Verifying ANSI-C Context-Aware Applications Draft

We report on work in progress upon the verification of contextaware applications written in C-based languages. We recognize that context-aware programs are generally either middleware-based and multithreaded, or driven by asynchronous events, and focus on identifying the program points in which the contextual updates impact the application behaviour. Inheriting from related work on the validation of context-aware applications, we implement a technique for detecting context-aware program points over SatAbs, a tool for generic verification of specifications of ANSI C/C++ programs. We then briefly review future work with regard to the automatic verification of these programs in SatAbs, using the generated context-aware program points.
