Overview
Dafny is a verification-aware programming language that has native support for specifications and proofs, and is equipped with an auto-active static program verifier. The workshop aims to provide a platform for reports about applications of Dafny in industry, research on programming-language concepts that are relevant to Dafny, and talks about Dafny’s role in teaching. Topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Relation to Hoare logic, Incorrectness logic, Outcome logic, over- and under-approximation, …
- Interactive theorem proving and SMT automation
- Coinduction and corecursion
- Dynamic frames vs. separation logic vs. ownership
- Test generation for Dafny
- Specification and proof inference for Dafny
- Extensions and applications of Dafny
- Alternative verifier backends
- Program verification at industry-scale
- Translation to or from Dafny and other languages
- Logical foundations for Dafny (partial functions, nonempty types, extreme predicates, …)
- Dafny in teaching
- Comparison with other auto-active program verifiers (SPARK, F*, Why3, Viper, Whiley, …)
- Comparison with other proof assistants (Coq, Isabelle/HOL, Lean, …)
