The Flashix project has developed the first realistic verified file system for Flash memory.
This paper gives an overview over the project and the theory used. Specification is based on …

This paper gives an overview of the KIV system, which in its long history has evolved from a
prover for sequential programs using Dynamic Logic to a general purpose theorem prover …

Non-volatile memory (NVM), also known as persistent memory, is an emerging paradigm for
memory that preserves its contents even after power loss. NVM is widely expected to …

When develo** file systems, caching is a common technique to achieve a performant
implementation. Integrating write-back caches is not primarily a problem for functional …

This paper defines a concept and a verification methodology for adding concurrency to a
sequential refinement tower of abstract state machines, that is based on data refinement and …

When develo** file systems, caching is a common technique to achieve a performant
implementation. Integrating write-back caches into a file system does not only affect …

The development of code for software intensive systems involves numerous levels of
abstraction, leading from requirements to code. Having abstract modeling concepts …

Flash memory does not allow in-place updates like conventional hard disks. Therefore all
file systems must maintain an index that maps identifiers for files and directories to the …

The Flashix project is a team effort to develop a functionally correct, crash-safe and
concurrent file system for flash memory. The approach is based on encapsulated, modular …

The formal development of large-scale software systems is a complex and timeconsuming
effort. Generally, its main goal is to prove the functional correctness of the resulting system …
