Concurrent Program Logics
Instructors: Viktor Vafeiadis and Derek Dreyer
Teaching assistant: Georg Neis
Meeting time: 2 hours, once a week, April - July 2011
Abstract
Reasoning about concurrent programming is a particularly exciting topic in program verification. The focus of much of the research in this area is on developing modular and compositional methods for verification that nonetheless allow for fine-grained synchronization, as well as the sharing of mutable data structures, between multiple threads. Although some of the fundamental ideas in the area (such as Hoare logic and rely-guarantee reasoning) were developed thirty years ago, there has been major progress in the last several years, and the field is complex and highly active.
In this seminar course, we will study the development of concurrent program logics, from their roots in the late '70s up to the most recent breakthrough technologies. The course will be structured like a reading group, with one student tasked with presenting a paper each week, followed by an in-depth discussion.
The course is being co-taught by Viktor Vafeiadis (MPI-SWS, the Kaiserslautern branch) and Derek Dreyer (MPI-SWS, the Saarbruecken branch), and will be conducted by videoconferencing between the two MPI-SWS locations.
