One month left to apply!

If you are looking for a PhD position and are interested in working on probabilistic inference, sensitivity analysis, and decision-making, this might be the job for you! We are looking for candidates with a strong background in Computer Science, and ideally also in Mathematics.

Please apply by 31 August. We're looking forward to reading your application!

Interested in theoretical cryptography and/or formal methods? Boston University is hosting a summer school on Universally Composable Security and the EasyUC framework for formalizing UC models and proofs.

The school is from August 11 - 14, 2025. Registration is free, and we're supporting both in person and Zoom participation.

ESBMC - An Efficient SMT-based Bounded Model Checker

ssvlab.github.io/esbmc/

"ESBMC is an open-source, [...], context-bounded model checker based on satisfiability modulo theories for verifying single- and multi-threaded C/C++ programs. It does not require the user to annotate the programs with pre- or postconditions, but allows the user to state additional properties using assert-statements, that are then checked as well."

Carolyn is also a maintainer of #Kani, the Rust model checker.
She has been so supportive and kind during my struggles with HashMaps and Kani 🥺

*Last Call*

I have a #PhD position for UK students, available with myself and @bentnib

This project will be looking at developing new methods for asserting the resilience of existing communicating systems by developing new static analysis methods derived from advanced programming language research.

*Hard Deadline*: Wednesday 16th April 2025

You will belong to @StrathCyber and @mspstrath, as well as gaining access to @spli

Reading the new experience report paper "System Correctness Practices at AWS" by @marcbrooker & Ankush Desai, a successor to 2015 paper "How Amazon Web Services Uses Formal Methods". Documents a whole buffet of industrial formal methods use: P (including new tool PObserve for runtime trace validation), deterministic simulation testing in Rust with the open-sourced Shuttle and Turmoil tools, Dafny, HOL Light, and the open-sourced Kani model-checker for Rust.

While TLA⁺ was the most prominent featured tool in the 2015 paper, it's been lost in the crowd here as part of a clear shift toward verifying & testing the actual running code. I think TLA⁺ must carve out a niche for itself in a world where deterministic simulation testing becomes a commodity technology, or it risks losing relevance same as other design-level tools like UML. There are existing case studies on using TLA⁺ for trace validation and model-driven testing, but a lot of effort needs to go into tooling for making such integrations as smooth as possible instead of bespoke one-off projects.
