Abstract: Although static analyzers have demonstrated their ability to prove the absence of large classes of errors in critical software, they are themselves large and complex software, so it is natural to question their implementation correctness and the validity of their output. The focus of the Ascert project is the use of formal methods to ensure the correctness of an analyzer with respect to the abstraction interpretation theory. Methods to be investigated include the direct proof of the analyzer, the proof of a verifier for the analyzer result, and the validation of the inductive invariants generated by the analyzer, using the Coq proof assistant. These methods will be applied to the certification of several numerical abstract domains, of an abstract interpreter for imperative programs and its possible extensions to one of the formal semantics of the CompCert verified C compiler.
Sardanes
Title: Sémantique, Analyse et tRansformation Des Applications Numériques Embarqués Synchrones
Type: 6th call: Verification methods for software and systems
Abstract: Scade is widely used to write critical embedded software, as a specification and verification language. The semantics of Scade uses real arithmetics whereas it is compiled into a language that uses floating-point arithmetics. The goal of the Sardanes project is to use expression transformation so as to ensure that the numerical properties of the programs is preserved during the compilation. Patrick Cousot and Radhia Cousot are the principal investigators for this action.
