A Perspective on Program Verification

A perspective on program verification is presented from the point of view of a university professor who has been active over a period of 35 years in the development of formal methods and their supporting tools. He has educated until now approx. 25 Ph.D. researchers in those fields and has written two handbooks in the field of program verification, one unifying known techniques for proving data refinement, and the other on compositional verification of concurrent and distributed programs, and communication-closed layers. This essay closes with formulating a grand challenge worthy of modern Europe.
