Overview Can critical systems be built with no bugs in hardware, operating systems, compilers, crypto, and other key components? It may seem a pipe dream, but the past decade has seen remarkable advances in the technology required to realize it. This summer school aims to give participants a wide-ranging overview of several ambitious projects currently underway in this space.  Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the conceptual underpinnings of these projects plus considerable hands-on experience with the state-of-the-art tools being used to build them. Dates The summer school will open with a three-day intensive course on the fundamentals of the Coq proof assistant, for participants who are new to Coq. The main lectures take place during the weeks of July 17 and 24.  Lecturers and Topics Andrew Appel  Verified functional algorithms  Adam Chlipala  Program-specific proof automation Frans Kaashoek & Nickolai Zeldovich  Certifying software with crashes  Xavier Leroy  The structure of a verified compiler Benjamin Pierce  Property-based random testing with QuickChick  Zhong Shao  CertiKOS: Certified kit operating systems Stephanie Weirich  Language specification and variable binding Steve Zdancewic  Vellvm: Verifying the LLVM
