Sandrine Blazy
Sandrine Blazy is a French computer scientist known for her research in the formal verification of compilers, and especially for her work as a developer of CompCert, a compiler for a large subset of C99 that is "the first industrial-strength compiler with a mechanically checked proof of correctness". She is a professor at the University of Rennes and deputy director of IRISA, the Institut de recherche en informatique et systèmes aléatoires of the University of Rennes and the French National Centre for Scientific Research. Education and career Blazy studied computer science as an undergraduate through the École nationale supérieure d'informatique pour l'industrie et l'entreprise (ENSIIE) and Sorbonne University, earning both an engineering degree from ENSIIE and a master's degree from the Sorbonne in 1990. She completed a Ph.D. in 1993, and received a habilitation in 2008 at the University of Évry Val d'Essonne. She worked as a lecturer at ENSIIE from 1994 to 2009, when she ...

Formal Verification
In the context of hardware and software systems, formal verification is the act of proving or disproving the correctness of a system with respect to a certain formal specification or property, using formal methods of mathematics. Formal verification is a key incentive for formal specification of systems, and is at the core of formal methods. It represents an important dimension of analysis and verification in electronic design automation and is one approach to software verification. The use of formal verification enables the highest Evaluation Assurance Level ( EAL7) in the framework of common criteria for computer security certification. Formal verification can be helpful in proving the correctness of systems such as: cryptographic protocols, combinational circuits, digital circuits with internal memory, and software expressed as source code in a programming language. Prominent examples of verified software systems include the CompCert verified C compiler and the seL ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
