Automata in Infinite-state Formal Verification
Lengál, Ondřej ; Jančar, Petr (oponent) ; Veith, Helmut (oponent) ; Esparza, Javier (oponent) ; Vojnar, Tomáš (vedoucí práce)
The work presented in this thesis focuses on finite state automata over finite words and finite trees, and the use of such automata in formal verification of infinite-state systems. First, we focus on extensions of a previously introduced framework for verifi cation of heap-manipulating programs-in particular programs with complex dynamic data structures-based on tree automata. We propose several extensions to the framework, such as making it fully automated or extending it to consider ordering over data values. Further, we also propose novel decision procedures for two logics that are often used in formal verification: separation logic and weak monadic second order logic of one successor. These decision procedures are based on a translation of the problem into the domain of automata and subsequent manipulation in the target domain. Finally, we have also developed new approaches for efficient manipulation with tree automata, mainly for testing language inclusion and for handling automata with large alphabets, and implemented them in a library for general use. The developed algorithms are used as the key technology to make the above mentioned techniques feasible in practice.

Efficient Automata Techniques and Their Applications
Havlena, Vojtěch ; Jančar, Petr (oponent) ; Mayr, Richard (oponent) ; Esparza, Javier (oponent) ; Vojnar, Tomáš (vedoucí práce)
This thesis develops efficient techniques for finite automata and their applications. In particular, we focus on finite automata in network intrusion detection and automata in decision procedures and verification. In the first part of the thesis, we propose techniques of approximate reduction of nondeterministic automata decreasing consumption of resources of hardware-accelerated deep packet inspection. The second part is devoted to automata in decision procedures, in particular, to weak monadic second-order logic of k successors (WSkS) and the theory of strings. We propose a novel decision procedure for WS2S based on automata terms allowing one to effectively prune the state space. Further, we study techniques of WSkS formulae preprocessing intended to reduce the sizes of constructed intermediate automata. Moreover, we employ automata in a decision procedure of the theory of strings for efficient handling of the proof graph. The last part of the thesis then proposes optimizations in rank-based Buchi automata complementation reducing the number of generated states during the construction.
