Formalisms based on temporal logics interpreted over finite strict linear orders, known in the literature as finite traces, have been used for temporal specification in automated planning, process modelling, (runtime) verification and…

In this paper we present a novel rule-based approach for Runtime Verification of FLTL properties over finite but expanding traces. Our system exploits Horn clauses in implication form and relies on a forward chaining-based monitoring…

This paper proposes a method for deriving formal specifications of systems. To accomplish this task we pass through a non trivial number of steps, concepts and tools where the first one, the most important, is the concept of method itself,…

The dynamic software development organizations optimize the usage of resources to deliver the products in the specified time with the fulfilled requirements. This requires prevention or repairing of the faults as quick as possible. In this…

Error invariants are assertions that over-approximate the reachable program states at a given position in an error trace while only capturing states that will still lead to failure if execution of the trace is continued from that position.…

We propose a novel method for inferring refinement types of higher-order functional programs. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it can infer maximally preferred (i.e., Pareto optimal) refinement types with respect to a…

An enforcement mechanism monitors a reactive system for undesired behavior at runtime and corrects the system's output in case it violates the given specification. In this paper, we study the enforcement problem for hyperproperties, i.e.,…

We propose TOPL automata as a new method for runtime verification of systems with unbounded resource generation. Paradigmatic such systems are object-oriented programs which can dynamically generate an unbounded number of fresh object…

A resource leak occurs when a program fails to free some finite resource after it is no longer needed. Such leaks are a significant cause of real-world crashes and performance problems. Recent work proposed an approach to prevent resource…

In order to design and implement tracers, one must decide what exactly to trace and how to produce this trace. On the one hand, trace designs are too often guided by implementation concerns and are not as useful as they should be. On the…

Pluggable type systems allow programmers to extend the type system of a programming language to enforce semantic properties defined by the programmer. Pluggable type systems are difficult to deploy in legacy codebases because they require…

Rule-based run-time monitoring system for finite traces, with FLTL verdict and quadratic complexity.

This paper presents a proposal (story) of how statically detecting unreachable objects (in Java) could be used to improve a particular runtime verification approach (for Java), namely parametric trace slicing. Monitoring algorithms for…

Loop under-approximation is a technique that enriches C programs with additional branches that represent the effect of a (limited) range of loop iterations. While this technique can speed up the detection of bugs significantly, it…

Coverage Types provide a suitable type mechanism that integrates under-approximation logic to support Property-Based Testing. They are used to type the return value of a function that represents an input test generator. This allows us to…

We apply the principles of the intersection type discipline to the study of class-based object oriented programs and; our work follows from a similar approach (in the context of Abadi and Cardelli's Varsigma-object calculus) taken by van…

Generics have been added to Java so as to increase the expressiveness of its type system. Generics in Java, however, include some features---such as Java wildcards, $F$-bounded generics, and Java erasure---that have been hard to analyze and…

Dependent types provide a lightweight and modular means to integrate programming and formal program verification. In particular, the types of programs written in dependently typed programming languages (Agda, Idris, F*, etc.) can be used to…

Bounded linear types have proved to be useful for automated resource analysis and control in functional programming languages. In this paper we introduce an affine bounded linear typing discipline on a general notion of resource which can…

When scripts in untyped languages grow into large programs, maintaining them becomes difficult. A lack of explicit type annotations in typical scripting languages forces programmers to must (re)discover critical pieces of design information…
