Content

The goal of program analysis is to gather information about the behavior of programs. Such information can be obtained statically (i.e., without executing the program) or dynamically (i.e., by executing the program).

The course will cover various techniques for the formal analysis of programs. Topics include:

  • Data flow analysis
  • Formal semantics and proof techniques
  • Abstract interpretation of imperative programs
  • Run-time monitoring

Prerequisites

Knowledge of Computer Science and Mathematics, equivalent to the first four semesters in the Computer Science Bachelor program.
