VerifyThis Verification Competition 2019
to be held at ETAPS 2019
Get involved, even if you cannot participate in the competition: provide a challenge!
ABOUT THE COMPETITION
VerifyThis 2019 will take place as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2019) on 6 and 7 April 2019. It is the 8th event in the VerifyThis competition series. Information on previous events and participants can be found at http://www.pm.inf.ethz.ch/research/verifythis.html
The aims of the competition are:
- to bring together those interested in formal verification, and to provide an engaging, hands-on, and fun opportunity for discussion
- to evaluate the usability of logic-based program verification tools in a controlled experiment that could be easily repeated by others.
The competition will offer a number of challenges presented in natural language and pseudo code. Participants have to formalize the requirements, implement a solution, and formally verify the implementation for adherence to the specification.
There are no restrictions on the programming language and verification technology used. The correctness properties posed in problems will have the input-output behavior of programs in focus. Solutions will be judged for correctness, completeness, and elegance.
