Proceedings Second International Workshop on Formal Integrated Development Environment

TL;DR

The F-IDE 2015 workshop proceedings focus on advancing formal integrated development environments to improve safety, security, and privacy standards through better tools for specification, verification, and documentation in software development.

Contribution

This volume presents research and experiences on designing and using formal IDEs to make formal methods more accessible for both experts and non-specialists.

Findings

Enhanced tools for handling specifications and proofs

Improved integration of formal methods into development workflows

Facilitated review and justification of design choices

Abstract

This volume contains the proceedings of F-IDE 2015, the second international workshop on Formal Integrated Development Environment, which was held as an FM 2015 satellite event, on June 22, 2015, in Oslo (Norway). High levels of safety, security and also privacy standards require the use of formal methods to specify and develop compliant software (sub)systems. Any standard comes with an assessment process, which requires a complete documentation of the application in order to ease the justification of design choices and the review of code and proofs. Thus tools are needed for handling specifications, program constructs and verification artifacts. The aim of the F-IDE workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing research efforts as well as experience returns on design, development and usage of formal IDE aiming at making formal methods "easier" for both specialists and non-specialists.
