Deductive software verification aims at formally verifying that all possible behaviors of a
given program satisfy formally defined, possibly complex properties, where the verification …

Sorting is a fundamental functionality in libraries, for which efficiency is crucial. Correctness
of the highly optimised implementations is often taken for granted. De Gouw et al. have …

Smart contracts are agreements between parties which, not only describe the ideal
behaviour expected from those parties, but also automates such ideal performance …

The behavior of concurrent, asynchronous procedures depends in general on the call
context, because of the global protocol that governs scheduling. This context cannot be …

Test driven development (TDD) is a technique where test cases are used to guide the
development of a system. This technique introduces several advantages at the time of …

Alk is an educational platform designed to help in learning algorithms and acquiring
algorithmic thinking. This paper describes how the semantics of Alk and the algorithm's …

Software takes a more prominent role for each day passed. With this ever increasing
obligation, programs grow more complex to satisfy the functional requirements of society …

Highly-customizable software systems, also known as software product lines, are
commonplace in today's software industry. They are also becoming increasingly relevant for …

Formal specification of multi-threaded programs is notoriously hard, because thread
execution may be preempted at any point. In contrast, abstract concurrency models such as …

Algorithm design courses are fundamental to computer science cur-ricula, but fostering
algorithmic thinking in students is challenging due to the diverse skills and creativity …
