Abstract

Program synthesis research aims at developing a program that develops correct programs from specifications, with as much or as little interaction as the specifier wants. I overview the main achievements in deploying logic for program synthesis. I also outline the prospects of such research, arguing that, while the technology scales up from toy programs to real-life software and to commercially viable tools, computational logic will continue to be a driving force behind this progress.
