If autonomous vehicles are to be widely accepted, we need to ensure their safe operation. For this reason, verification and validation (V&V) approaches must be developed that are suitable for this domain. Model checking is a formal…

Predicting program behavior and reasoning about code execution remain significant challenges in software engineering, particularly for large language models (LLMs) designed for code analysis. While these models excel at understanding static…

The paper combines research approaches that traditionally have been disjoint: 1) model checking as used in formal verification of programs, and 2) auto-tuning as often used in high-performance computing. Auto-tuning frameworks optimize…

As the complexity of System-on-Chip (SoC) designs grows, the shift-left paradigm necessitates the rapid development of high-fidelity reference models (typically written in SystemC) for early architecture exploration and verification. While…

This article introduces a fully automated verification technique that permits to analyze real-time systems described using a continuous notion of time and a mixture of operational (i.e., automata-based) and descriptive (i.e., logic-based)…

Automated GUI testing is crucial in ensuring that presentation logic behaves as expected. However, existing tools often apply end-to-end approaches and face challenges such as high specification efforts, maintenance difficulties, and flaky…

An emerging branch of control theory specialises in certificate learning, concerning the specification of a desired (possibly complex) system behaviour for an autonomous or control model, which is then analytically verified by means of a…

The test is one of the approaches commonly used for validating systems to ensure qualitative and quantitative implementation requirements. In this paper, we interest in formal testing using graph transformation, thus we propose an approach…

A code clone is a pair of code fragments, within or between software systems that are similar. Since code clones often negatively impact the maintainability of a software system, several code clone detection techniques and tools have been…

Agentic vision-language models are increasingly trained to "think with images" by calling image operations. However, we show that high final-answer accuracy often hides unfaithful visual reasoning: models may invoke tools on irrelevant…

We address the verification problem for concurrent program that dynamically create (fork) new threads or destroy (join) existing threads. We present a reduction to the verification problem for concurrent programs with a fixed number of…

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the verification of business process models. Despite their lack of formal characterization, these models are widely adopted in both industry and academia. To address this issue,…

The possibility of errors in human-engineered formal verification software, such as model checkers, poses a serious threat to the purpose of these tools. An established approach to mitigate this problem are certificates -- lightweight,…

This paper discusses how model checking, a technique used for the verification of behavioural requirements of dynamic systems, can be usefully deployed for the verification of contracts. A process view of agreements between parties is…

Agile development processes and component-based software architectures are two software engineering approaches that contribute to enable the rapid building and evolution of applications. Nevertheless, few approaches have proposed a…

Embedded systems interaction with environment inherently complicates understanding of requirements and their correct implementation. However, product uncertainty is highest during early stages of development. Design verification is an…

While recent generative models advance pixel-space video synthesis, they remain limited in producing professional educational videos, which demand disciplinary knowledge, precise visual structures, and coherent transitions, limiting their…

For all the successes in verifying low-level, efficient, security-critical code, little has been said or studied about the structure, architecture and engineering of such large-scale proof developments. We present the design, implementation…

This paper describes use of model checking to verify synchronisation properties of an industrial welding system consisting of a cobot arm and an external turntable. The robots must move synchronously, but sometimes get out of…

This paper presents the use of testing, credible compilation/translation validation, verification, and audits in the Axon compiler. Axon comes with fully machine checked proofs that guarantee the correctness of the generated code. All code…
