Halo: From Haskell to Logic through Denotational Semantics
- 👤 Speaker: Dimitrios Vytiniotis, MSR Cambridge
- 📅 Date & Time: Friday 23 November 2012, 14:00 - 15:00
- 📍 Venue: Room FW11, Computer Laboratory, William Gates Building
Abstract
Even well-typed programs can go wrong, by encountering a pattern-match failure, or simply returning the wrong answer. And increasingly-popular response is to allow programmers to write contracts that express behavioural properties, such as crash-freedome of some useful post-condition. We study the static verification of such contracts. Our main contribution is a novel translation to first-order logic of both Haskell programs, and contracts written in Haskell, all justified by denotational semantics. This translation enables us to prove that functions satisfy their contracts using off-the-shelf first-order theorem provers.
Series This talk is part of the Logic and Semantics Seminar (Computer Laboratory) series.
