Formal methods use mathematical models for analysis and verification at any part of the
program life-cycle. We describe the state of the art in the industrial use of formal methods …

We introduce a scalable method for training robust neural networks based on abstract
interpretation. We present several abstract transformers which balance efficiency with …

Blockchain, originated from Bitcoin system, has drawn intense attention from the academic
community because of its decentralization, persistency, anonymity and auditability. In the …

Unlike coverage-based fuzzing that gives equal attention to every part of a code, directed
fuzzing aims to direct a fuzzer to a specific target in the code, eg, the code with potential …

This paper presents S2E, a platform for analyzing the properties and behavior of software
systems. We demonstrate S2E's use in develo** practical tools for comprehensive …

The serious bugs and security vulnerabilities facilitated by C/C++'s lack of bounds checking
are well known, yet C and C++ remain in widespread use. Unfortunately, C's arbitrary …

This article presents the octagon abstract domain, a relational numerical abstract domain for
static analysis by abstract interpretation. It allows representing conjunctions of constraints of …

We present VERISMART, a highly precise verifier for ensuring arithmetic safety of Ethereum
smart contracts. Writing safe smart contracts without unintended behavior is critically …

To report a compiler bug, one must often find a small test case that triggers the bug. The
existing approach to automated test-case reduction, delta debugging, works by removing …
