Proceedings Thirteenth International Workshop on the ACL2 Theorem Prover and Its Applications
This is an incremental workshop proceedings for researchers and practitioners in formal verification and theorem proving.
This paper presents the proceedings of the Thirteenth International Workshop on the ACL2 Theorem Prover and Its Applications, focusing on improvements, extensions, comparisons, and applications of ACL2 in formal verification. It highlights ACL2 as a state-of-the-art automated reasoning system used in academia, government, and industry for specification and verification of computing systems.
This volume contains the proceedings of the Thirteenth International Workshop on the ACL2 Theorem Prover and Its Applications, ACL2 2015, a two-day workshop held in Austin, Texas, USA, on October 1-2, 2015. ACL2 workshops occur at approximately 18-month intervals and provide a major technical forum for researchers to present and discuss improvements and extensions to the theorem prover, comparisons of ACL2 with other systems, and applications of ACL2 in formal verification. ACL2 is a state-of-the-art automated reasoning system that has been successfully applied in academia, government, and industry for specification and verification of computing systems and in teaching computer science courses. In 2005, Boyer, Kaufmann, and Moore were awarded the 2005 ACM Software System Award for their work on ACL2 and the other theorem provers in the Boyer-Moore family.
