Title: ESP: Program Verification of Millions of Lines of Code

Abstract:

Software is increasingly being used in settings where reliability and
resistance to malicious attacks are crucial requirements. The goal of
the ESP project is to use compile-time program verification to guarantee
the absence of programming errors that lead to unreliable code. The
primary research result in ESP is the application of specification
methods and program verification to very large programs.
