Abstract

We depend more and more on computer systems, so their correctness and efficiency
are of paramount importance. The systems are getting more complex, their state
spaces grow exponentially, and techniques for ensuring correctness do not scale.
Therefore, bugs often escape into production, causing financial losses or
fatalities. This project aims to develop novel methods to compactly handle
gigantic state spaces of the systems. For that, I will build a bridge between the
rich, but arcane, automata theory, concerned mostly with theoretical questions,
and the more down-to-earth areas of solvers and formal verification, focused on
real-world performance. In particular, I will connect the two areas to design new
flexible and self-adaptable data structures that exploit the internal structure
of state spaces for their compact representation. Building on those, I will
develop tools able to handle state spaces of unprecedented size. The new paradigm
will fundamentally change how state spaces are represented and power the
production of fast, safe, and secure computer systems for the future.
