m-EVES: A tool for verifying software

This paper describes the development of a new tool for formally verifying software. The tool is called m-EVES and consists of a new language, called m-Verdi, for implementing and specifying software; a new logic, which has been proven sound; and a new theorem prover, called m-NEVER, which integrates many state-of-the-art techniques drawn from the theorem proving literature. Two simple examples are used to present the fundamental ideas embodied within the system.
