Iris is a framework that can be used for reasoning about safety of concurrent programs, as the logic in logical relations, to reason about type-systems, data-abstraction etc. In case of questions, please contact us in our chat room.

Learning Iris

Some useful resources designed to learn Iris and its Coq implementation:

• The Iris lecture notes provide a tutorial style introduction to Iris, including a number of exercises (but most of it not in Coq).
• The Iris tutorial in Coq is an Software-Foundations-style introduction to Iris, in Coq. It starts from scratch and does not assume knowledge of the Iris Lecture Notes, but many of the examples are drawn from the Iris Lecture Notes.
• The second half of Derek Dreyer's Semantics lecture notes gives an introduction to Iris, including exercises and a Coq development.
• The Iris Tutorial at POPL'21 contains a number of exercises to practice the Iris tactics in Coq. A video recording of the tutorial talk is also available.
• The paper A Logical Approach to Type Soundness shows how Iris can be used to prove type soundness. See also the video recording of Derek Dreyer's POPL'18 keynote and the Iris Tutorial at POPL'20.

A selection of papers that are suited to get started with Iris:

• The Iris From The Ground Up paper contains an extensive description of the rules and the model of the Iris logic.
• The Iris Proofmode paper (Section 3) contains a brief tutorial to the Iris tactics in Coq.
• The Iris Proof Mode (IPM) / MoSeL and the HeapLang documentation provide a reference of the Iris tactics in Coq.
