Guiding user annotations for units-of-measure verification

Abstract

This extended abstract 1 reports on previous work of the CamFort project in which we developed an external units-of-measure type system for Fortran code, targeted at scientists. Our approach can guide the programmer in adding specifications (type annotations) to existing code, with the aim of easing adoption on legacy code. Pertinent to the topics of the HATRA workshop, we discuss the human-aspects of the tool here. CamFort is open-source and freely available online. 2
