Abstract:
Over the past 10 years, new techniques have been developed that allow us to automatically prove termination (and other related liveness properties) of non-trivial programs. This lecture will describe my work on the TERMINATOR program termination/liveness prover and its application to industrial software as well as pharmaceutical research.
