Abstract
This case study applies coalgebraic specfication and verfication techniques to the Fiasco microkernel developed at Dresden University of Technology. A part of the memory management of Fiasco was specfied in the Coalgebraic Class Specfication Language ccsl [HHJT98]. With the support of a modern theorem prover (namely pvs [ORR+96]) it was possible to check the source code of fiasco against this specfication. It turns out that, on the basis of coalgebras and with the use of state of the art tools like pvs and ccsl, it becomes feasible to verify practically used operation-system software.
