Abstract
We will show how Horn constraints can be used to describe verification and synthesis problems, and how such constraints can be solved efficiently. In particular, we will demonstrate how cardinality operators help to reason about quantitative properties and carry out counting-based correctness arguments, which are useful for the verification of information flow properties and parametrized systems. We also consider non-stratified negation and aggregation, and their use for modelling network protocols.
