First-order mu-calculus as a framework for program verification

Over a period of some 6-7 years the FDT group at SICS and KTH has explored the use of first-order mu-calculus as a framework for program verification. In the talk I will cover the theorem-proving foundations of this work, in particular the lazy handling of induction and coinduction, ways of embedding programming languages and logics into the framework, and applications to the Erlang programming language.
