High levels of safety, security and also privacy standards require the use of formal methods to specify and develop compliant software (sub)systems. Any standard comes with an assessment process, which requires a complete documentation of the application to ease the justification of design choices and the review of code and proofs.
Ideally, an F-IDE dedicated to such developments should comply with several requirements. The first one is to associate a logical theory with a programming language, in a way that facilitates the tightly coupled handling of specification properties and program constructs. The second is to offer a language/environment simple enough to be usable by most developers, even if they are not fully acquainted with higher-order logics or set theory, in particular by making development of proofs as easy as possible. The third is to offer automated management of application documentation. It may also be expected that developments done with such an F-IDE are reusable and modular. Tools for testing and static analysis may be embedded within F-IDEs to support the assessment process.
The workshop is open to contributions on all aspects of a system development process, including specification, design, implementation, analysis and documentation. It welcomes the presentation of tools, methods, techniques and experiments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
KeY is a deductive software verification approach and system, whose most elaborate version targets Java programs. In a recent KeY case study, which attracted attention also outside formal method circles, verification with KeY could reveal a bug in the main sorting routine of OpenJDK. While this talk will also cover the user interface of KeY, the focus of the discussion is more fundamental. KeY follows to a significant extent principles which are different from other deductive verification systems, on the level of the program logic, the proof calculus, the interaction with the prover, the transparency of proofs, and the usage of back-end solvers. In this talk, I will discuss the impact of these aspects, with a special focus on usability. In addition, we will look at how the design of the logic and calculus influenced the integration with other validation techniques, like test generation and runtime verification.
Wolfgang Ahrendt is professor at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Karlsruhe in 2001. His work focuses on topics related to deductive software verification. He is one of the people behind the source code level verification approach and tool called KeY, and co-published the recent ‘KeY book’. Among others, he also worked on compositional verification of distributed objects, on combining static and runtime verification, and lately on smart contract verification. He is PC co-chair of the iFM conference, December 2019.
Submitted papers will follow the FM 2019 Format and Submission Guidelines. Authors are invited to submit the following types of contributions:
Submissions can be made through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fide2019.
Two kinds of submissions will be considered: normal paper (15 pages including bibliography), and shorter papers describing work in progress and preliminary results (6 pages including bibliography). Submitted papers should follow EPTCS format (http://style.eptcs.org/).
All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. They must describe original contributions whose main results and conclusions have not been published or submitted elsewhere. Preliminary proceedings, including all the papers selected for the workshop, will be available electronically at the workshop. Post proceedings will be proposed for publication with Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).
