Verification of Concurrent Data Structures (VERCORS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Increasing performance demands, application complexity and explicit multi-core parallelism makes concurrency omnipresent in software applications. However, due to the complex interferences between threads in an application, concurrent software is also notoriously hard to get correct. Instead of spending large amounts of money to fix incorrect software, formal techniques are needed to reason about ...
