There is increasing interest in applying verification tools to programs that have bitvector operations. SMT solvers, which serve as a foundation for these tools, have thus increased support for bitvector reasoning through bit-blasting and…

Writing accurate numerical software is hard because of many sources of unavoidable uncertainties, including finite numerical precision of implementations. We present a programming model where the user writes a program in a real-valued…

Logs of real-life processes often feature uncertainty pertaining the recorded timestamps, data values, and/or events. We consider the problem of checking conformance of uncertain logs against data-aware reference processes. Specifically, we…

Solidity is the dominant programming language for Ethereum smart contracts. This paper presents a high-level formalization of the Solidity language with a focus on the memory model. The presented formalization covers all features of the…

We present VMT-LIB, a language for the representation of verification problems of linear-time temporal properties on infinite-state symbolic transition systems. VMT-LIB is an extension of the standard SMT-LIB language for SMT solvers,…

We present three projects concerned with applications of proof assistants in the area of programming language theory and mathematics. The first project is about a certified compilation technique for a domain-specific programming language…

The draft paper defines a system, which is capable of maintaining bases of test cases for logical specifications. The specifications, which are subject to this system are transformed from their original shape in first-order logic to…

A novel model-based approach to verify dynamic networks is proposed; the approach consists in formally describing the network topology and dynamic link parameters. A many sorted first order logic formula is constructed to check the model…

Generating and voting multiple answers is an effective method to mitigate reasoning inconsistencies of large language models (LLMs). Prior works have shown that multiple reasoning formats outperform a single format when generating multiple…

Verifying software correctness has always been an important and complicated task. Recently, formal proofs of critical properties of algorithms and even implementations are becoming practical. Currently, the most powerful automated proof…

Formal verification has recently been increasingly used to prove the correctness and security of many applications. It is attractive because it can prove the absence of errors with the same certainty as mathematicians proving theorems.…

Guidance on how to validate computational text-based measures of social constructs is fragmented. While researchers generally acknowledge the importance of validating text-based measures, they often lack a shared vocabulary and a unified…

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated formidable capabilities in solving mathematical problems, yet they may still commit logical reasoning and computational errors during the problem-solving process. Thus, this paper proposes a…

System-level test, or SLT, is an increasingly important process step in today's integrated circuit testing flows. Broadly speaking, SLT aims at executing functional workloads in operational modes. In this paper, we consolidate available…

All solutions SAT (AllSAT for short) is a variant of propositional satisfiability problem. Despite its significance, AllSAT has been relatively unexplored compared to other variants. We thus survey and discuss major techniques of AllSAT…

Ensuring correctness is crucial for code generation. Formal verification offers a definitive assurance of correctness, but demands substantial human effort in proof construction and hence raises a pressing need for automation. The primary…

This volume contains the revised versions of papers presented at the Fourth International Workshop on Verification and Program Transformation (VPT 2016) on April 2, 2016 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The workshop is an event of the…

Unit testing represents the foundational basis of the software testing pyramid, beneath integration and end-to-end testing. Automated software testing researchers have proposed a variety of techniques to assist developers in this…

One of the effective model checking methods is to utilize the efficient decision procedure of SAT (or SMT) solvers. In a SAT-based model checking, a system and its property are encoded into a set of logic formulas and the safety is checked…

\textit{Background:} The use of large language models in software testing is growing fast as they support numerous tasks, from test case generation to automation, and documentation. However, their adoption often relies on informal…
