TLDR
This paper motivates VCC, describes the verification methodology, the architecture of VCC is described, and the experience using VCC to verify the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor is reported on.Abstract:
VCC is an industrial-strength verification environment for low-level concurrent system code written in C. VCC takes a program (annotated with function contracts, state assertions, and type invariants) and attempts to prove the correctness of these annotations. It includes tools for monitoring proof attempts and constructing partial counterexample executions for failed proofs. This paper motivates VCC, describes our verification methodology, describes the architecture of VCC, and reports on our experience using VCC to verify the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor.read more

Deductive Verification of Parallel Programs Using Why3
TL;DR: A prototype for a type-based approach to programming and verifying MPI like programs against protocols, designed so as to capture the most common primitives in MPI, incorporating a form of primitive recursion and collective choice.

Verification of program computations
TL;DR: This thesis describes a framework to seamlessly verify certifying computations and presents and compares two alternative methods for verifying the C implementation of the checkers.

Formal specification and verification of a microkernel
TL;DR: The models and proofs presented in this thesis are formalized in the uniform logical framework of the interactive theorem prover Isabelle/HOL, and hence, it is rigorously checked that all verification results fit together.

Modeling and Abstraction of Memory Management in a Hypervisor
TL;DR: The present paper shows how a hypervisor developed by Technische Universitat Berlin has been formalized and presents the isolation properties it has proved on the targeted abstract model, and provides details about how the management of page tables has been formally modeled.

A Temporal Logic of Nested Calls and Returns
TL;DR: This work introduces a temporal logic of calls and returns (CaRet) for specification and algorithmic verification of correctness requirements of structured programs and presents a tableau construction that reduces the model checking problem to the emptiness problem for a Buchi pushdown system.

Separation logic: a logic for shared mutable data structures
TL;DR: An extension of Hoare logic that permits reasoning about low-level imperative programs that use shared mutable data structure is developed, including extensions that permit unrestricted address arithmetic, dynamically allocated arrays, and recursive procedures.

Amortised Memory Analysis Using the Depth of Data Structures
TL;DR: A related system for bounding the stack space requirements is described which uses the depth of data structures, by expressing potential in terms of maxima as well as sums, by adding extra structure to typing contexts to describe the form of the bounds.
