----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* OVERVIEW

Dafny is a verification-aware programming language that has native support

for specifications and proofs, and is equipped with an auto-active static

program verifier. The workshop aims to provide a platform for reports about

applications of Dafny in industry, research on programming-language concepts

that are relevant to Dafny, and talks about Dafny’s role in teaching. Topics

include but are not limited to the following:

- Relation to Hoare logic, Incorrectness logic, Outcome logic, over- and

  under-approximation, ...

- Interactive theorem proving and SMT automation

- Coinduction and corecursion

- Dynamic frames vs. separation logic vs. ownership

- Test generation for Dafny

- Specification and proof inference for Dafny

- Extensions and applications of Dafny

- Alternative verifier backends

- Program verification at industry-scale

- Translation to or from Dafny and other languages

- Logical foundations for Dafny (partial functions, nonempty types, extreme

  predicates, ...)

- Dafny in teaching

- Comparison with other auto-active program verifiers (SPARK, F*, Why3,

  Viper, Whiley, ...)

- Comparison with other proof assistants (Coq, Isabelle/HOL, Lean, ...)
