Abstract

Use of the dynamic data structures is a common technique used in all bigger
software systems. On the other hand, searching for errors in such systems is very
complicated thanks to the fact that the data structure itself is hidden behind
the tricky pointer manipulations. Hence the automated methods for such programs
are greatly welcome. The whole verification problem is much more complicated in
the case, where several concurrent processes use a shared memory. Bad
interference of one of these processes into a dynamic data structure inside the
shared memory can interferes the other processes. Another complication for the
verification is recursive functions calls. Despite of the huge progress in this
area, a reliable verification tool for common use is still far away. Therefore
the goal of the proposed basic research project is development of methods for
this class of programs.
