C/C++ Verification Workshop, July 2


colocated with IFM 2007 in Oxford, UK (July 2-7)

Call for Papers

C and its cousin C++ are among the most popular languages. In contrast, application of formal methods to C and C++ code are relatively rare. Holes in the type system, the frequent use of type casts and sometimes direct hardware access in C/C++ code make the development of formal methods very challenging.


The aim of the C/C++ verification workshop is to bring together people that are working on the verification or the semantics of C or C++ programs. The workshop will provide a forum to discuss aspects of the type system and the semantics of C/C++, present approaches for the verification of C or C++ programs, demonstrate tools and report about (ongoing) verification projects.


Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • formal semantics of parts or aspects of C/C++
  • formal approaches to compiler or platform specific properties of C/C++
  • formal approaches for safety-critical C/C++ code
  • semantical treatment and verification of embedded assembly code for direct hardware access
  • verification of C/C++ code and verification results
  • tools for the semantic analysis of C/C++ code
  • tools for the verification of C/C++
  • case studies of C/C++ verification


Interested speakers should submit an extended abstract (between 2 and 10 pages) to Hendrik Tews. The abstracts will be subject to light reviewing by the organisation committee. Accepted submissions are collected in a technical report of Radboud University Nijmegen. A CFP for post-workshop proceedings is envisaged.
