VerifyThis 2019 - 8th Verification Competition (VerifyThis2019)

VerifyThis is a series of program verification competitions held earlier at FoVeOOS2011, FM2012, Dagstuhl (April 2014), ETAPS 2015-2018.
The aims of the competition are:
- to bring together those interested in formal verification, and to provide an engaging, hands-on, and fun opportunity for discussion
- to evaluate the usability of logic-based program verification tools in a controlled experiment that could be easily repeated by others.
The competition will offer a number of challenges presented in natural language and pseudo code. Participants have to formalize the requirements, implement a solution, and formally verify the implementation for adherence to the specification.
There are no restrictions on the programming language and verification technology used. The correctness properties posed in problems will have the input-output behavior of programs in focus. Solutions will be judged for correctness, completeness, and elegance.
