Abstract:
 

In this talk I will outline the main conceptual breakthroughs provided by Separation Logic, a successful framework to reason about programs with rigorous logics. Starting from a simple observation about the shortcomings of Hoare logic to reason about heap-manipulating programs, the concept of “separation” provided a new tool for thought that proved to be extremely useful beyond the initial application.

After a brief overview of Separation Logic, I will present the main ideas behind my Bluebell project, which proposes a new Separation Logic that can reason about probabilistic behaviour.
