Abstract:The existing tools of deductive verification allow us to successfully prove the correctness of functions written in high-level languages such as C or Java. However, this may not be enough for critical software because even fully verified code cannot guarantee the correct generation of machine code by the compiler. At the moment, developers of such systems have to accept the compiler correctness assumption, which, however, is extremely undesirable, but inevitable due to the lack of full-fledged systems of forma… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
