Grading

The grade is based on the written mid-term, as well as code, documentation, and explanation of projects during the semester. Specific percentages will be communicated in the first class and posted here.

The types of graded materials will include:

  • 40% Late mid-term written exam in November (see this folder with past exams)
  • 20% total: four-five labs, to be done in groups, each group working independently on same projects
  • 40% final project to be done in groups, you will choose a topic with our agreement
    • 10% Written presentation of a background paper
    • 10% Results accomplished (how hard it was, how far you got)
    • 10% Presentation of results
    • 10% Final report

Content

In this course we introduce formal verification as a principled approach for developing systems that do what they should do.

The course has two aspects:

  • learning the practice of formal verification - how to use tools to construct verified software
  • understanding the principles behind formal verification and the ways in which verification tools work

The course will follow a similar structure to the 2023 edition. Project can be a case study in developing a verified piece of software, an implementation of verification tool functionality, or a theoretical result about verification, constraint solving or theorem proving. Students present their projects with a written report as well as by a live presentation of project results, answering our questions.

Note that slides can be found underneath each lecture video on switch tube linkes below.

Books

In the reading list below, HandAR-Ch.2 means Chapter 2 in the Handbook of Practical Logic and Automated Reasoning Above, whereas HandMC-Ch.9 means Chapter 9 of the Handbook of Model Checking, etc.
