On the project

Projekt je příspěvkem k výzkumu realizovanému v rámci COST akce IC0901: Rich Model Toolkit - An Infrastructure for Reliable Computer Systems, zaměřené (1) na vývoj jazyka pro homogenní popis co nejširšího spektra počítačových systémů pro potřeby jejich následné verifikace a (2) na výzkum v oblasti metod formální verifikace s cílem výrazně zvýšit míru jejich obecnosti, efektivnosti a stupně automatizace. Výzkum v projektu se konkrétně zaměří na dva aspekty chování počítačových systémů představující významnou výzvu pro současné verifikační přístupy, a to na práci se složitými datovými strukturami (včetně dynamických datových struktur založených na ukazatelích) a na použití paralelismu v moderních počítačových systémech. V prvním případě se bude jednat zejména o výzkum metod symbolické verifikace založených na aplikacích teorie automatů, logik a jejich kombinací. V druhém případě pak o výzkum v oblasti model checkingu, statické analýzy, dynamické analýzy i jejich vhodných kombinací s cílem dosáhnout tímto způsobem významného zlepšení možností verifikace současných masivně paralelních systémů.

Description in English
The project contributes to the research planned within the COST action IC0901: Rich Model Toolkit - An Infrastructure for Reliable Computer Systems, which is targeted at (1) development of a language for describing in a homogeneous way a broad range of computer systems to be verified and (2) research in the area of methods for formal verification with the goal of significantly increasing their generality, efficiency, and degree of automation. The proposed project in particular considers two aspects of the systems dealt with in the COST action IC0901 that constitute a very significant challenge for the current verification methods. Namely, the project considers development of new verification methods for computer systems with complex data structures (including dynamic data structures based on pointers) and/or with advanced features of concurrency. In the former case, the project concentrates on research on symbolic verification methods based on the theory of automata, logics, and their combinations. In the latter case, the project pursues research in the areas of model checking, static analysis, dynamic analysis as well as their suitable combinations aimed at significantly improving their capabilities for verification of modern massively concurrent systems.
