Automated Deduction – CADE 28

This open access book constitutes the proceeding of the 28th International Conference on Automated Deduction, CADE 28, held virtually in July 2021. The 29 full papers and 7 system descriptions presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 76 submissions. CADE is the major forum for the presentation of research in all aspects of automated deduction, including foundations, applications, implementations, and practical experience. The papers are organized in the following topics: Logical foundations; theory and principles; implementation and application; ATP and AI; and system descriptions

Deductive Verification of Concurrent Programs and its Application to Secure Information Flow for Java

Formal verification of concurrent programs still poses a major challenge in computer science. Our approach is an adaptation of the modular rely/guarantee methodology in dynamic logic. Besides functional properties, we investigate language-based security. Our verification approach extends naturally to multi-threaded Java and we present an implementation in the KeY verification system. We propose natural extensions to JML regarding both confidentiality properties and multi-threaded programs
