Teaching Experience: Logic and Formal Methods with Coq
نویسندگان
چکیده
During the past three years we have been integrating mechanized theorem proving into a traditional introductory course on formal methods. We explain our goals for adding mechanized provers to the course, and illustrate how we have integrated the provers into our syllabus to meet those goals. We also document some of the teaching materials we have developed for the course to date, and what our experiences have been like.

Introducing Logic and Formal Methods with Coq
During the past three years we have been integrating mechanized theorem proving into a traditional introductory course on formal methods.

متن کاملHow to prove it in Natural Deduction: A Tactical Approach
The motivation for this paper comes out of our experience with teaching natural deduction (ND) and with the way this formal system is implemented by the Coq proof assistant, namely by means of so-called tactics, which are heuristics that transform a goal formula into a sequence of subgoals whose provability implies that of the original formula. We aim at capturing some of these tactics into a s...
متن کاملExperience extending VLSI design with mathematical logic
The growing demands for assurance of properties like correctness, safety, and security have led to the development of design methods using mathematical logic. These methods have broad application to hardware, software, and system design. Design based on mathematical logic offers the capability to relate structural descriptions with behavioral descriptions and properties. The challenge is to mou...
متن کاملA Novel Hybrid Approach to Analyze Cost of Quality: Balanced Scorecard and Fuzzy Logic
In this paper, a new methodology in the area of cost of quality (COQ) is proposed to determine the optimal investment allocation to all costs. The goal is to minimize costs involved in achieving a required level of quality. The contribution of this paper is fourfold: (I) considering two types of weights for each part of COQ, in which the first type is determined by the cost volume and the secon...
متن کاملLogic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Reasoning, 14th International Conference, LPAR 2007, Yerevan, Armenia, October 15-19, 2007, Proceedings
The use of formal methods provides confidence in the correctness of developments. Yet one may argue about the actual level of confidence obtained when the method itself – or its implementation – is not formally checked. We address this question for the B, a widely used formal method that allows for the derivation of correct programs from specifications. Through a deep embedding of the B logic i...
