Compiler correctness is a cornerstone of reliable software development. However, systematic testing of compilers is infeasible, given the vast space of possible programs and the complexity of modern programming languages. In this context,…

Bounded Model Checking (BMC) is a widely used software verification technique. Despite its successes, the technique has several limiting factors, from state-space explosion to lack of completeness. Over the years, interval analysis has…

Realizing a conceptual quantum algorithm on an actual physical device necessitates the algorithm's quantum circuit description to undergo certain transformations in order to adhere to all constraints imposed by the hardware. In this regard,…

Background: Since Google introduced Kotlin as an official programming language for developing Android apps in 2017, Kotlin has gained widespread adoption in Android development. The inter-operability of Java and Kotlin's design nature…

LLMs have been extensively used for the task of automated code generation. In this work, we examine the applicability of LLMs for the related but relatively unexplored task of code-equivalence checking, i.e., given two programs, whether…

This paper describes Mull, an open-source tool for mutation testing based on the LLVM framework. Mull works with LLVM IR, a low-level intermediate representation, to perform mutations, and uses LLVM JIT for just-in-time compilation. This…

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…

This paper addresses the validation of electric vehicle supply equipment by means of a real-time capable co-simulation approach. This setup implies both pure software and real-time simulation tasks with different sampling rates dependent on…

Clearly articulating the assumptions of the execution environment is crucial for the successful application of code-level formal verification. The process of specifying a model for the environment can be both laborious and error-prone,…

The implementation of digital filters in processors based on fixed-point arithmetic can lead to problems related to the finite word-length. In particular, the processing of signals in such filters can produce overflows and unwanted noise…

Motivation: This paper presents libRoadRunner 2.0, an extensible, high-performance, cross-platform, open-source software library for the simulation and analysis of models expressed using Systems Biology Markup Language SBML). Results:…

Program verification is a resource-hungry task. This paper looks at the problem of parallelizing SMT-based automated program verification, specifically bounded model-checking, so that it can be distributed and executed on a cluster of…

We develop a new intermediate weak memory model, IMM, as a way of modularizing the proofs of correctness of compilation from concurrent programming languages with weak memory consistency semantics to mainstream multi-core architectures,…

It is often difficult to write code that you can ensure will be executed in the right order when programing for parallel compute tasks. Due to the way that today's parallel compute hardware, primarily Graphical Processing Units (GPUs),…

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…

MoXI is a new intermediate verification language introduced in 2024 to promote the standardization and open-source implementations for symbolic model checking by extending the SMT-LIB 2 language with constructs to define state-transition…

Similar to other programming models, compilers for SYCL, the open programming model for heterogeneous computing based on C++, would benefit from access to higher-level intermediate representations. The loss of high-level structure and…

This paper presents libRoadRunner, an extensible, high-performance, cross-platform, open-source software library for the simulation and analysis of models \ expressed using Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML). SBML is the most widely…

In theorem prover or SMT solver based verification, the program to be verified is often given in an intermediate verification language such as Boogie, Why, or CHC. This setting raises new challenges. We investigate a preprocessing step…

Stateless Model Checking (SMC) is a verification technique for concurrent programs that checks for safety violations by exploring all possible thread schedulings. It is highly effective when coupled with Dynamic Partial Order Reduction…
