This course will start in the morning (8:00am-12:00pm).
The learning outcome of this course includes
- Learning the foundations of logic based proving techniques,
- Learning the various formal methods for program verification,
- Mastering the logic based specification and verification of sequential and concurrent programs,
- Mastering the specification and verification of Java programs,
- Understanding background methods and techniques for program verification and
- Learning future trends and applications of formal methods based software development.

The teaching method will be ONLINE but LIVE lectures. The LIVE lectures will take place via MS Teams Meeting during the same date/time as mentioned-above. To join the LIVE sessions, please click this link.
Course content
The course will include the teaching of basics and advanced of the following topics
- logic and proving
- various formal methods
- logic based specification
- program verification
- specification and verification of sequential programs, for instance, verifying Java programs specified in Java Modeling Language and
- specification and verification of concurrent programs, for instance, using Spin model checker
Importantly, the course will help students to master methods for the verification of industrial applications developed in popular programming languages, e.g., Java, C#.
Prior knowledge expected
Some intuitive knowledge of logic and proving is helpful. However, reasonable programming skills are desired.
Literature
The links to literature and corresponding tools will be provided during lectures.
