We will present an overview of our work on model-based system design.
The technical part of the talk will focus on recent works on program synthesis
and model learning. In particular, we will discuss synthesis of distributed
protocols from scenarios and requirements, learning finite state machines,
and synthesis of property-preserving mappings for security.
