Iris is a framework for higher-order concurrent separation logic, which has been
implemented in the Coq proof assistant and deployed very effectively in a wide variety of …

Given the central role that C continues to play in systems software, and the difficulty of
writing safe and correct C code, it remains a grand challenge to develop effective formal …

When using a proof assistant to reason in an embedded logic--like separation logic--one
cannot benefit from the proof contexts and basic tactics of the proof assistant. This results in …

We investigate a family of bugs in blockchain-based smart contracts, which we dub event-
ordering (or EO) bugs. These bugs are intimately related to the dynamic ordering of contract …

Concurrent separation logics (CSLs) have come of age, and with age they have
accumulated a great deal of complexity. Previous work on the Iris logic attempted to reduce …

In this paper, we explore remarkable similarities between multi-transactional behaviors of
smart contracts in cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and classical problems of shared …

The field of concurrent separation logics (CSLs) has recently undergone two exciting
developments:(1) the Iris framework for encoding and unifying advanced higher-order CSLs …

The development of concurrent separation logic (CSL) has sparked a long line of work on
modular verification of sophisticated concurrent programs. Two of the most important …

Automatic static detection of data races is one of the most basic problems in reasoning about
concurrency. We present RacerD—a static program analysis for detecting data races in Java …
