Book Description
A Step Towards Verified Software Worries about the reliability of software are as old as software itself; techniques for allaying these worries predate even James King’s 1969 thesis on “A program verifier. ” What gives the whole topic a new urgency is the conjunction of three phenomena: the blitz-like spread of software-rich systems to control ever more facets of our world and our lives; our growing impatience with deficiencies; and the development—proceeding more slowly, alas, than the other two trends—of techniques to ensure and verify software quality. In 2002 Tony Hoare, one of the most distinguished contributors to these advances over the past four decades, came to the conclusion that piecemeal efforts are no longer sufficient and proposed a “Grand Challenge” intended to achieve, over 15 years, the production of a verifying compiler: a tool that while processing programs would also guarantee their adherence to specified properties of correctness, robustness, safety, security and other desirable properties. As Hoare sees it, this endeavor is not a mere research project, as might normally be carried out by one team or a small consortium of teams, but a momentous endeavor, comparable in its scope to the successful mission to send a man to the moon or to the sequencing of the human genome.

Book Description
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 volume contains the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments, VSTTE 2012, held in Philadelphia, PA, USA, in January 2012. The 20 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks and 2 tutorials were carefully revised and selected from 54 initial submissions for inclusion in the book. The goal of the VSTTE conference is to advance the state of the art through the interaction of theory development, tool evolution, and experimental validation. The papers address topics such as: specification and verification techniques, tool support for specification languages, tool for various design methodologies, tool integration and plug-ins, automation in formal verification, tool comparisons and benchmark repositories, combination of tools and techniques, customizing tools for particular applications, challenge problems, refinement methodologies, requirements modeling, specification languages, specification/verification case-studies, software design methods, and program logic.
