• CSE Colloquium – Flux: Refinement Types for Verified Rust Systems

    Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter: Ranjit Jhala, UCSD Abstract: Rust has risen as a language of choice for new systems code — from OS kernels to hypervisors, firmware and run-times — as it is memory safe and provides the sort of abstractions needed for efficient low-level systems implementation. We present Flux, a refinement type checker for Rust that shows how […]

  • When Less is More: Applications of Type-Based Underapproximate Reasoning

    Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter: Suresh Jagganathan, Purdue University Abstract: Unlike program verifiers, symbolic execution and property-based testing tools underapproximate program behavior: they aim to report only real bugs (no false positives), at the cost of potentially missing some (false negatives). Recent work has sought to place such tools on a more formal footing, primarily through the development of incorrectness […]
