- This paper introduces the Cogent language for formal verification of systems software, and applies it to produce the world's first end-to-end formal verification of file system operations. It was accepted at ASPLOS, a top (CORE A*) conference in systems research, with an acceptance rate of 22.9%. 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.
