Formal verification problems in a big data world : towards a mighty synergy

Formal verification requires high performance data processing software for extracting knowledge from the unprecedented amount of data coming from analyzed systems. Since cloud based computing resources have became easily accessible, there is an opportunity for verification techniques and tools to undergo a deep technological transition to exploit the new available architectures. This has created an increasing interest in parallelizing and distributing verification techniques. In this paper we introduce a distributed approach which exploits techniques typically used by the bigdata community to enable verification of very complex systems using bigdata approaches and cloud computing facilities
