A Broader View on Verification: From Static to Runtime and Back (Track Summary)

Abstract

When seeking to verify a computational system one can either view the system as a static description of possible behaviours or a dynamic collection of observed or actual behaviours. Historically, there have been clear differences between the two approaches in terms of their level of completeness, the associated costs, the kinds of specifications considered, how and when they are applied, and so on. Recently there has been a concentrated interest in the combination of static and runtime (dynamic) techniques and this track (taking place as part of ISoLA 2018) aims to explore this combination further.
