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, ...)
