encia associadas a acidentes com graves consequ\^encias econ\'omicas e/ou humanas, pelo que se torna imperioso investir na valida\c{c}\~ao do software, nomeadamente daquele que…

In the past two decades, significant research and development effort went into the development of verification tools for individual languages, such asC, C++, and Java. Many of the used verification approaches are in fact language-agnostic…

Identifying vulnerabilities in source code is crucial, especially in critical software components. Existing methods such as static analysis, dynamic analysis, formal verification, and recently Large Language Models are widely used to detect…

Program verification on concurrent programs is a big challenge due to general undecidable results. Petri nets and its extensions are used in most works. However, existing verifiers based on Petri nets are difficult to be complete and…

Test or prove? These two approaches to software verification have long been presented as opposites. One is dynamic, the other static: a test executes the program, a proof only analyzes the program text. A different perspective is emerging,…
