Deep Specifications
The workshop will be held on June 22-23 (Saturday and Sunday).
Formal verification of systems software requires specifications that are:
- rich (describing complex component behaviors in detail)
- two-sided (connected to both implementations and clients)
- formal (written in a mathematical notation with clear semantics to support tools such as type checkers, analysis and testing tools, automated or machine-assisted provers, and advanced IDEs)
- live (connected via machine-checkable proofs to the implementation and client code). We call these deep specifications.
The DeepSpec @ PLDI 2019 workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in Deep Specifications. Our goal is to promote the development of new science, technology, and tools–for specifying what programs should do, for building programs that conform to those specifications, and for verifying that programs do behave exactly as specified. This workshop will examine the role of verification in the context of core software-systems infrastructure such as operating systems, programming-language compilers, and computer chips; with applications such as elections and voting systems, cars, and smartphones.
