INES Graduate Student presents his work at CBSoft 2015 – Tools

Graduate student, and MSc candidate, Vítor Alcântara de Almeida will attend CBSoft 2015 and present the paper to the Tools Session:

“WPTrans: Um assistente para Verificacão de Programas no Frama-C”

Authors: David Deharbe, Richard Bonichon, Vitor Almeida

Abstract. This article describes the early stage of WPTrans: an extension to Frama-C and WP. This extension enable to manually help automated theorem provers by manipulating generated proof obligations. This gives yet another bullet to prove program correctness.
