• Starting with the class on Tuesday Jan 12 at 11.30am, lectures/labs will take place in the Software Engineering Laboratory (SEL) in CSEB2056. There are are 6 workstations in the lab, but you may want to bring your notebook with the Rodin toolset installed. During the lectures we will at times be working with the Rodin toolset. Lectures will take place in CSEB2056 until further notice.

CSE 3341 3.0- Introduction to Program Verification: Every program implicitly asserts a theorem to the effect that if certain input conditions are met then the program will do what its specifications or documentation says it will. Making that theorem true is not merely a matter of luck or patient debugging; making a correct program can be greatly aided by a logical analysis of what it is supposed to do, and for small pieces of code a proof that the code works can be produced hand-in-hand with the construction of the code itself. Good programming style works in part because it makes the verification process easier and this in turn makes it easier to develop more complex algorithms from simple ones. The course will provide an introduction to the basic concepts of formal verification methods. It will also include the use of tools to aid in verification. We will be using the Event-B method and tool.
