text: We argue that the time is ripe to investigate differential monitoring, in
which the specification of a program's behavior is implicitly given by a second
program implementing the same informal specification. Similar ideas have been
proposed before, and are currently implemented in restricted form for testing
and specialized run-time analyses, aspects of which we combine. We discuss the
challenges of implementing differential monitoring as a general-purpose, black-box
run-time monitoring framework, and present promising results of a preliminary
implementation, showing low monitoring overheads for diverse programs.

text: "With the lithium-ion technology approaching its intrinsic limit with graphite-based
anodes, lithium metal is recently receiving renewed interest from the battery
community as potential high capacity anode for next-generation rechargeable batteries.
In this focus paper, we review the main advances in this field since the first
attempts in the\r\nmid-1970s. Strategies for enabling reversible cycling and avoiding
dendrite growth are thoroughly discussed, including specific applications in all-solid-state
(polymeric and inorganic), Lithium-sulphur and Li-O2 (air) batteries. A particular
attention is paid to review recent developments in regard of prototype manufacturing
and current state-ofthe-art of these battery technologies with respect to the
2030 targets of the EU Integrated Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan)
Action 7."

text: "We consider the problem of expected cost analysis over nondeterministic probabilistic
programs, which aims at automated methods for analyzing the resource-usage of
such programs. Previous approaches for this problem could only handle nonnegative
bounded costs. However, in many scenarios, such as queuing networks or analysis
of cryptocurrency protocols, both positive and negative costs are necessary and
the costs are unbounded as well.\r\n\r\nIn this work, we present a sound and efficient
approach to obtain polynomial bounds on the expected accumulated cost of nondeterministic
probabilistic programs. Our approach can handle (a) general positive and negative
costs with bounded updates in variables; and (b) nonnegative costs with general
updates to variables. We show that several natural examples which could not be
handled by previous approaches are captured in our framework.\r\n\r\nMoreover,
our approach leads to an efficient polynomial-time algorithm, while no previous
approach for cost analysis of probabilistic programs could guarantee polynomial
runtime. Finally, we show the effectiveness of our approach by presenting experimental
results on a variety of programs, motivated by real-world applications, for which
we efficiently synthesize tight resource-usage bounds."

text: 'A fundamental algorithmic problem at the heart of static analysis is Dyck
reachability. The input is a graphwhere the edges are labeled with different types
of opening and closing parentheses, and the reachabilityinformation is computed
via paths whose parentheses are properly matched. We present new results for Dyckreachability
problems with applications to alias analysis and data-dependence analysis. Our
main contributions,that include improved upper bounds as well as lower bounds
that establish optimality guarantees, are asfollows:First, we consider Dyck reachability
on bidirected graphs, which is the standard way of performing field-sensitive
points-to analysis. Given a bidirected graph withnnodes andmedges, we present:
(i) an algorithmwith worst-case running timeO(m+n·α(n)), whereα(n)is the inverse
Ackermann function, improving thepreviously knownO(n2)time bound; (ii) a matching
lower bound that shows that our algorithm is optimalwrt to worst-case complexity;
and (iii) an optimal average-case upper bound ofO(m)time, improving thepreviously
knownO(m·logn)bound.Second, we consider the problem of context-sensitive data-dependence
analysis, where the task is to obtainanalysis summaries of library code in the
presence of callbacks. Our algorithm preprocesses libraries in almostlinear time,
after which the contribution of the library in the complexity of the client analysis
is only linear,and only wrt the number of call sites.Third, we prove that combinatorial
algorithms for Dyck reachability on general graphs with truly sub-cubic bounds
cannot be obtained without obtaining sub-cubic combinatorial algorithms for Boolean
MatrixMultiplication, which is a long-standing open problem. Thus we establish
that the existing combinatorialalgorithms for Dyck reachability are (conditionally)
optimal for general graphs. We also show that the samehardness holds for graphs
of constant treewidth.Finally, we provide a prototype implementation of our algorithms
for both alias analysis and data-dependenceanalysis. Our experimental evaluation
demonstrates that the new algorithms significantly outperform allexisting methods
on the two problems, over real-world benchmarks.'

text: "We present a new dynamic partial-order reduction method for stateless model
checking of concurrent programs. A common approach for exploring program behaviors
relies on enumerating the traces of the program, without storing the visited states
(aka stateless exploration). As the number of distinct traces grows exponentially,
dynamic partial-order reduction (DPOR) techniques have been successfully used
to partition the space of traces into equivalence classes (Mazurkiewicz partitioning),
with the goal of exploring only few representative traces from each class.\r\nWe
introduce a new equivalence on traces under sequential consistency semantics,
which we call the observation equivalence. Two traces are observationally equivalent
if every read event observes the same write event in both traces. While the traditional
Mazurkiewicz equivalence is control-centric, our new definition is data-centric.
We show that our observation equivalence is coarser than the Mazurkiewicz equivalence,
and in many cases even exponentially coarser. We devise a DPOR exploration of
the trace space, called data-centric DPOR, based on the observation equivalence.\r\n1.
For acyclic architectures, our algorithm is guaranteed to explore exactly one
representative trace from each observation class, while spending polynomial time
per class. Hence, our algorithm is optimal wrt the observation equivalence, and
in several cases explores exponentially fewer traces than any enumerative method
based on the Mazurkiewicz equivalence.\r\n2. For cyclic architectures, we consider
an equivalence between traces which is finer than the observation equivalence;
but coarser than the Mazurkiewicz equivalence, and in some cases is exponentially
coarser. Our data-centric DPOR algorithm remains optimal under this trace equivalence.
\r\nFinally, we perform a basic experimental comparison between the existing Mazurkiewicz-based
DPOR and our data-centric DPOR on a set of academic benchmarks. Our results show
a significant reduction in both running time and the number of explored equivalence
classes."

text: Synchronous programs are easy to specify because the side effects of an operation
are finished by the time the invocation of the operation returns to the caller.
Asynchronous programs, on the other hand, are difficult to specify because there
are side effects due to pending computation scheduled as a result of the invocation
of an operation. They are also difficult to verify because of the large number
of possible interleavings of concurrent asynchronous computation threads. We show
that specifications and correctness proofs for asynchronous programs can be structured
by introducing the fiction, for proof purposes, that intermediate, non-quiescent
states of asynchronous operations can be ignored. Then, the task of specification
becomes relatively simple and the task of verification can be naturally decomposed
into smaller sub-tasks. The sub-tasks iteratively summarize, guided by the structure
of an asynchronous program, the atomic effect of non-atomic operations and the
synchronous effect of asynchronous operations. This structuring of specifications
and proofs corresponds to the introduction of multiple layers of stepwise refinement
for asynchronous programs. We present the first proof rule, called synchronization,
to reduce asynchronous invocations on a lower layer to synchronous invocations
on a higher layer. We implemented our proof method in CIVL and evaluated it on
a collection of benchmark programs.

text: 'We consider the quantitative analysis problem for interprocedural control-flow
graphs (ICFGs). The input consists of an ICFG, a positive weight function that
assigns every transition a positive integer-valued number, and a labelling of
the transitions (events) as good, bad, and neutral events. The weight function
assigns to each transition a numerical value that represents ameasure of how good
or bad an event is. The quantitative analysis problem asks whether there is a
run of the ICFG where the ratio of the sum of the numerical weights of good events
versus the sum of weights of bad events in the long-run is at least a given threshold
(or equivalently, to compute the maximal ratio among all valid paths in the ICFG).
The quantitative analysis problem for ICFGs can be solved in polynomial time,
and we present an efficient and practical algorithm for the problem. We show that
several problems relevant for static program analysis, such as estimating the
worst-case execution time of a program or the average energy consumption of a
mobile application, can be modeled in our framework. We have implemented our algorithm
as a tool in the Java Soot framework. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our
approach with two case studies. First, we show that our framework provides a sound
approach (no false positives) for the analysis of inefficiently-used containers.
Second, we show that our approach can also be used for static profiling of programs
which reasons about methods that are frequently invoked. Our experimental results
show that our tool scales to relatively large benchmarks, and discovers relevant
and useful information that can be used to optimize performance of the programs. '

text: "The fixation probability is the probability that a new mutant introduced
in a homogeneous population eventually takes over the entire population.\r\nThe
fixation probability is a fundamental quantity of natural selection, and known
to depend on the population structure.\r\nAmplifiers of natural selection are
population structures which increase the fixation probability of advantageous
mutants, as compared to the baseline case of well-mixed populations. In this work
we focus on symmetric population structures represented as undirected graphs.
In the regime of undirected graphs, the strongest amplifier known has been the
Star graph, and the existence of undirected graphs with stronger amplification
properties has remained open for over a decade.\r\nIn this work we present the
Comet and Comet-swarm families of undirected graphs. We show that for a range
of fitness values of the mutants, the Comet and Comet-swarm graphs have fixation
probability strictly larger than the fixation probability of the Star graph, for
fixed population size and at the limit of large populations, respectively."

text: "We study the problem of developing efficient approaches for proving termination
of recursive programs with one-dimensional arrays. Ranking functions serve as
a sound and complete approach for proving termination of non-recursive programs
without array operations. First, we generalize ranking functions to the notion
of measure functions, and prove that measure functions (i) provide a sound method
to prove termination of recursive programs (with one-dimensional arrays), and
(ii) is both sound and complete over recursive programs without array operations.
Our second contribution is the synthesis of measure functions of specific forms
in polynomial time. More precisely, we prove that (i) polynomial measure functions
over recursive programs can be synthesized in polynomial time through Farkas’
Lemma and Handelman’s Theorem, and (ii) measure functions involving logarithm
and exponentiation can be synthesized in polynomial time through abstraction of
logarithmic or exponential terms and Handelman’s Theorem. A key application of
our method is the worst-case analysis of recursive programs. While previous methods
obtain worst-case polynomial bounds of the form O(n^k), where k is an integer,
our polynomial time methods can synthesize bounds of the form O(n log n), as well
as O(n^x), where x is not an integer. We show the applicability of our automated
technique to obtain worst-case complexity of classical recursive algorithms such
as (i) Merge-Sort, the divideand-\r\nconquer algorithm for the Closest-Pair problem,
where we obtain O(n log n) worst-case bound, and (ii) Karatsuba’s algorithm for
polynomial multiplication and Strassen’s algorithm for matrix multiplication,
where we obtain O(n^x) bound, where x is not an integer and close to the best-known
bounds for the respective algorithms. Finally, we present experimental results
to demonstrate the\r\neffectiveness of our approach."

text: "We consider the problem of developing automated techniques to aid the average-case
complexity analysis of programs. Several classical textbook algorithms have quite
efficient average-case complexity, whereas the corresponding worst-case bounds
are either inefficient (e.g., QUICK-SORT), or completely ineffective (e.g., COUPONCOLLECTOR).
Since the main focus of average-case analysis is to obtain efficient bounds, we
consider bounds that are either logarithmic,\r\nlinear, or almost-linear (O(log
n), O(n), O(n · log n),\r\nrespectively, where n represents the size of the input).
Our main contribution is a sound approach for deriving such average-case bounds
for randomized recursive programs. Our approach is efficient (a simple linear-time
algorithm), and it is based on (a) the analysis of recurrence relations induced
by randomized algorithms, and (b) a guess-and-check technique. Our approach can
infer the asymptotically optimal average-case bounds for classical randomized
algorithms, including RANDOMIZED-SEARCH, QUICKSORT, QUICK-SELECT, COUPON-COLLECTOR,
where the worstcase\r\nbounds are either inefficient (such as linear as compared
to logarithmic of average-case, or quadratic as compared to linear or almost-linear
of average-case), or ineffective. We have implemented our approach, and the experimental
results show that we obtain the bounds efficiently for various classical algorithms."

text: "We present a new dynamic partial-order reduction method for stateless model
checking of concurrent programs. A common approach for exploring program behaviors
relies on enumerating the traces of the program, without storing the visited states
(aka stateless exploration). As the number of distinct traces grows exponentially,
dynamic partial-order reduction (DPOR) techniques have been successfully used
to partition the space of traces into equivalence classes (Mazurkiewicz partitioning),
with the goal of exploring only few representative traces from each class.\r\nWe
introduce a new equivalence on traces under sequential consistency semantics,
which we call the observation equivalence. Two traces are observationally equivalent
if every read event observes the same write event in both traces. While the traditional
Mazurkiewicz equivalence is control-centric, our new definition is data-centric.
We show that our observation equivalence is coarser than the Mazurkiewicz equivalence,
and in many cases even exponentially coarser. We devise a DPOR exploration of
the trace space, called data-centric DPOR, based on the observation equivalence.\r\n1.
For acyclic architectures, our algorithm is guaranteed to explore exactly one
representative trace from each observation class, while spending polynomial time
per class. Hence, our algorithm is optimal wrt the observation equivalence, and
in several cases explores exponentially fewer traces than any enumerative method
based on the Mazurkiewicz equivalence.\r\n2. For cyclic architectures, we consider
an equivalence between traces which is finer than the observation equivalence;
but coarser than the Mazurkiewicz equivalence, and in some cases is exponentially
coarser. Our data-centric DPOR algorithm remains optimal under this trace equivalence.
\r\nFinally, we perform a basic experimental comparison between the existing Mazurkiewicz-based
DPOR and our data-centric DPOR on a set of academic benchmarks. Our results show
a significant reduction in both running time and the number of explored equivalence
classes."

text: "We consider finite-state concurrent stochastic games, played by k>=2 players
for an infinite number of rounds, where in every round, each player simultaneously
and independently of the other players chooses an action, whereafter the successor
state is determined by a probability distribution given by the current state and
the chosen actions. We consider reachability objectives that given a target set
of states require that some state in the target set is visited, and the dual safety
objectives that given a target set require that only states in the target set
are visited. We are interested in the complexity of stationary strategies measured
by their patience, which is defined as the inverse of the smallest non-zero probability
employed.\r\n\r\n Our main results are as follows: We show that in two-player
zero-sum concurrent stochastic games (with reachability objective for one player
and the complementary safety objective for the other player): (i) the optimal
bound on the patience of optimal and epsilon-optimal strategies, for both players
is doubly exponential; and (ii) even in games with a single non-absorbing state
exponential (in the number of actions) patience is necessary. In general we study
the class of non-zero-sum games admitting epsilon-Nash equilibria. We show that
if there is at least one player with reachability objective, then doubly-exponential
patience is needed in general for epsilon-Nash equilibrium strategies, whereas
in contrast if all players have safety objectives, then the optimal bound on patience
for epsilon-Nash equilibrium strategies is only exponential."

text: DEC-POMDPs extend POMDPs to a multi-agent setting, where several agents operate
in an uncertain environment independently to achieve a joint objective. DEC-POMDPs
have been studied with finite-horizon and infinite-horizon discounted-sum objectives,
and there exist solvers both for exact and approximate solutions. In this work
we consider Goal-DEC-POMDPs, where given a set of target states, the objective
is to ensure that the target set is reached with minimal cost. We consider the
indefinite-horizon (infinite-horizon with either discounted-sum, or undiscounted-sum,
where absorbing goal states have zero-cost) problem. We present a new method to
solve the problem that extends methods for finite-horizon DEC- POMDPs and the
RTDP-Bel approach for POMDPs. We present experimental results on several examples,
and show our approach presents promising results.

text: "We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple limit-average
(or mean-payoff) objectives. \r\nThere have been two different views: (i) the
expectation semantics, where the goal is to optimize the expected mean-payoff
objective, and (ii) the satisfaction semantics, where the goal is to maximize
the probability of runs such that the mean-payoff value stays above a given vector.
\ \r\nWe consider the problem where the goal is to optimize the expectation under
the constraint that the satisfaction semantics is ensured, and thus consider a
generalization that unifies the existing semantics.\r\nOur problem captures the
notion of optimization with respect to strategies that are risk-averse (i.e.,
ensures certain probabilistic guarantee).\r\nOur main results are algorithms for
the decision problem which are always polynomial in the size of the MDP. We also
show that an approximation of the Pareto-curve can be computed in time polynomial
in the size of the MDP, and the approximation factor, but exponential in the number
of dimensions.\r\nFinally, we present a complete characterization of the strategy
complexity (in terms of memory bounds and randomization) required to solve our

text: "We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple limit-average
(or mean-payoff) objectives. \r\nThere have been two different views: (i) the
expectation semantics, where the goal is to optimize the expected mean-payoff
objective, and (ii) the satisfaction semantics, where the goal is to maximize
the probability of runs such that the mean-payoff value stays above a given vector.
\ \r\nWe consider the problem where the goal is to optimize the expectation under
the constraint that the satisfaction semantics is ensured, and thus consider a
generalization that unifies the existing semantics. Our problem captures the notion
of optimization with respect to strategies that are risk-averse (i.e., ensures
certain probabilistic guarantee).\r\nOur main results are algorithms for the decision
problem which are always polynomial in the size of the MDP.\r\nWe also show that
an approximation of the Pareto-curve can be computed in time polynomial in the
size of the MDP, and the approximation factor, but exponential in the number of
dimensions. Finally, we present a complete characterization of the strategy complexity
(in terms of memory bounds and randomization) required to solve our problem."

text: "Recently there has been a significant effort to handle quantitative properties
in formal verification and synthesis. While weighted automata over finite and
infinite words provide a natural and flexible framework to express quantitative
properties, perhaps surprisingly, some basic system properties such as average
response time cannot be expressed using weighted automata, nor in any other know
decidable formalism. In this work, we introduce nested weighted automata as a
natural extension of weighted automata which makes it possible to express important
quantitative properties such as average response time.\r\nIn nested weighted automata,
a master automaton spins off and collects results from weighted slave automata,
each of which computes a quantity along a finite portion of an infinite word.
Nested weighted automata can be viewed as the quantitative analogue of monitor
automata, which are used in run-time verification. We establish an almost complete
decidability picture for the basic decision problems about nested weighted automata,
and illustrate their applicability in several domains. In particular, nested weighted
automata can be used to decide average response time properties."

text: 'The target discounted-sum problem is the following: Given a rational discount
factor 0 < λ < 1 and three rational values a, b, and t, does there exist a finite
or an infinite sequence w ε(a, b)∗ or w ε(a, b)w, such that Σ|w| i=0 w(i)λi equals
t? The problem turns out to relate to many fields of mathematics and computer
science, and its decidability question is surprisingly hard to solve. We solve
the finite version of the problem, and show the hardness of the infinite version,
linking it to various areas and open problems in mathematics and computer science:
β-expansions, discounted-sum automata, piecewise affine maps, and generalizations
of the Cantor set. We provide some partial results to the infinite version, among
which are solutions to its restriction to eventually-periodic sequences and to
the cases that λ λ 1/2 or λ = 1/n, for every n ε N. We use our results for solving

text: "The edit distance between two words w1, w2 is the minimal number of word
operations (letter insertions, deletions, and substitutions) necessary to transform
w1 to w2. The edit distance generalizes to languages L1, L2, where the edit distance
is the minimal number k such that for every word from L1 there exists a word in
L2 with edit distance at most k. We study the edit distance computation problem
between pushdown automata and their subclasses.\r\nThe problem of computing edit
distance to a pushdown automaton is undecidable, and in practice, the interesting
question is to compute the edit distance from a pushdown automaton (the implementation,
a standard model for programs with recursion) to a regular language (the specification).
In this work, we present a complete picture of decidability and complexity for
deciding whether, for a given threshold k, the edit distance from a pushdown automaton
to a finite automaton is at most k. "

text: 'Evolution occurs in populations of reproducing individuals. The structure
of the population affects the outcome of the evolutionary process. Evolutionary
graph theory is a powerful approach to study this phenomenon. There are two graphs.
The interaction graph specifies who interacts with whom for payoff in the context
of evolution. The replacement graph specifies who competes with whom for reproduction.
The vertices of the two graphs are the same, and each vertex corresponds to an
individual of the population. The fitness (or the reproductive rate) is a non-negative
number, and depends on the payoff. A key quantity is the fixation probability
of a new mutant. It is defined as the probability that a newly introduced mutant
(on a single vertex) generates a lineage of offspring which eventually takes over
the entire population of resident individuals. The basic computational questions
are as follows: (i) the qualitative question asks whether the fixation probability
is positive; and (ii) the quantitative approximation question asks for an approximation
of the fixation probability. Our main results are as follows: First, we consider
a special case of the general problem, where the residents do not reproduce. We
show that the qualitative question is NP-complete, and the quantitative approximation
question is #P-complete, and the hardness results hold even in the special case
where the interaction and the replacement graphs coincide. Second, we show that
in general both the qualitative and the quantitative approximation questions are
PSPACE-complete. The PSPACE-hardness result for quantitative approximation holds
even when the fitness is always positive.'

text: A comprehensive understanding of the clonal evolution of cancer is critical
for understanding neoplasia. Genome-wide sequencing data enables evolutionary
studies at unprecedented depth. However, classical phylogenetic methods often
struggle with noisy sequencing data of impure DNA samples and fail to detect subclones
that have different evolutionary trajectories. We have developed a tool, called
Treeomics, that allows us to reconstruct the phylogeny of a cancer with commonly
available sequencing technologies. Using Bayesian inference and Integer Linear
Programming, robust phylogenies consistent with the biological processes underlying
cancer evolution were obtained for pancreatic, ovarian, and prostate cancers.
Furthermore, Treeomics correctly identified sequencing artifacts such as those
resulting from low statistical power; nearly 7% of variants were misclassified
by conventional statistical methods. These artifacts can skew phylogenies by creating
illusory tumor heterogeneity among distinct samples. Importantly, we show that
the evolutionary trees generated with Treeomics are mathematically optimal.

text: POMDPs are standard models for probabilistic planning problems, where an agent
interacts with an uncertain environment. We study the problem of almost-sure reachability,
where given a set of target states, the question is to decide whether there is
a policy to ensure that the target set is reached with probability 1 (almost-surely).
While in general the problem is EXPTIME-complete, in many practical cases policies
with a small amount of memory suffice. Moreover, the existing solution to the
problem is explicit, which first requires to construct explicitly an exponential
reduction to a belief-support MDP. In this work, we first study the existence
of observation-stationary strategies, which is NP-complete, and then small-memory
strategies. We present a symbolic algorithm by an efficient encoding to SAT and
using a SAT solver for the problem. We report experimental results demonstrating
the scalability of our symbolic (SAT-based) approach.

text: We study algorithmic questions for concurrent systems where the transitions
are labeled from a complete, closed semiring, and path properties are algebraic
with semiring operations. The algebraic path properties can model dataflow analysis
problems, the shortest path problem, and many other natural problems that arise
in program analysis. We consider that each component of the concurrent system
is a graph with constant treewidth, a property satisfied by the controlflow graphs
of most programs. We allow for multiple possible queries, which arise naturally
in demand driven dataflow analysis. The study of multiple queries allows us to
consider the tradeoff between the resource usage of the one-time preprocessing
and for each individual query. The traditional approach constructs the product
graph of all components and applies the best-known graph algorithm on the product.
In this approach, even the answer to a single query requires the transitive closure
(i.e., the results of all possible queries), which provides no room for tradeoff
between preprocessing and query time. Our main contributions are algorithms that
significantly improve the worst-case running time of the traditional approach,
and provide various tradeoffs depending on the number of queries. For example,
in a concurrent system of two components, the traditional approach requires hexic
time in the worst case for answering one query as well as computing the transitive
closure, whereas we show that with one-time preprocessing in almost cubic time,
each subsequent query can be answered in at most linear time, and even the transitive
closure can be computed in almost quartic time. Furthermore, we establish conditional
optimality results showing that the worst-case running time of our algorithms
cannot be improved without achieving major breakthroughs in graph algorithms (i.e.,
improving the worst-case bound for the shortest path problem in general graphs).
Preliminary experimental results show that our algorithms perform favorably on
several benchmarks.

text: "Model-based testing is a promising technology for black-box software and
hardware testing, in which test cases are generated automatically from high-level
specifications. Nowadays, systems typically consist of multiple interacting components
and, due to their complexity, testing presents a considerable portion of the effort
and cost in the design process. Exploiting the compositional structure of system
specifications can considerably reduce the effort in model-based testing. Moreover,
inferring properties about the system from testing its individual components allows
the designer to reduce the amount of integration testing.\r\nIn this paper, we
study compositional properties of the IOCO-testing theory. We propose a new approach
to composition and hiding operations, inspired by contract-based design and interface
theories. These operations preserve behaviors that are compatible under composition
and hiding, and prune away incompatible ones. The resulting specification characterizes
the input sequences for which the unit testing of components is sufficient to
infer the correctness of component integration without the need for further tests.
We provide a methodology that uses these results to minimize integration testing
effort, but also to detect potential weaknesses in specifications. While we focus
on asynchronous models and the IOCO conformance relation, the resulting methodology
can be applied to a broader class of systems."

text: "We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) which are a standard model for
probabilistic systems. We focus on qualitative properties for MDPs that can express
that desired behaviors of the system arise almost-surely (with probability 1)
or with positive probability.\r\nWe introduce a new simulation relation to capture
the refinement relation of MDPs with respect to qualitative properties, and present
discrete graph theoretic algorithms with quadratic complexity to compute the simulation
relation.\r\nWe present an automated technique for assume-guarantee style reasoning
for compositional analysis of MDPs with qualitative properties by giving a counter-example
guided abstraction-refinement approach to compute our new simulation relation.
We have implemented our algorithms and show that the compositional analysis leads
to significant improvements. "

text: "We consider the reachability and shortest path problems on low tree-width
graphs, with n nodes, m edges, and tree-width t, on a standard RAM with wordsize
W. We use O to hide polynomial factors of the inverse of the Ackermann function.
Our main contributions are three fold:\r\n1. For reachability, we present an algorithm
that requires O(n·t2·log(n/t)) preprocessing time, O(n·(t·log(n/t))/W) space,
and O(t/W) time for pair queries and O((n·t)/W) time for single-source queries.
Note that for constant t our algorithm uses O(n·logn) time for preprocessing;
and O(n/W) time for single-source queries, which is faster than depth first search/breath
first search (after the preprocessing).\r\n2. We present an algorithm for shortest
path that requires O(n·t2) preprocessing time, O(n·t) space, and O(t2) time for
pair queries and O(n·t) time single-source queries.\r\n3. We give a space versus
query time trade-off algorithm for shortest path that, given any constant >0,
requires O(n·t2) preprocessing time, O(n·t2) space, and O(n1−·t2) time for pair
queries.\r\nOur algorithms improve all existing results, and use very simple data
structures."

text: "We define the model-measuring problem: given a model M and specification
φ, what is the maximal distance ρ such that all models M'within distance ρ from
M satisfy (or violate)φ. The model measuring problem presupposes a distance function
on models. We concentrate on automatic distance functions, which are defined by
weighted automata.\r\nThe model-measuring problem subsumes several generalizations
of the classical model-checking problem, in particular, quantitative model-checking
problems that measure the degree of satisfaction of a specification, and robustness
problems that measure how much a model can be perturbed without violating the
specification.\r\nWe show that for automatic distance functions, and ω-regular
linear-time and branching-time specifications, the model-measuring problem can
be solved.\r\nWe use automata-theoretic model-checking methods for model measuring,
replacing the emptiness question for standard word and tree automata by the optimal-weight
question for the weighted versions of these automata. We consider weighted automata
that accumulate weights by maximizing, summing, discounting, and limit averaging.
\r\nWe give several examples of using the model-measuring problem to compute various
notions of robustness and quantitative satisfaction for temporal specifications."

text: As hybrid systems involve continuous behaviors, they should be evaluated by
quantitative methods, rather than qualitative methods. In this paper we adapt
a quantitative framework, called model measuring, to the hybrid systems domain.
The model-measuring problem asks, given a model M and a specification, what is
the maximal distance such that all models within that distance from M satisfy
(or violate) the specification. A distance function on models is given as part
of the input of the problem. Distances, especially related to continuous behaviors
are more natural in the hybrid case than the discrete case. We are interested
in distances represented by monotonic hybrid automata, a hybrid counterpart of
(discrete) weighted automata, whose recognized timed languages are monotone (w.r.t.
inclusion) in the values of parameters.The contributions of this paper are twofold.
First, we give sufficient conditions under which the model-measuring problem can
be solved. Second, we discuss the modeling of distances and applications of the
model-measuring problem.

text: We consider multi-player graph games with partial-observation and parity objective.
While the decision problem for three-player games with a coalition of the first
and second players against the third player is undecidable, we present a decidability
result for partial-observation games where the first and third player are in a
coalition against the second player, thus where the second player is adversarial
but weaker due to partial-observation. We establish tight complexity bounds in
the case where player 1 is less informed than player 2, namely 2-EXPTIME-completeness
for parity objectives. The symmetric case of player 1 more informed than player
2 is much more complicated, and we show that already in the case where player
1 has perfect observation, memory of size non-elementary is necessary in general
for reachability objectives, and the problem is decidable for safety and reachability
objectives. Our results have tight connections with partial-observation stochastic
games for which we derive new complexity results.

text: 'We consider concurrent mean-payoff games, a very well-studied class of two-player
(player 1 vs player 2) zero-sum games on finite-state graphs where every transition
is assigned a reward between 0 and 1, and the payoff function is the long-run
average of the rewards. The value is the maximal expected payoff that player 1
can guarantee against all strategies of player 2. We consider the computation
of the set of states with value 1 under finite-memory strategies for player 1,
and our main results for the problem are as follows: (1) we present a polynomial-time
algorithm; (2) we show that whenever there is a finite-memory strategy, there
is a stationary strategy that does not need memory at all; and (3) we present
an optimal bound (which is double exponential) on the patience of stationary strategies
(where patience of a distribution is the inverse of the smallest positive probability
and represents a complexity measure of a stationary strategy).'

text: 'We present a flexible framework for the automated competitive analysis of
on-line scheduling algorithms for firm- deadline real-time tasks based on multi-objective
graphs: Given a taskset and an on-line scheduling algorithm specified as a labeled
transition system, along with some optional safety, liveness, and/or limit-average
constraints for the adversary, we automatically compute the competitive ratio
of the algorithm w.r.t. a clairvoyant scheduler. We demonstrate the flexibility
and power of our approach by comparing the competitive ratio of several on-line
algorithms, including D(over), that have been proposed in the past, for various
tasksets. Our experimental results reveal that none of these algorithms is universally
optimal, in the sense that there are tasksets where other schedulers provide better
performance. Our framework is hence a very useful design tool for selecting optimal
algorithms for a given application. '

text: 'We consider graphs with n nodes together with their tree-decomposition that
has b = O ( n ) bags and width t , on the standard RAM computational model with
wordsize W = Θ (log n ) . Our contributions are two-fold: Our first contribution
is an algorithm that given a graph and its tree-decomposition as input, computes
a binary and balanced tree-decomposition of width at most 4 · t + 3 of the graph
in O ( b ) time and space, improving a long-standing (from 1992) bound of O (
n · log n ) time for constant treewidth graphs. Our second contribution is on
reachability queries for low treewidth graphs. We build on our tree-balancing
algorithm and present a data-structure for graph reachability that requires O
( n · t 2 ) preprocessing time, O ( n · t ) space, and O ( d t/ log n e ) time
for pair queries, and O ( n · t · log t/ log n ) time for single-source queries.
For constant t our data-structure uses O ( n ) time for preprocessing, O (1) time
for pair queries, and O ( n/ log n ) time for single-source queries. This is (asymptotically)
optimal and is faster than DFS/BFS when answering more than a constant number
of single-source queries.'

text: ' We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) with
a set of target states and every transition is associated with an integer cost.
The optimization objective we study asks to minimize the expected total cost till
the target set is reached, while ensuring that the target set is reached almost-surely
(with probability 1). We show that for integer costs approximating the optimal
cost is undecidable. For positive costs, our results are as follows: (i) we establish
matching lower and upper bounds for the optimal cost and the bound is double exponential;
(ii) we show that the problem of approximating the optimal cost is decidable and
present approximation algorithms developing on the existing algorithms for POMDPs
with finite-horizon objectives. While the worst-case running time of our algorithm
is double exponential, we also present efficient stopping criteria for the algorithm
and show experimentally that it performs well in many examples of interest.'

text: 'Recently there has been a significant effort to add quantitative properties
in formal verification and synthesis. While weighted automata over finite and
infinite words provide a natural and flexible framework to express quantitative
properties, perhaps surprisingly, several basic system properties such as average
response time cannot be expressed with weighted automata. In this work, we introduce
nested weighted automata as a new formalism for expressing important quantitative
properties such as average response time. We establish an almost complete decidability
picture for the basic decision problems for nested weighted automata, and illustrate
its applicability in several domains. '

text: 'Evolution occurs in populations of reproducing individuals. The structure
of the population affects the outcome of the evolutionary process. Evolutionary
graph theory is a powerful approach to study this phenomenon. There are two graphs.
The interaction graph specifies who interacts with whom in the context of evolution.
The replacement graph specifies who competes with whom for reproduction. The vertices
of the two graphs are the same, and each vertex corresponds to an individual.
A key quantity is the fixation probability of a new mutant. It is defined as the
probability that a newly introduced mutant (on a single vertex) generates a lineage
of offspring which eventually takes over the entire population of resident individuals.
The basic computational questions are as follows: (i) the qualitative question
asks whether the fixation probability is positive; and (ii) the quantitative approximation
question asks for an approximation of the fixation probability. Our main results
are: (1) We show that the qualitative question is NP-complete and the quantitative
approximation question is #P-hard in the special case when the interaction and
the replacement graphs coincide and even with the restriction that the resident
individuals do not reproduce (which corresponds to an invading population taking
over an empty structure). (2) We show that in general the qualitative question
is PSPACE-complete and the quantitative approximation question is PSPACE-hard
and can be solved in exponential time.'

text: "Simulation is an attractive alternative for language inclusion for automata
as it is an under-approximation of language inclusion, but usually has much lower
complexity. For non-deterministic automata, while language inclusion is PSPACE-complete,
simulation can be computed in polynomial time. Simulation has also been extended
in two orthogonal directions, namely, (1) fair simulation, for simulation over
specified set of infinite runs; and (2) quantitative simulation, for simulation
between weighted automata. Again, while fair trace inclusion is PSPACE-complete,
fair simulation can be computed in polynomial time. For weighted automata, the
(quantitative) language inclusion problem is undecidable for mean-payoff automata
and the decidability is open for discounted-sum automata, whereas the (quantitative)
simulation reduce to mean-payoff games and discounted-sum games, which admit pseudo-polynomial
time algorithms.\r\n\r\nIn this work, we study (quantitative) simulation for weighted
automata with Büchi acceptance conditions, i.e., we generalize fair simulation
from non-weighted automata to weighted automata. We show that imposing Büchi acceptance
conditions on weighted automata changes many fundamental properties of the simulation
games. For example, whereas for mean-payoff and discounted-sum games, the players
do not need memory to play optimally; we show in contrast that for simulation
games with Büchi acceptance conditions, (i) for mean-payoff objectives, optimal
strategies for both players require infinite memory in general, and (ii) for discounted-sum
objectives, optimal strategies need not exist for both players. While the simulation
games with Büchi acceptance conditions are more complicated (e.g., due to infinite-memory
requirements for mean-payoff objectives) as compared to their counterpart without
Büchi acceptance conditions, we still present pseudo-polynomial time algorithms
to solve simulation games with Büchi acceptance conditions for both weighted mean-payoff
and weighted discounted-sum automata."

text: In this work we present a flexible tool for tumor progression, which simulates
the evolutionary dynamics of cancer. Tumor progression implements a multi-type
branching process where the key parameters are the fitness landscape, the mutation
rate, and the average time of cell division. The fitness of a cancer cell depends
on the mutations it has accumulated. The input to our tool could be any fitness
landscape, mutation rate, and cell division time, and the tool produces the growth
dynamics and all relevant statistics.

text: 'We consider concurrent games played by two-players on a finite state graph,
where in every round the players simultaneously choose a move, and the current
state along with the joint moves determine the successor state. We study the most
fundamental objective for concurrent games, namely, mean-payoff or limit-average
objective, where a reward is associated to every transition, and the goal of player
1 is to maximize the long-run average of the rewards, and the objective of player
2 is strictly the opposite (i.e., the games are zero-sum). The path constraint
for player 1 could be qualitative, i.e., the mean-payoff is the maximal reward,
or arbitrarily close to it; or quantitative, i.e., a given threshold between the
minimal and maximal reward. We consider the computation of the almost-sure (resp.
positive) winning sets, where player 1 can ensure that the path constraint is
satisfied with probability 1 (resp. positive probability). Almost-sure winning
with qualitative constraint exactly corresponds to the question whether there
exists a strategy to ensure that the payoff is the maximal reward of the game.
Our main results for qualitative path constraints are as follows: (1) we establish
qualitative determinacy results that show for every state either player 1 has
a strategy to ensure almost-sure (resp. positive) winning against all player-2
strategies or player 2 has a spoiling strategy to falsify almost-sure (resp. positive)
winning against all player-1 strategies; (2) we present optimal strategy complexity
results that precisely characterize the classes of strategies required for almost-sure
and positive winning for both players; and (3) we present quadratic time algorithms
to compute the almost-sure and the positive winning sets, matching the best known
bound of the algorithms for much simpler problems (such as reachability objectives).
For quantitative constraints we show that a polynomial time solution for the almost-sure
or the positive winning set would imply a solution to a long-standing open problem
(of solving the value problem of mean-payoff games) that is not known to be in
polynomial time.'

text: "Linearizability requires that the outcome of calls by competing threads to
a concurrent data structure is the same as some sequential execution where each
thread has exclusive access to the data structure. In an ordered data structure,
such as a queue or a stack, linearizability is ensured by requiring threads commit
in the order dictated by the sequential semantics of the data structure; e.g.,
in a concurrent queue implementation a dequeue can only remove the oldest element.
\r\nIn this paper, we investigate the impact of this strict ordering, by comparing
what linearizability allows to what existing implementations do. We first give
an operational definition for linearizability which allows us to build the most
general linearizable implementation as a transition system for any given sequential
specification. We then use this operational definition to categorize linearizable
implementations based on whether they are bound or free. In a bound implementation,
whenever all threads observe the same logical state, the updates to the logical
state and the temporal order of commits coincide. All existing queue implementations
we know of are bound. We then proceed to present, to the best of our knowledge,
the first ever free queue implementation. Our experiments show that free implementations
have the potential for better performance by suffering less from contention."

text: We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) with ω-regular
conditions specified as parity objectives. The class of ω-regular languages extends
regular languages to infinite strings and provides a robust specification language
to express all properties used in verification, and parity objectives are canonical
forms to express ω-regular conditions. The qualitative analysis problem given
a POMDP and a parity objective asks whether there is a strategy to ensure that
the objective is satis- fied with probability 1 (resp. positive probability).
While the qualitative analysis problems are known to be undecidable even for very
special cases of parity objectives, we establish decidability (with optimal complexity)
of the qualitative analysis problems for POMDPs with all parity objectives under
finite- memory strategies. We establish asymptotically optimal (exponential) memory
bounds and EXPTIME- completeness of the qualitative analysis problems under finite-memory
strategies for POMDPs with parity objectives.

text: 'We study finite-state two-player (zero-sum) concurrent mean-payoff games
played on a graph. We focus on the important sub-class of ergodic games where
all states are visited infinitely often with probability 1. The algorithmic study
of ergodic games was initiated in a seminal work of Hoffman and Karp in 1966,
but all basic complexity questions have remained unresolved. Our main results
for ergodic games are as follows: We establish (1) an optimal exponential bound
on the patience of stationary strategies (where patience of a distribution is
the inverse of the smallest positive probability and represents a complexity measure
of a stationary strategy); (2) the approximation problem lie in FNP; (3) the approximation
problem is at least as hard as the decision problem for simple stochastic games
(for which NP and coNP is the long-standing best known bound). We show that the
exact value can be expressed in the existential theory of the reals, and also
establish square-root sum hardness for a related class of games.'

text: "The theory of graph games is the foundation for modeling and synthesizing
reactive processes. In the synthesis of stochastic processes, we use 2-1/2-player
games where some transitions of the game graph are controlled by two adversarial
players, the System and the Environment, and the other transitions are determined
probabilistically. We consider 2-1/2-player games where the objective of the System
is the conjunction of a qualitative objective (specified as a parity condition)
and a quantitative objective (specified as a mean-payoff condition). We establish
that the problem of deciding whether the System can ensure that the probability
to satisfy the mean-payoff parity objective is at least a given threshold is in
NP ∩ coNP, matching the best known bound in the special case of 2-player games
(where all transitions are deterministic) with only parity objectives, or with
only mean-payoff objectives. We present an algorithm running\r\nin time O(d ·
n^{2d}·MeanGame) to compute the set of almost-sure winning states from which the
objective\r\ncan be ensured with probability 1, where n is the number of states
of the game, d the number of priorities\r\nof the parity objective, and MeanGame
is the complexity to compute the set of almost-sure winning states\r\nin 2-1/2-player
mean-payoff games. Our results are useful in the synthesis of stochastic reactive
systems\r\nwith both functional requirement (given as a qualitative objective)
and performance requirement (given\r\nas a quantitative objective)."

text: "The edit distance between two (untimed) traces is the minimum cost of a sequence
of edit operations (insertion, deletion, or substitution) needed to transform
one trace to the other. Edit distances have been extensively studied in the untimed
setting, and form the basis for approximate matching of sequences in different
domains such as coding theory, parsing, and speech recognition. \r\nIn this paper,
we lift the study of edit distances from untimed languages to the timed setting.
We define an edit distance between timed words which incorporates both the edit
distance between the untimed words and the absolute difference in timestamps.
Our edit distance between two timed words is computable in polynomial time. Further,
we show that the edit distance between a timed word and a timed language generated
by a timed automaton, defined as the edit distance between the word and the closest
word in the language, is PSPACE-complete. While computing the edit distance between
two timed automata is undecidable, we show that the approximate version, where
we decide if the edit distance between two timed automata is either less than
a given parameter or more than delta away from the parameter, for delta>0, can
be solved in exponential space and is EXPSPACE-hard. Our definitions and techniques
can be generalized to the setting of hybrid systems, and we show analogous decidability
results for rectangular automata."

and eventually. (2) For specifications restricted to globally along with non-nested
next operators, we establish decidability (in EXPSPACE) for star architectures
where the processes receive disjoint inputs, whereas we establish undecidability
for architectures containing an information fork-meet structure. (3)Finally, we
consider LTL without the next operator, and establish decidability (NEXPTIME-complete)
for all architectures for a fragment that consists of a set of safety assumptions,
and a set of guarantees where each guarantee is a safety, reachability, or liveness
condition.'

text: "We consider two-player partial-observation stochastic games where player
1 has partial observation and player 2 has perfect observation. The winning condition
we study are omega-regular conditions specified as parity objectives. The qualitative
analysis problem given a partial-observation stochastic game and a parity objective
asks whether there is a strategy to ensure that the objective is satisfied with
probability 1 (resp. positive probability). While the qualitative analysis problems
are known to be undecidable even for very special cases of parity objectives,
they were shown to be decidable in 2EXPTIME under finite-memory strategies. We
improve the complexity and show that the qualitative analysis problems for partial-observation
stochastic parity games under finite-memory strategies are \r\nEXPTIME-complete;
and also establish optimal (exponential) memory bounds for finite-memory strategies
required for qualitative analysis. "

text: "Board games, like Tic-Tac-Toe and CONNECT-4, play an important role not only
in development of mathematical and logical skills, but also in emotional and social
development. In this paper, we address the problem of generating targeted starting
positions for such games. This can facilitate new approaches for bringing novice
players to mastery, and also leads to discovery of interesting game variants.
\r\nOur approach generates starting states of varying hardness levels for player
1 in a two-player board game, given rules of the board game, the desired number
of steps required for player 1 to win, and the expertise levels of the two players.
Our approach leverages symbolic methods and iterative simulation to efficiently
search the extremely large state space. We present experimental results that include
discovery of states of varying hardness levels for several simple grid-based board
games. Also, the presence of such states for standard game variants like Tic-Tac-Toe
on board size 4x4 opens up new games to be played that have not been played for
ages since the default start state is heavily biased. "

text: In order to guarantee that each method of a data structure updates the logical
state exactly once, al-most all non-blocking implementations employ Compare-And-Swap
(CAS) based synchronization. For FIFO queue implementations this translates into concurrent enqueue or dequeue methods
competing among themselves to update the same variable, the tail or the head,
respectively, leading to high contention and poor scalability. Recent non-blocking
queue implementations try to alleviate high contentionby increasing the number
of contention points, all the while using CAS-based synchronization. Furthermore,
obtaining a wait-free implementation with competition is achieved by additional
synchronization which leads to further degradation of performance.In this paper
we formalize the notion of competitiveness of a synchronizing statement which
can beused as a measure for the scalability of concurrent implementations. We
present a new queue implementation, the Speculative Pairing (SP) queue, which,
as we show, decreases competitiveness by using Fetch-And-Increment (FAI) instead
of CAS. We prove that the SP queue is linearizable and lock-free.We also show
that replacing CAS with FAI leads to wait-freedom for dequeue methods without
an adverse effect on performance. In fact, our experiments suggest that the SP
queue can perform and scale better than the state-of-the-art queue implementations.

text: 'Two-player games on graphs are central in many problems in formal verification
and program analysis such as synthesis and verification of open systems. In this
work we consider solving recursive game graphs (or pushdown game graphs) that
can model the control flow of sequential programs with recursion. While pushdown
games have been studied before with qualitative objectives, such as reachability
and ω-regular objectives, in this work we study for the first time such games
with the most well-studied quantitative objective, namely, mean-payoff objectives.
In pushdown games two types of strategies are relevant: (1) global strategies,
that depend on the entire global history; and (2) modular strategies, that have
only local memory and thus do not depend on the context of invocation, but only
on the history of the current invocation of the module. Our main results are as
follows: (1) One-player pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under global
strategies are decidable in polynomial time. (2) Two- player pushdown games with
mean-payoff objectives under global strategies are undecidable. (3) One-player
pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies are NP- hard.
(4) Two-player pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies
can be solved in NP (i.e., both one-player and two-player pushdown games with
mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies are NP-complete). We also establish
the optimal strategy complexity showing that global strategies for mean-payoff
objectives require infinite memory even in one-player pushdown games; and memoryless
modular strategies are sufficient in two- player pushdown games. Finally we also
show that all the problems have the same complexity if the stack boundedness condition
is added, where along with the mean-payoff objective the player must also ensure
that the stack height is bounded.'

text: 'One central issue in the formal design and analysis of reactive systems is
the notion of refinement that asks whether all behaviors of the implementation
is allowed by the specification. The local interpretation of behavior leads to
the notion of simulation. Alternating transition systems (ATSs) provide a general
model for composite reactive systems, and the simulation relation for ATSs is
known as alternating simulation. The simulation relation for fair transition systems
is called fair simulation. In this work our main contributions are as follows:
(1) We present an improved algorithm for fair simulation with Büchi fairness constraints;
our algorithm requires O(n3 · m) time as compared to the previous known O(n6)-time
algorithm, where n is the number of states and m is the number of transitions.
(2) We present a game based algorithm for alternating simulation that requires
O(m2)-time as compared to the previous known O((n · m)2)-time algorithm, where
n is the number of states and m is the size of transition relation. (3) We present
an iterative algorithm for alternating simulation that matches the time complexity
of the game based algorithm, but is more space efficient than the game based algorithm.'

text: We consider the problem of inference in agraphical model with binary variables.
While in theory it is arguably preferable to compute marginal probabilities, in
practice researchers often use MAP inference due to the availability of efficient
discrete optimization algorithms. We bridge the gap between the two approaches
by introducing the Discrete Marginals technique in which approximate marginals
are obtained by minimizing an objective function with unary and pair-wise terms
over a discretized domain. This allows the use of techniques originally devel-oped
for MAP-MRF inference and learning. We explore two ways to set up the objective
function - by discretizing the Bethe free energy and by learning it from training
data. Experimental results show that for certain types of graphs a learned function
can out-perform the Bethe approximation. We also establish a link between the
Bethe free energy and submodular functions.

text: Computing the winning set for Büchi objectives in alternating games on graphs
is a central problem in computer aided verification with a large number of applications.
The long standing best known upper bound for solving the problem is ̃O(n·m), where
n is the number of vertices and m is the number of edges in the graph. We are
the first to break the ̃O(n·m) boundary by presenting a new technique that reduces
the running time to O(n2). This bound also leads to O(n2) time algorithms for
computing the set of almost-sure winning vertices for Büchi objectives (1) in
alternating games with probabilistic transitions (improving an earlier bound of
O(n·m)), (2) in concurrent graph games with constant actions (improving an earlier
bound of O(n3)), and (3) in Markov decision processes (improving for m > n4/3
an earlier bound of O(min(m1.5, m·n2/3)). We also show that the same technique
can be used to compute the maximal end-component decomposition of a graph in time
O(n2), which is an improvement over earlier bounds for m > n4/3. Finally, we show
how to maintain the winning set for Büchi objectives in alternating games under
a sequence of edge insertions or a sequence of edge deletions in O(n) amortized
time per operation. This is the first dynamic algorithm for this problem.

text: "In two-player finite-state stochastic games of partial obser- vation on graphs,
in every state of the graph, the players simultaneously choose an action, and
their joint actions determine a probability distri- bution over the successor
states. The game is played for infinitely many rounds and thus the players construct
an infinite path in the graph. We consider reachability objectives where the first
player tries to ensure a target state to be visited almost-surely (i.e., with
probability 1) or pos- itively (i.e., with positive probability), no matter the
strategy of the second player.\r\n\r\nWe classify such games according to the
information and to the power of randomization available to the players. On the
basis of information, the game can be one-sided with either (a) player 1, or (b)
player 2 having partial observation (and the other player has perfect observation),
or two- sided with (c) both players having partial observation. On the basis of
randomization, (a) the players may not be allowed to use randomization (pure strategies),
or (b) they may choose a probability distribution over actions but the actual
random choice is external and not visible to the player (actions invisible), or
(c) they may use full randomization.\r\n\r\nOur main results for pure strategies
are as follows: (1) For one-sided games with player 2 perfect observation we show
that (in contrast to full randomized strategies) belief-based (subset-construction
based) strate- gies are not sufficient, and present an exponential upper bound
on mem- ory both for almost-sure and positive winning strategies; we show that
the problem of deciding the existence of almost-sure and positive winning strategies
for player 1 is EXPTIME-complete and present symbolic algo- rithms that avoid
the explicit exponential construction. (2) For one-sided games with player 1 perfect
observation we show that non-elementary memory is both necessary and sufficient
for both almost-sure and posi- tive winning strategies. (3) We show that for the
general (two-sided) case finite-memory strategies are sufficient for both positive
and almost-sure winning, and at least non-elementary memory is required. We establish
the equivalence of the almost-sure winning problems for pure strategies and for
randomized strategies with actions invisible. Our equivalence re- sult exhibit
serious flaws in previous results in the literature: we show a non-elementary
memory lower bound for almost-sure winning whereas an exponential upper bound
was previously claimed."

text: 'We consider 2-player games played on a finite state space for an infinite
number of rounds. The games are concurrent: in each round, the two players (player
1 and player 2) choose their moves independently and simultaneously; the current
state and the two moves determine the successor state. We study concurrent games
with ω-regular winning conditions specified as parity objectives. We consider
the qualitative analysis problems: the computation of the almost-sure and limit-sure
winning set of states, where player 1 can ensure to win with probability 1 and
with probability arbitrarily close to 1, respectively. In general the almost-sure
and limit-sure winning strategies require both infinite-memory as well as infinite-precision
(to describe probabilities). We study the bounded-rationality problem for qualitative
analysis of concurrent parity games, where the strategy set for player 1 is restricted
to bounded-resource strategies. In terms of precision, strategies can be deterministic,
uniform, finite-precision or infinite-precision; and in terms of memory, strategies
can be memoryless, finite-memory or infinite-memory. We present a precise and
complete characterization of the qualitative winning sets for all combinations
of classes of strategies. In particular, we show that uniform memoryless strategies
are as powerful as finite-precision infinite-memory strategies, and infinite-precision
memoryless strategies are as powerful as infinite-precision finite-memory strategies. We
show that the winning sets can be computed in O(n2d+3) time, where n is the size
of the game structure and 2d is the number of priorities (or colors), and our
algorithms are symbolic. The membership problem of whether a state belongs to
a winning set can be decided in NP ∩ coNP. While this complexity is the same as
for the simpler class of turn-based parity games, where in each state only one
of the two players has a choice of moves, our algorithms,that are obtained by
characterization of the winning sets as μ-calculus formulas, are considerably
more involved than those for turn-based games.'

the current state and the two moves determine a probability distribution over

We study concurrent games with ω-regular winning conditions specified as parity
objectives. The value for player 1 for a parity objective is the maximal probability
with which the player can guarantee the satisfaction of the objective against
all strategies of the opponent. We study the problem of continuity and robustness
of the value function in concurrent and turn-based stochastic parity games with
respect to imprecision in the transition probabilities. We present quantitative
bounds on the difference of the value function (in terms of the imprecision of
the transition probabilities) and show the value continuity for structurally equivalent
concurrent games (two games are structurally equivalent if the support of the
transition func- tion is same and the probabilities differ). We also show robustness
of optimal strategies for structurally equivalent turn-based stochastic parity
games. Finally we show that the value continuity property breaks without the structurally
equivalent assumption (even for Markov chains) and show that our quantitative
bound is asymptotically optimal. Hence our results are tight (the assumption is
both necessary and sufficient) and optimal (our quantitative bound is asymptotically
optimal).'

text: There is recently a significant effort to add quantitative objectives to formal
verification and synthesis. We introduce and investigate the extension of temporal
logics with quantitative atomic assertions, aiming for a general and flexible
framework for quantitative-oriented specifications. In the heart of quantitative
objectives lies the accumulation of values along a computation. It is either the
accumulated summation, as with the energy objectives, or the accumulated average,
as with the mean-payoff objectives. We investigate the extension of temporal logics
with the prefix-accumulation assertions Sum(v) ≥ c and Avg(v) ≥ c, where v is
a numeric variable of the system, c is a constant rational number, and Sum(v)
and Avg(v) denote the accumulated sum and average of the values of v from the
beginning of the computation up to the current point of time. We also allow the
path-accumulation assertions LimInfAvg(v) ≥ c and LimSupAvg(v) ≥ c, referring
to the average value along an entire computation. We study the border of decidability
for extensions of various temporal logics. In particular, we show that extending
the fragment of CTL that has only the EX, EF, AX, and AG temporal modalities by
prefix-accumulation assertions and extending LTL with path-accumulation assertions,
result in temporal logics whose model-checking problem is decidable. The extended
logics allow to significantly extend the currently known energy and mean-payoff
objectives. Moreover, the prefix-accumulation assertions may be refined with “controlled-accumulation”,
allowing, for example, to specify constraints on the average waiting time between
a request and a grant. On the negative side, we show that the fragment we point
to is, in a sense, the maximal logic whose extension with prefix-accumulation
assertions permits a decidable model-checking procedure. Extending a temporal
logic that has the EG or EU modalities, and in particular CTL and LTL, makes the
problem undecidable.

text: 'We introduce TopoCut: a new way to integrate knowledge about topological
properties (TPs) into random field image segmentation model. Instead of including
TPs as additional constraints during minimization of the energy function, we devise
an efficient algorithm for modifying the unary potentials such that the resulting
segmentation is guaranteed with the desired properties. Our method is more flexible
in the sense that it handles more topology constraints than previous methods,
which were only able to enforce pairwise or global connectivity. In particular,
our method is very fast, making it for the first time possible to enforce global
topological properties in practical image segmentation tasks.'

text: We present a new decidable logic called TREX for expressing constraints about
imperative tree data structures. In particular, TREX supports a transitive closure
operator that can express reachability constraints, which often appear in data
structure invariants. We show that our logic is closed under weakest precondition
computation, which enables its use for automated software verification. We further
show that satisfiability of formulas in TREX is decidable in NP. The low complexity
makes it an attractive alternative to more expensive logics such as monadic second-order
logic (MSOL) over trees, which have been traditionally used for reasoning about
tree data structures.

text: 'We consider probabilistic automata on infinite words with acceptance defined
by parity conditions. We consider three qualitative decision problems: (i) the
positive decision problem asks whether there is a word that is accepted with positive
probability; (ii) the almost decision problem asks whether there is a word that
is accepted with probability 1; and (iii) the limit decision problem asks whether
for every ε > 0 there is a word that is accepted with probability at least 1 −
ε. We unify and generalize several decidability results for probabilistic automata
over infinite words, and identify a robust (closed under union and intersection)
subclass of probabilistic automata for which all the qualitative decision problems
are decidable for parity conditions. We also show that if the input words are
restricted to lasso shape words, then the positive and almost problems are decidable
for all probabilistic automata with parity conditions.'

text: We consider Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with mean-payoff parity and energy
parity objectives. In system design, the parity objective is used to encode ω-regular
specifications, and the mean-payoff and energy objectives can be used to model
quantitative resource constraints. The energy condition re- quires that the resource
level never drops below 0, and the mean-payoff condi- tion requires that the limit-average
value of the resource consumption is within a threshold. While these two (energy
and mean-payoff) classical conditions are equivalent for two-player games, we
show that they differ for MDPs. We show that the problem of deciding whether a
state is almost-sure winning (i.e., winning with probability 1) in energy parity
MDPs is in NP ∩ coNP, while for mean- payoff parity MDPs, the problem is solvable
in polynomial time, improving a recent PSPACE bound.

text: "We present an algorithmic method for the synthesis of concurrent programs
that are optimal with respect to quantitative performance measures. The input
consists of a sequential sketch, that is, a program that does not contain synchronization
constructs, and of a parametric performance model that assigns costs to actions
such as locking, context switching, and idling. The quantitative synthesis problem
is to automatically introduce synchronization constructs into the sequential sketch
so that both correctness is guaranteed and worst-case (or average-case) performance
is optimized. Correctness is formalized as race freedom or linearizability.\r\n\r\nWe
show that for worst-case performance, the problem can be modeled\r\nas a 2-player
graph game with quantitative (limit-average) objectives, and\r\nfor average-case
performance, as a 2 1/2 -player graph game (with probabilistic transitions). In
both cases, the optimal correct program is derived from an optimal strategy in
the corresponding quantitative game. We prove that the respective game problems
are computationally expensive (NP-complete), and present several techniques that
overcome the theoretical difficulty in cases of concurrent programs of practical
interest.\r\n\r\nWe have implemented a prototype tool and used it for the automatic
syn- thesis of programs that access a concurrent list. For certain parameter val-
ues, our method automatically synthesizes various classical synchronization schemes
for implementing a concurrent list, such as fine-grained locking or a lazy algorithm.
For other parameter values, a new, hybrid synchronization style is synthesized,
which uses both the lazy approach and coarse-grained locks (instead of standard
fine-grained locks). The trade-off occurs because while fine-grained locking tends
to decrease the cost that is due to waiting for locks, it increases cache size
requirements."

text: Boolean notions of correctness are formalized by preorders on systems. Quantitative
measures of correctness can be formalized by real-valued distance functions between
systems, where the distance between implementation and specification provides
a measure of “fit” or “desirability.” We extend the simulation preorder to the
quantitative setting, by making each player of a simulation game pay a certain
price for her choices. We use the resulting games with quantitative objectives
to define three different simulation distances. The correctness distance measures
how much the specification must be changed in order to be satisfied by the implementation.
The coverage distance measures how much the im- plementation restricts the degrees
of freedom offered by the specification. The robustness distance measures how
much a system can deviate from the implementation description without violating
the specification. We consider these distances for safety as well as liveness
specifications. The distances can be computed in polynomial time for safety specifications,
and for liveness specifications given by weak fairness constraints. We show that
the distance functions satisfy the triangle inequality, that the distance between
two systems does not increase under parallel composition with a third system,
and that the distance between two systems can be bounded from above and below
by distances between abstractions of the two systems. These properties suggest
that our simulation distances provide an appropriate basis for a quantitative
theory of discrete systems. We also demonstrate how the robustness distance can
be used to measure how many transmission errors are tolerated by error correcting
codes.

text: Concurrent data structures with fine-grained synchronization are notoriously
difficult to implement correctly. The difficulty of reasoning about these implementations
does not stem from the number of variables or the program size, but rather from
the large number of possible interleavings. These implementations are therefore
prime candidates for model checking. We introduce an algorithm for verifying linearizability
of singly-linked heap-based concurrent data structures. We consider a model consisting
of an unbounded heap where each node consists an element from an unbounded data
domain, with a restricted set of operations for testing and updating pointers
and data elements. Our main result is that linearizability is decidable for programs
that invoke a fixed number of methods, possibly in parallel. This decidable fragment
covers many of the common implementation techniques — fine-grained locking, lazy
synchronization, and lock-free synchronization. We also show how the technique
can be used to verify optimistic implementations with the help of programmer annotations.
We developed a verification tool CoLT and evaluated it on a representative sample
of Java implementations of the concurrent set data structure. The tool verified
linearizability of a number of implementations, found a known error in a lock-free
imple- mentation and proved that the corrected version is linearizable.

text: The class of ω regular languages provide a robust specification language in
verification. Every ω-regular condition can be decomposed into a safety part and
a liveness part. The liveness part ensures that something good happens “eventually.”
Two main strengths of the classical, infinite-limit formulation of liveness are
robustness (independence from the granularity of transitions) and simplicity (abstraction
of complicated time bounds). However, the classical liveness formulation suffers
from the drawback that the time until something good happens may be unbounded.
A stronger formulation of liveness, so-called finitary liveness, overcomes this
drawback, while still retaining robustness and simplicity. Finitary liveness requires
that there exists an unknown, fixed bound b such that something good happens within
b transitions. In this work we consider the finitary parity and Streett (fairness)
conditions. We present the topological, automata-theoretic and logical characterization
of finitary languages defined by finitary parity and Streett conditions. We (a)
show that the finitary parity and Streett languages are Σ2-complete; (b) present
a complete characterization of the expressive power of various classes of automata
with finitary and infinitary conditions (in particular we show that non-deterministic
finitary parity and Streett automata cannot be determinized to deterministic finitary
parity or Streett automata); and (c) show that the languages defined by non-deterministic
finitary parity automata exactly characterize the star-free fragment of ωB-regular
languages.

text: We consider probabilistic automata on infinite words with acceptance defined
by safety, reachability, Büchi, coBüchi and limit-average conditions. We consider
quantitative and qualitative decision problems. We present extensions and adaptations
of proofs of [GO09] and present a precise characterization of the decidability
and undecidability frontier of the quantitative and qualitative decision problems.

text: 'We study observation-based strategies for partially-observable Markov decision
processes (POMDPs) with omega-regular objectives. An observation-based strategy
relies on partial information about the history of a play, namely, on the past
sequence of observa- tions. We consider the qualitative analysis problem: given
a POMDP with an omega-regular objective, whether there is an observation-based
strategy to achieve the objective with probability 1 (almost-sure winning), or
with positive probability (positive winning). Our main results are twofold. First,
we present a complete picture of the computational complexity of the qualitative
analysis of POMDPs with parity objectives (a canonical form to express omega-regular
objectives) and its subclasses. Our contribution consists in establishing several
upper and lower bounds that were not known in literature. Second, we present optimal
bounds (matching upper and lower bounds) on the memory required by pure and randomized
observation-based strategies for the qualitative analysis of POMDPs with parity
objectives and its subclasses.'
