Hi,

What boosted at that time automated
Program verification, and maybe a broader
use of Stärks approach was the Java virtual

machine. A lot of papers poped up at
that time, doing something with JVM
and automated program verification.

Also from that time:

A security logic for abstract state machines
https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/68777

Axioms for strict and lazy functional programs
https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/68772

Bye
