- This paper introduces a method to automate formal verification of compilers, and applies it to certify the compilation of Cogent, a functional systems programming language. It was accepted at ITP, a major international conference (CORE A) in formal methods. Cogent greatly reduces the cost of verifying software (by at least a third), and is now in use in industry. The project was the recipient of a NICTA Impact award, and has attracted over 1.5million Australian dollars in funding, predominantly from industry sources, as well as from the Australian Government's Data61 research institution.
