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.
