This grant supports research into Crowd Sourced Formal Verification (CSFV), an innovative approach to enhance the rigorous process of proving software and hardware correctness. Traditional formal verification demands specialized expertise and significant resources. This initiative seeks proposals investigating how collective intelligence and distributed efforts can be effectively leveraged for these complex tasks. Key areas of interest include developing novel crowdsourcing platforms, designing effective incentive mechanisms, assessing the quality of crowd contributions, and integrating crowd input into formal proof systems. The program aims to overcome current scalability and resource limitations, making formal verification more efficient, accessible, and potentially enabling wider adoption in critical system development. This grant is for advancing the intersection of human computation and formal methods.
