Eighth Summer School on Formal Techniques, May 19 - May 25, 2018
Menlo College
Atherton, California
http://fm.csl.sri.com/SSFT18
Techniques based on formal logic, such as model checking,
satisfiability, static
analysis, and automated theorem proving, are finding a broad range of
applications
in modeling, analysis, verification, and synthesis. This school, the
sixth in the
series, will focus on the principles and practice of formal techniques,
with a
strong emphasis on the hands-on use and development of this technology. It
primarily targets graduate students and young researchers who are
interested in
studying and using formal techniques in their research. A prior
background in
formal methods is helpful but not required. Participants at the school
can expect
to have a seriously fun time experimenting with the tools and techniques
presented
in the lectures during laboratory sessions.
The lecturers at the school include:
* Emina Torlak (University of Washington)
Solver-Aided Programming
* Mooly Sagiv (Tel Aviv University)
Modularity for Decidability: Implementing and Semi-Automatically
Verifying Distributed Systems
* Nikhil Swamy and Jonathan Protzenko (Microsoft Research)
Programming and Proving in F* and Low*
* Andreas Abel (Chalmers/Gothenburg University)
Introduction to Dependent Types and Agda
* Dirk Beyer (Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich, Germany)
Software Model Checking
The main lectures in the summer school will be preceded by a two-day
background course on
logic:
* Natarajan Shankar (SRI CSL) and Stephane Graham-Lengrand (Ecole
Polytechnique)
Speaking Logic
We will also have invited talks by
* Nina Narodytska (VMWare Research)
Verifying Properties of Binarized Deep Neural Networks
* Gordon Plotkin (U. Edinburgh, UK)
Some Principles of Differentiable Programming Languages Research Papers
* Edward A. Lee (UC Berkeley)
Plato and the Nerd - The Creative Partnership of Humans and Technology

We expect to provide support for the travel and accommodation for a
limited number
of students registered at US universities, but welcome applications from
non-US
students as well as non-students (if space permits). Non-US students
will have to
cover their own travel and will be charged around US$800 for meals and
lodging.
Applications should be submitted at the website http://fm.csl.sri.com/SSFT18
Applicants are urged to submit their applications before April 30, 2018,
since
there are only a limited number of spaces available. Non-US applicants
requiring
US visas are requested to apply early. We strongly encourage the
participation of
women and under-represented minorities in the summer school.
