ModelPlex: Verified Runtime Validation of Verified Cyber-Physical System Models

Formal verification and validation play a crucial role in making cyber-physical systems (CPS) safe. Formal methods make strong guarantees about the system behavior if accurate models of the system can be obtained, including models of the controller and of the physical dynamics. In CPS, models are essential; but any model we could possibly build necessarily deviates from the real world. If the r...

A Verified Runtime for a Verified Theorem Prover

Theorem provers, such as ACL2, HOL, Isabelle and Coq, rely on the correctness of runtime systems for programming languages like ML, OCaml or Common Lisp. These runtime systems are complex and critical to the integrity of the theorem provers. In this paper, we present a new Lisp runtime which has been formally verified and can run the Milawa theorem prover. Our runtime consists of 7,500 lines of...

Formally Verified System Initialisation

The safety and security of software systems depends on how they are initially configured. Manually writing program code that establishes such an initial configuration is a tedious and error-prone engineering process. In this paper we present an automatic and formally verified initialiser for component-based systems built on the general-purpose microkernel seL4. The construction principles of th...
