Abstract

A constant growth in the complexity of computerized systems together with
increasing demands on their reliability have currently lead to a strong interest
in development of  automated methods and tools for rigorous verification of
correctness of such systems. Systems that attract a special attention include
protocols of computer and telecommunication networks, concurrent software of
control and operating systems, hardware communication protocols, etc. While many
relatively efficient verification methods have been proposed for the case the
considered systems have a finite state space, automatic verification of
infinite-state and parametric systems is significantly less developed. Many
practically important systems of this kind are not covered by any automatic
verification methods, or the available methods are not very efficient. Based on
experience of the applicant with current capabilities and restrictions of such
methods, the proposed project aims at their further development towards higher
efficiency and broader applicability. A special attention will be devoted to
methods of symbolic verification based on using automata and transducers for
handling sets of states. Possibilities of using new types of automata together
with new techniques for efficient manipulation of the current as well as newly
considered types of automata will be examined. Besides the mentioned methods of
symbolic verification, methods based on cut-offs and automated abstraction will
be explored too. The goal of the project is not only a theoretical research, but
also a prototype implementation of at least the most promising approaches out of
the proposed ones.
