Answer set programming (ASP) and planning are two widely used paradigms for solving logic programs with declarative programming. In both cases, the quality of the input programs has a major influence on the quality and performance of the…
Product Data Management (PDM) aims to provide 'Systems' contributing in industries by electronically maintaining organizational data, improving data repository system, facilitating with easy access to CAD and providing additional…
Computers may control safety-critical operations in machines having embedded software. This memoir proposes a regimen to verify such algorithms at prescribed levels of statistical confidence. The United States Department of Defense standard…
A hallmark of object-oriented programming is the ability to perform computation through a set of interacting objects. A common manifestation of this style is the notion of a package, which groups a set of commonly used classes together. A…
Formal methods play a fundamental role in asserting the correctness of requirements specifications. However, historically, formal method experts have primarily focused on verifying those specifications. Although equally important,…
Context: Test-driven development (TDD) is an agile software development approach that has been widely claimed to improve software quality. However, the extent to which TDD improves quality appears to be largely dependent upon the…
A recent study of bugs in real-world concurrent and distributed systems found that, while implementations of individual protocols tend to be robust, the composition of multiple protocols and its interplay with internal computation is the…
Process-Centered Software Engineering Environments (PSEE) have recently attracted a large number of researchers. In such environments the software processes are explicitly described and interpreted by the PSEE, allowing software activities…
Large language models can generate plausible code, but remain brittle for formal verification in proof assistants such as Lean. A central scalability challenge is that verified synthesis requires consistent artifacts across several coupled…
Technical Debt (TD) refers to the situation where developers make trade-offs to achieve short-term goals at the expense of long-term code quality, which can have a negative impact on the quality of software systems. In the context of code…
The current structure-centric paradigm in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven materials discovery, despite delivering thousands of candidate structures, is stalling at a critical barrier: the synthesizability gap. We argue that closing this…
Deploying large language model-based code generation in real-world client-side development remains challenging due to heterogeneous inputs, strict engineering constraints, and complex interaction logic expressed in product requirement…
Enterprise software supply chains are increasingly vulnerable to infrastructure attacks, resulting in financial and reputational damage. Ensuring the integrity and provenance of software artifacts remains a significant challenge, where…
In dependently typed programming, proofs of basic, structural properties can be embedded implicitly into programs and do not need to be written explicitly. Besides saving the effort of writing separate proofs, a most distinguishing and…
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…
As autonomous AI agents are used in regulated and safety-critical settings, organizations need effective ways to turn policy into enforceable controls. We introduce a regulatory machine learning framework that converts unstructured design…
Test or prove? These two approaches to software verification have long been presented as opposites. One is dynamic, the other static: a test executes the program, a proof only analyzes the program text. A different perspective is emerging,…
Implementing correct distributed systems is an error-prone task. Runtime Verification (RV) offers a lightweight formal method to improve reliability by monitoring system executions against correctness properties. However, applying RV in…
Among formal methods, the deductive verification approach allows establishing the strongest possible formal guarantees on critical software. The downside is the cost in terms of human effort required to design adequate formal specifications…
Property Directed Reachability (\textsc{Pdr}), also known as IC3, is a state-of-the-art model checking algorithm widely used for verifying safety properties. While \textsc{Pdr} is effective in finding inductive invariants, its underlying…
