If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dominic Orchard.

I will talk about the work I have been doing extending the Cyclist automatic verification tool. I will first give an overview of the cyclic proof technique, which generalises infinite descent style proof-by-contradiction, and explain how it can be used to prove entailments in both first order logic, and separation logic. I will then describe how it can also be used in a Hoare-style system for proving the safety and termination of heap-manipulating procedural programs, and some of the technical challenges this involves.
