Strong Modular proof Assistance: Reasoning across Theories (SMART)

Start date: Mar 1, 2017, End date: Feb 28, 2022,

Formal proof technology delivers an unparalleled level of certainty and security. Nevertheless, applying proof assistants to the verification of complex theories and designs is still extremely laborious. High profile certification projects, such as seL4, CompCert, and Flyspeck require tens of person-years. We recently demonstrated that this effort can be significantly reduced by combining reasonin ...
