Reynolds has developed a logic for reasoning about mutable data structures in which the
pre-and postconditions are written in an intuitionistic logic enriched with a spatial form of …

In the last chapter, we explained how the functional behavior of methods can be specified
and verified. Specification of functional method behavior describes the result value and …

Ownership types provide a statically enforceable notion of object-level encapsulation. We
extend ownership types with computational effects to support reasoning about object …

We investigate proof rules for information hiding, using the recent formalism of separation
logic. In essence, we use the separating conjunction to partition the internal resources of a …

We present the semantics and proof system for an object-oriented language with active
objects, asynchronous method calls, and futures. The language, based on Creol …

We describe the basic structure of an environment for proving Java programs annotated with
JML specifications. Our method is generic with respect to the API, and thus well suited for …

This article presents a Hoare‐style calculus for a substantial subset of Java Card, which we
call Java ^ℓight. In particular, the language includes side‐effecting expressions, mutual …

The state of knowledge in how to specify sequential programs in object-oriented languages
such as Java and C# and the state of the art in automated verification tools for such …

This paper formalises a semantics for statements and expressions (in sequential imperative
languages) which includes non-termination, normal termination and abrupt termination (eg …
