IVOIRE Workshop 2024
Historically, formal methods and supported environments have focused more on only one-half of the quality-assurance process: verification (are we building the software right?). The other half, validation (are we building the right software?), has been given much less attention, i.e., we have fewer automated/push-button tools available for validation, unlike verification.
The IVOIRE project focuses on developing an enhanced formal paradigm based on an extension of the refinement framework that includes a comprehensive validation process and toolchain to perform validation obligations. The main goal of this workshop is to provide a platform for formal methods practitioners, researchers, and academics to discuss various issues associated with validation for formal methods, including but not limited to:
- Validation obligations or other systematic approaches to validation
- Relation between refinement and validation and the interplay between verification and validation
- Environments and tools to manage the validation process
- Evaluations, benchmarking, case studies, etc.
The IVOIRE workshop will be co-located with ABZ 2024 in Bergamo, Italy and will take place on 25th of June 2024.
