Verified Software Theories Tools Experiments

This volume constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools and Experiments, VSTTE 2016, held in July 2016 in Toronto, ON, Canada. The 8 full papers together with 4 short papers and 5 invited papers presented were carefully revised and selected 21 submissions. The goal of the VSTTE conference is to advance thestate of the art through the interaction of theory development, tool evolution, and experimental validation.

This volume contains the proceedings of the second working conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments, VSTTE 2008, held in Toronto, Canada, in October 2008. The 16 papers presented together with 4 invited talks were carefully revised and selected for inclusion in the book. This second conference formally inaugurates the Verified Software Initiative (VSI), a fifteen-year, co-operative, international project directed at the scientific challenges of large-scale software verification. The scope of the cooperative effort includes the sharing and interoperability of tools, the alignment of theory and practice, the identification of challenge problems, the construction of benchmark suites, and the execution of large-scale experiments.

This volume constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments, VSTTE 2018, held in Oxford, UK, in July 2018. The 19 full papers presented were carefully revised and selected from 24 submissions. The papers describe large-scale verification efforts that involve collaboration, theory unification, tool integration, and formalized domain knowledge as well as novel experiments and case studies evaluating verification techniques and technologies.

This volume constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools and Experiments, VSTTE 2014, held in July 2014 at the Vienna Summer of Logic in Vienna, Austria, as an associated event of CAV 2014, the International Conference on Computer-Aided Verification. The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully revised and selected from 34 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections such as analysis: understanding and explanation; verification frameworks and applications; hypervisors and dynamic data structures; certification; real time and security.

This volume constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments, VSTTE 2017, held in Heidelberg, Germany, in July 2017. The 12 full papers presented were carefully revised and selected from 20 submissions. The papers describe large-scale verification efforts that involve collaboration, theory unification, tool integration, and formalized domain knowledge as well as novel experiments and case studies evaluating verification techniques and technologies.

This volume contains the proceedings of the third working conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments, VSTTE 2010, held in Edinburgh, UK, in August 2010. The 11 papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully revised and selected for inclusion in the book. This third conference is part of the Verified Software Initiative (VSI), which is a 15 year international project that focuses on the scientific and technical challenges of producing verified software. The goal of VSTTE 2010 was to advance the state of the art in the science and technology of software verification through the interaction of theory development, tool evolution, and experimental validation. The accepted papers represent work on verification techniques, specification languages, formal calculi, verification tools, solutions to challenge problems, software design methods, reusable components, refinement methodologies, and requirements modeling.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Verified Software. Theories, Tools and Experiments, VSTTE 2022 held in Trento, Italy, during October 17–18, 2022. The 9 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. The papers describe software verification efforts that involve collaboration, theory unification, tool integration, and formalized domain knowledge as well as novel experiments and case studies evaluating verification techniques and technologies.
