Concurrency and distribution pose algorithmic and implementation challenges in developing reliable distributed systems, making the field an excellent testbed for evaluating programming language and verification paradigms. Several specialized domain-specifi ...
The process of verifying that a program conforms to its specification is often hampered by errors in both the program and the specification. A runtime checker that can evaluate formal specifications can be useful for quickly identifying such errors. This p ...
With Java 5 and C-# 2.0, first-order parametric polymorphism was introduced in mainstream object-oriented programming languages under the name of generics. Although the first- order variant of generics is very useful, it also imposes some restrictions: it ...
Separation logic is a popular approach for specifying properties of recursive mutable data structures. Several existing systems verify a subclass of separation logic specifications using static analysis techniques. Checking data structure specifications du ...
We present a new method for automatic generation of loop invariants for programs containing arrays. Unlike all previously known methods, our method allows one to generate first-order invariants containing alternations of quantifiers. The method is based on ...

The present article evaluates the knowledge that can be attributed to the application of « Best Practices » in the field of urban habitat. It especially aims at identifying the conditions of innovation in such a setting, as well as defining the necessary c ...

The search for proof and the search for counterexamples (bugs) are complementary activities that need to be pursued concurrently in order to maximize the practical success rate of verification tools. While this is well-understood in safety verification, th ...
An important application of unique object references is safe and efficient message passing in concurrent object-oriented programming. However, to prevent the ill effects of aliasing, practical systems often severely restrict the shape of messages passed by ...
