Automated web application testing is a critical component of modern software development, with frameworks like Selenium widely adopted for validating functionality through browser automation. Among the essential aspects of such testing is…

Proof engineering is notoriously labor-intensive: proofs that are straightforward on paper often require lengthy scripts in theorem provers. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) create new opportunities for proof automation:…

Automatic software verification tools help to find hard-to-detect faults in programs checked against specified requirements non-interactively. Besides, they can prove program correctness formally under certain assumptions. These…

Researchers have recently designed a number of application-specific fault tolerance mechanisms that enable applications to either be naturally resilient to errors or include additional detection and correction steps that can bring the…

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly explored as general-purpose reasoners, particularly in agentic contexts. However, their outputs remain prone to mathematical and logical errors. This is especially challenging in open-ended…

We propose an approach for modular verification of programs written in an object-oriented language where, like in C++, the same virtual method call is bound to different methods at different points during the construction or destruction of…

Software correctness is ensured mathematically through formal verification, which involves the resources of generating formal requirement specifications and having an implementation that must be verified. Tools such as model-checkers and…

We introduce SimulBench, a benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) across a diverse collection of creative simulation scenarios, such as acting as a Linux terminal or playing text games with users. While these simulation…

This paper proposes the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for translating Request for Comments (RFC) protocol specifications into a format compatible with the Cryptographic Protocol Shapes Analyzer (CPSA). This novel approach aims to…

Local grammars can be represented in a very convenient way by automata. This paper describes and illustrates an efficient algorithm for the application of local grammars put in this form to lemmatized texts.

Implementing a complex concept as an executable model in a strongly typed, purely functional language hits a sweet spot between mere simulation and formal specification. For research and education it is often desirable to enrich the…

We recommend a programming construct - availability check - for programs that need to automatically adjust to presence or absence of segments of code. The idea is to check the existence of a valid definition before a function call is…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to automatically generate optimized CUDA kernels, substantially improving developer productivity. However, despite rapid generation, these kernels often contain subtle correctness bugs and…

Algorithm portfolio and selection approaches have achieved remarkable improvements over single solvers. However, the implementation of such systems is often highly customised and specific to the problem domain. This makes it difficult for…

Large language models (LLMs) are becoming more advanced and widespread and have shown their applicability to various domains, including cybersecurity. Static malware analysis is one of the most important tasks in cybersecurity; however, it…

Automated characterization of porous materials has the potential to accelerate materials discovery, but it remains limited by the complexity of simulation setup and force field selection. We propose a multi-agent framework in which…

We study induction on the program structure as a proof method for bisimulation-based compiler correctness. We consider a first-order language with mutually recursive function definitions, system calls, and an environment semantics. The…

The application of automatic theorem provers to discharge proof obligations is necessary to apply formal methods in an efficient manner. Tools supporting formal methods, such as Atelier~B, generate proof obligations fully automatically.…

Functional simulation is an essential step in digital hardware design. Recently, there has been a growing interest in leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) for hardware testbench generation tasks. However, the inherent instability…

While LLM-Based agents, which use external tools to solve complex problems, have made significant progress, benchmarking their ability is challenging, thereby hindering a clear understanding of their limitations. In this paper, we propose…
