Nominator's project description

Professor Bouajjani has made outstanding contributions to automatic software verification, the task of designing computer programmes that find bugs in other software or establish their absence. He has pioneered the automatic verification of concurrent software and of programmes running on top of so-called weak memory models. During his stay in Germany, Professor Boaujjani will develop verification techniques able to trade off between consistency guarantees and performance, and techniques for weak memory models of high-level languages.
