Abstract

This project belongs to the area of software analysis and verification which is
currently a very important and live research area. Correctness of software is
nowadays crucial as software is widely used  in many safety critical roles. The
first goal of this project is to use a real-life software case study for
evaluating and comparing currently available tools for automated detection of
bugs in software. The case study will be taken from the case studies available
within the project SegraVis or from the open-source software community.
Consequently, based on the results obtained from the case study, we will improve
our currently developed tools (i.e., the tools associated with the formalism of
Object-Oriented Petri Nets which has been developed at applicant's home faculty
since 1996, and tools based on symbolic execution of Java byte-code which are
developed at the University Milano-Bicocca) to be more useful in practice.
Another significant benefit of this project is allowing the applicant to continue
his intensive cooperation with the foreign research team.
