To this end, our paper extends the receptive field of convolutional neural networks with two residual components, ubiquitous in the visual processing system of vertebrates: On-center and off-center pathways, with an excitatory center and inhibitory surround; OOCS for short. The On-center pathway is excited by the presence of a light stimulus in its center, but not in its surround, whereas the Off-center pathway is excited by the absence of a light stimulus in its center, but not in its surround. We design OOCS pathways via a difference of Gaussians, with their variance computed analytically from the size of the receptive fields. OOCS pathways complement each other in their response to light stimuli, ensuring this way a strong edge-detection capability, and as a result an accurate and robust inference under challenging lighting conditions. We provide extensive empirical evidence showing that networks supplied with OOCS pathways gain accuracy and illumination-robustness from the novel edge representation, compared to other baselines.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["PMLR"],"file":[{"creator":"mlechner","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":4246561,"access_level":"open_access","file_name":"babaiee21a.pdf","success":1,"checksum":"d30eae62561bb517d9f978437d7677db","date_updated":"2022-01-26T07:38:32Z","date_created":"2022-01-26T07:38:32Z","file_id":"10681","relation":"main_file"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","user_id":"2EBD1598-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"10668","title":"On-off center-surround receptive fields for accurate and robust image classification","status":"public","ddc":["000"],"intvolume":" 139","day":"01","article_processing_charge":"No","has_accepted_license":"1","date_published":"2021-07-01T00:00:00Z","publication":"Proceedings of the 38th International Conference on Machine Learning","citation":{"apa":"Babaiee, Z., Hasani, R., Lechner, M., Rus, D., & Grosu, R.

However, such techniques often rely on traditional discrete-time neural models and face difficulties in generalizing to domain shifts by failing to account for the causal relationships between the agent and the environment. In this paper, we propose a theoretical and experimental framework for learning causal representations using continuous-time neural networks, specifically over their discrete-time counterparts. We evaluate our method in the context of visual-control learning of drones over a series of complex tasks, ranging from short- and long-term navigation, to chasing static and dynamic objects through photorealistic environments. Our results demonstrate that causal continuous-time\r\ndeep models can perform robust navigation tasks, where advanced recurrent models fail. These models learn complex causal control representations directly from raw visual inputs and scale to solve a variety of tasks using imitation learning."}],"citation":{"mla":"Vorbach, Charles J., et al. “Causal Navigation by Continuous-Time Neural Networks.” 35th Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, 2021.","short":"C.J.

However, most methods are designed for verification of an idealized model of the actual network which works over real arithmetic and ignores rounding imprecisions. This idealization is in stark contrast to network quantization, which is a technique that trades numerical precision for computational efficiency and is, therefore, often applied in practice. Neglecting rounding errors of such low-bit quantized neural networks has been shown to lead to wrong conclusions about the network’s correctness. Thus, the desired approach for verifying quantized neural networks would be one that takes these rounding errors\r\ninto account. In this paper, we show that verifying the bitexact implementation of quantized neural networks with bitvector specifications is PSPACE-hard, even though verifying idealized real-valued networks and satisfiability of bit-vector specifications alone are each in NP. Furthermore, we explore several practical heuristics toward closing the complexity gap between idealized and bit-exact verification. In particular, we propose three techniques for making SMT-based verification of quantized neural networks more scalable. Our experiments demonstrate that our proposed methods allow a speedup of up to three orders of magnitude over existing approaches.","lang":"eng"}],"issue":"5A","_id":"10665","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","ddc":["000"],"title":"Scalable verification of quantized neural networks","status":"public","intvolume":" 35","oa_version":"Published Version","file":[{"creator":"mlechner","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":137235,"access_level":"open_access","file_name":"16496-Article Text-19990-1-2-20210518 (1).pdf","success":1,"checksum":"2bc8155b2526a70fba5b7301bc89dbd1","date_created":"2022-01-26T07:41:16Z","date_updated":"2022-01-26T07:41:16Z","file_id":"10684","relation":"main_file"}]},{"date_created":"2022-01-25T15:45:58Z","date_updated":"2023-06-23T07:01:11Z","author":[{"full_name":"Lechner, Mathias","first_name":"Mathias","last_name":"Lechner","id":"3DC22916-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Žikelić, Ðorđe","last_name":"Žikelić","first_name":"Ðorđe"},{"last_name":"Chatterjee","first_name":"Krishnendu","orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X","id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu"},{"id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-2985-7724","first_name":"Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"11362","relation":"dissertation_contains","status":"public"}]},"publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"ToHe"},{"_id":"KrCh"}],"year":"2021","acknowledgement":"This research was supported in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grant Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award), ERC CoG 863818 (FoRM-SMArt), and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Grant Agreement No. 665385.","file_date_updated":"2022-01-26T07:39:59Z","ec_funded":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"conference":{"location":"Virtual","start_date":"2021-12-06","end_date":"2021-12-10","name":"NeurIPS: Neural Information Processing Systems"},"doi":"10.48550/arXiv.2111.03165","quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"grant_number":"665385","_id":"2564DBCA-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020","name":"International IST Doctoral Program"},{"_id":"0599E47C-7A3F-11EA-A408-12923DDC885E","grant_number":"863818","name":"Formal Methods for Stochastic Models: Algorithms and Applications","call_identifier":"H2020"},{"name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","call_identifier":"FWF","grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2111.03165"]},"tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (3.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png"},"oa":1,"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2021/hash/544defa9fddff50c53b71c43e0da72be-Abstract.html","open_access":"1"}],"month":"12","file":[{"file_id":"10682","relation":"main_file","success":1,"checksum":"0fc0f852525c10dda9cc9ffea07fb4e4","date_created":"2022-01-26T07:39:59Z","date_updated":"2022-01-26T07:39:59Z","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"infinite_time_horizon_safety_o.pdf","creator":"mlechner","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":452492}],"oa_version":"Published Version","title":"Infinite time horizon safety of Bayesian neural networks","ddc":["000"],"status":"public","user_id":"2EBD1598-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"10667","abstract":[{"text":"Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) place distributions over the weights of a neural network to model uncertainty in the data and the network's prediction. We consider the problem of verifying safety when running a Bayesian neural network policy in a feedback loop with infinite time horizon systems. Compared to the existing sampling-based approaches, which are inapplicable to the infinite time horizon setting, we train a separate deterministic neural network that serves as an infinite time horizon safety certificate. In particular, we show that the certificate network guarantees the safety of the system over a subset of the BNN weight posterior's support. Our method first computes a safe weight set and then alters the BNN's weight posterior to reject samples outside this set. Moreover, we show how to extend our approach to a safe-exploration reinforcement learning setting, in order to avoid unsafe trajectories during the training of the policy. We evaluate our approach on a series of reinforcement learning benchmarks, including non-Lyapunovian safety specifications.","lang":"eng"}],"alternative_title":[" Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems"],"type":"conference","date_published":"2021-12-01T00:00:00Z","publication":"35th Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems","citation":{"chicago":"Lechner, Mathias, Ðorđe Žikelić, Krishnendu Chatterjee, and Thomas A Henzinger. “Infinite Time Horizon Safety of Bayesian Neural Networks.” In 35th Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, 2021. https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2111.03165.","short":"M.

It has several applications in practice and is related to a fifty-year-old conjecture on the length of the shortest synchronizing word. Although using shorter words increases the effectiveness in practice, finding a shortest one (which is not necessarily unique) is NP-hard. For this reason, there exist various heuristics in the literature. However, high-quality heuristics such as SynchroP producing relatively shorter sequences are very expensive and can take hours when the automaton has tens of thousands of states. The SynchroP heuristic has been frequently used as a benchmark to evaluate the performance of the new heuristics. In this work, we first improve the runtime of SynchroP and its variants by using algorithmic techniques. We then focus on adapting SynchroP for many-core architectures,\r\nand overall, we obtain more than 1000× speedup on GPUs compared to naive sequential implementation that has been frequently used as a benchmark to evaluate new heuristics in the literature. We also propose two SynchroP variants and evaluate their performance."}]},{"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9781450383394"]},"month":"05","doi":"10.1145/3447928.3456704","conference":{"end_date":"2021-05-21","start_date":"2021-05-19","location":"Nashville, TN, United States","name":"HSCC: International Conference on Hybrid Systems Computation and Control"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2102.12734"],"isi":["000932821700028"]},"tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"oa":1,"project":[{"_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"Z211","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","call_identifier":"FWF"},{"name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships","call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"754411","_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"}],"quality_controlled":"1","isi":1,"ec_funded":1,"file_date_updated":"2021-05-25T13:53:22Z","author":[{"first_name":"Miriam","last_name":"Garcia Soto","id":"4B3207F6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0003-2936-5719","full_name":"Garcia Soto, Miriam"},{"first_name":"Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-2985-7724","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A"},{"full_name":"Schilling, Christian","last_name":"Schilling","first_name":"Christian","orcid":"0000-0003-3658-1065","id":"3A2F4DCE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"date_updated":"2023-08-07T13:49:33Z","date_created":"2021-02-26T16:30:39Z","year":"2021","acknowledgement":"This research was supported in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grant Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award) and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 754411.","publisher":"Association for Computing Machinery","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publication_status":"published","article_processing_charge":"No","has_accepted_license":"1","day":"01","scopus_import":"1","keyword":["hybrid automaton","membership","system identification"],"date_published":"2021-05-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ama":"Garcia Soto M, Henzinger TA, Schilling C.

We generalize the theory of runtime verification to monitors that attempt to estimate numerical values of quantitative trace properties (instead of attempting to conclude boolean values of trace specifications), such as maximal or average response time along a trace. Quantitative monitors are approximate: with every finite prefix, they can improve their estimate of the infinite trace's unknown property value. Consequently, quantitative monitors can be compared with regard to a precision-cost trade-off: better approximations of the property value require more monitor resources, such as states (in the case of finite-state monitors) or registers, and additional resources yield better approximations. We introduce a formal framework for quantitative and approximate monitoring, show how it conservatively generalizes the classical boolean setting for monitoring, and give several precision-cost trade-offs for monitors. For example, we prove that there are quantitative properties for which every additional register improves monitoring precision."}],"type":"conference"},{"file_date_updated":"2022-05-12T12:13:27Z","author":[{"first_name":"Tatjana","last_name":"Petrov","full_name":"Petrov, Tatjana"},{"full_name":"Igler, Claudia","last_name":"Igler","first_name":"Claudia","id":"46613666-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"id":"4C7638DA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Sezgin","first_name":"Ali","full_name":"Sezgin, Ali"},{"full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A","first_name":"Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-2985-7724"},{"full_name":"Guet, Calin C","id":"47F8433E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-6220-2052","first_name":"Calin C","last_name":"Guet"}],"date_created":"2021-07-11T22:01:18Z","date_updated":"2023-08-10T14:11:19Z","volume":893,"year":"2021","acknowledgement":"Tatjana Petrov’s research was supported in part by SNSF Advanced Postdoctoral Mobility Fellowship grant number P300P2 161067, the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts of the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, and the DFG Centre of Excellence 2117 ‘Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour’ (ID: 422037984).

The ensuing regulating function is often represented as a combinational logic circuit, where output (gene expression) is determined by current input values (promoter bound TFs) only. However, the simultaneous arrival of TFs is a strong assumption, since transcription and translation of genes introduce intrinsic time delays and there is no global synchronisation among the arrival times of different molecular species at their targets. We present an experimentally implementable genetic circuit with two inputs and one output, which in the presence of small delays in input arrival, exhibits qualitatively distinct population-level phenotypes, over timescales that are longer than typical cell doubling times. From a dynamical systems point of view, these phenotypes represent long-lived transients: although they converge to the same value eventually, they do so after a very long time span. The key feature of this toy model genetic circuit is that, despite having only two inputs and one output, it is regulated by twenty-three distinct DNA-TF configurations, two of which are more stable than others (DNA looped states), one promoting and another blocking the expression of the output gene. Small delays in input arrival time result in a majority of cells in the population quickly reaching the stable state associated with the first input, while exiting of this stable state occurs at a slow timescale. In order to mechanistically model the behaviour of this genetic circuit, we used a rule-based modelling language, and implemented a grid-search to find parameter combinations giving rise to long-lived transients. Our analysis shows that in the absence of feedback, there exist path-dependent gene regulatory mechanisms based on the long timescale of transients. The behaviour of this toy model circuit suggests that gene regulatory networks can exploit event timing to create phenotypes, and it opens the possibility that they could use event timing to memorise events, without regulatory feedback. The model reveals the importance of (i) mechanistically modelling the transitions between the different DNA-TF states, and (ii) employing transient analysis thereof."}],"type":"journal_article","file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":2566504,"creator":"dernst","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"2021_TheoreticalComputerScience_Petrov.pdf","checksum":"d3aef34cfb13e53bba4cf44d01680793","success":1,"date_updated":"2022-05-12T12:13:27Z","date_created":"2022-05-12T12:13:27Z","relation":"main_file","file_id":"11364"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","_id":"9647","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","status":"public","ddc":["004"],"title":"Long lived transients in gene regulation","intvolume":" 893","day":"04","article_processing_charge":"No","has_accepted_license":"1","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"2021-06-04T00:00:00Z","publication":"Theoretical Computer Science","citation":{"chicago":"Petrov, Tatjana, Claudia Igler, Ali Sezgin, Thomas A Henzinger, and Calin C Guet. “Long Lived Transients in Gene Regulation.” Theoretical Computer Science.

Such games are central in formal methods since they model the interaction between a non-terminating system and its environment. In bidding games the players bid for the right to move the token: in each round, the players simultaneously submit bids, and the higher bidder moves the token and pays the other player. Bidding games are known to have a clean and elegant mathematical structure that relies on the ability of the players to submit arbitrarily small bids. Many applications, however, require a fixed granularity for the bids, which can represent, for example, the monetary value expressed in cents. We study, for the first time, the combination of discrete-bidding and infinite-duration games. Our most important result proves that these games form a large determined subclass of concurrent games, where determinacy is the strong property that there always exists exactly one player who can guarantee winning the game. In particular, we show that, in contrast to non-discrete bidding games, the mechanism with which tied bids are resolved plays an important role in discrete-bidding games. We study several natural tie-breaking mechanisms and show that, while some do not admit determinacy, most natural mechanisms imply determinacy for every pair of initial budgets.","lang":"eng"}],"issue":"1","isi":1,"quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"_id":"264B3912-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"M02369","name":"Formal Methods meets Algorithmic Game Theory","call_identifier":"FWF"},{"grant_number":"S11402-N23","_id":"25F2ACDE-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering","call_identifier":"FWF"},{"grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FWF","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize"}],"tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"external_id":{"isi":["000658724600010"],"arxiv":["1905.03588"]},"oa":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.23638/LMCS-17(1:10)2021","month":"02","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1860-5974"]},"publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publisher":"International Federation for Computational Logic","year":"2021","acknowledgement":"This research was supported in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grants S11402-N23 (RiSE/SHiNE), Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award), and M 2369-N33 (Meitner fellowship).\r\n","date_created":"2022-01-25T16:32:13Z","date_updated":"2023-08-17T06:56:42Z","volume":17,"author":[{"first_name":"Milad","last_name":"Aghajohari","full_name":"Aghajohari, Milad"},{"full_name":"Avni, Guy","last_name":"Avni","first_name":"Guy","orcid":"0000-0001-5588-8287","id":"463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-2985-7724","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Henzinger","first_name":"Thomas A","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A"}],"file_date_updated":"2022-01-26T08:04:50Z"},{"date_published":"2021-01-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ama":"Lechner M, Hasani R, Grosu R, Rus D, Henzinger TA.

In this paper, we show theoretically and experimentally that neural controllers obtained via adversarial training are subjected to three types of defects, namely transient, systematic, and conditional errors. We first generalize adversarial training to a safety-domain optimization scheme allowing for more generic specifications. We then prove that such a learning process tends to cause certain error profiles. We support our theoretical results by a thorough experimental safety analysis in a robot-learning task.

Maintaining this accuracy in dynamic environments, where inputs frequently fall outside the fixed set of initially known classes, remains a challenge. The typical approach is to detect inputs from novel classes and retrain the classifier on an augmented dataset. However, not only the classifier but also the detection mechanism needs to adapt in order to distinguish between newly learned and yet unknown input classes. To address this challenge, we introduce an algorithmic framework for active monitoring of a neural network. A monitor wrapped in our framework operates in parallel with the neural network and interacts with a human user via a series of interpretable labeling queries for incremental adaptation. In addition, we propose an adaptive quantitative monitor to improve precision. An experimental evaluation on a diverse set of benchmarks with varying numbers of classes confirms the benefits of our active monitoring framework in dynamic scenarios.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"21st International Conference on Runtime Verification","citation":{"short":"A.

For example, the performance of a web server may be monitored based on the ratio of the total count of requests from the least and most active clients. Exact frequency monitoring, however, can be prohibitively expensive; in the above example it would require as many counters as there are clients. In this paper, we propose the efficient probabilistic monitoring of common frequency properties, including the mode (i.e., the most common event) and the median of an event sequence. We define a logic to express composite frequency properties as a combination of atomic frequency properties. Our main contribution is an algorithm that, under suitable probabilistic assumptions, can be used to monitor these important frequency properties with four counters, independent of the number of different events. Our algorithm samples longer and longer subwords of an infinite event sequence. We prove the almost-sure convergence of our algorithm by generalizing ergodic theory from increasing-length prefixes to increasing-length subwords of an infinite sequence. A similar algorithm could be used to learn a connected Markov chain of a given structure from observing its outputs, to arbitrary precision, for a given confidence.

A transition changes the current state to the next state, and every counter is either incremented, or decremented, or left unchanged. A state and value for each counter is a configuration; and a computation is an infinite sequence of configurations with transitions between successive configurations. A probabilistic VASS consists of a VASS along with a probability distribution over the transitions for each state. Qualitative properties such as state and configuration reachability have been widely studied for VASS. In this work we consider multi-dimensional long-run average objectives for VASS and probabilistic VASS. For a counter, the cost of a configuration is the value of the counter; and the long-run average value of a computation for the counter is the long-run average of the costs of the configurations in the computation. The multi-dimensional long-run average problem given a VASS and a threshold value for each counter, asks whether there is a computation such that for each counter the long-run average value for the counter does not exceed the respective threshold. For probabilistic VASS, instead of the existence of a computation, we consider whether the expected long-run average value for each counter does not exceed the respective threshold. Our main results are as follows: we show that the multi-dimensional long-run average problem (a) is NP-complete for integer-valued VASS; (b) is undecidable for natural-valued VASS (i.e., nonnegative counters); and (c) can be solved in polynomial time for probabilistic integer-valued VASS, and probabilistic natural-valued VASS when all computations are non-terminating."}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LIPIcs"],"date_published":"2020-08-06T00:00:00Z","citation":{"mla":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu, et al. “Multi-Dimensional Long-Run Average Problems for Vector Addition Systems with States.” 31st International Conference on Concurrency Theory, vol. 171, 23, Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik, 2020, doi:10.4230/LIPIcs.CONCUR.2020.23.","short":"K.

In bidding games, both players have budgets, and in each turn, we hold an \"auction\" (bidding) to determine which player moves the token. In this survey, we consider several bidding mechanisms and study their effect on the properties of the game. Specifically, bidding games, and in particular bidding games of infinite duration, have an intriguing equivalence with random-turn games in which in each turn, the player who moves is chosen randomly. We show how minor changes in the bidding mechanism lead to unexpected differences in the equivalence with random-turn games."}],"alternative_title":["LIPIcs"],"type":"conference","file":[{"creator":"dernst","file_size":868510,"content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"2020_LIPIcsCONCUR_Avni.pdf","access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2020-10-05T14:13:19Z","date_created":"2020-10-05T14:13:19Z","success":1,"checksum":"8f33b098e73724e0ac817f764d8e1a2d","file_id":"8611","relation":"main_file"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","ddc":["000"],"title":"A survey of bidding games on graphs","status":"public","intvolume":" 171","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"8599","month":"08","publication_identifier":{"issn":["18688969"],"isbn":["9783959771603"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"conference":{"name":"CONCUR: Conference on Concurrency Theory","end_date":"2020-09-04","start_date":"2020-09-01","location":"Virtual"},"doi":"10.4230/LIPIcs.CONCUR.2020.2","quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"call_identifier":"FWF","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"}],"tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0)","short":"CC BY (3.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"oa":1,"file_date_updated":"2020-10-05T14:13:19Z","article_number":"2","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:20:13Z","date_created":"2020-10-04T22:01:36Z","volume":171,"author":[{"full_name":"Avni, Guy","first_name":"Guy","last_name":"Avni","id":"463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-5588-8287"},{"full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A","orcid":"0000-0002-2985-7724","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Henzinger","first_name":"Thomas A"}],"publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publisher":"Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik","year":"2020","acknowledgement":"We would like to thank all our collaborators Milad Aghajohari, Ventsislav Chonev, Rasmus Ibsen-Jensen, Ismäel Jecker, Petr Novotný, Josef Tkadlec, and Ðorđe Žikelić; we hope the collaboration was as fun and meaningful for you as it was for us."},{"file_date_updated":"2021-02-09T09:39:02Z","author":[{"last_name":"Alamdari","first_name":"Par Alizadeh","full_name":"Alamdari, Par Alizadeh"},{"full_name":"Avni, Guy","orcid":"0000-0001-5588-8287","id":"463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Avni","first_name":"Guy"},{"id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-2985-7724","first_name":"Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A"},{"id":"CBA4D1A8-0FE8-11E9-BDE6-07BFE5697425","first_name":"Anna","last_name":"Lukina","full_name":"Lukina, Anna"}],"date_created":"2021-01-24T23:01:10Z","date_updated":"2021-02-09T09:39:59Z","year":"2020","acknowledgement":"This research was supported in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grant Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award).","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publisher":"TU Wien Academic Press","month":"09","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9783854480426"],"eissn":["2708-7824"]},"conference":{"name":" FMCAD: Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design","end_date":"2020-09-24","location":"Online Conference","start_date":"2020-09-21"},"doi":"10.34727/2020/isbn.978-3-85448-042-6_21","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa":1,"tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"Z211","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","call_identifier":"FWF"}],"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Machine learning and formal methods have complimentary benefits and drawbacks. In this work, we address the controller-design problem with a combination of techniques from both fields.

Instead of reasoning formally about the output of deep RL, which we call the wizard, we extract from it a decision-tree based model, which we refer to as the magic book. Using the extracted model as an intermediary, we are able to handle problems that are infeasible for either deep RL or formal methods by themselves. First, we suggest, for the first time, a synthesis procedure that is based on a magic book. We synthesize a stand-alone correct-by-design controller that enjoys the favorable performance of RL. Second, we incorporate a magic book in a bounded model checking (BMC) procedure. BMC allows us to find numerous traces of the plant under the control of the wizard, which a user can use to increase the trustworthiness of the wizard and direct further training."}],"type":"conference","oa_version":"Published Version","file":[{"file_id":"9109","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2021-02-09T09:39:02Z","date_updated":"2021-02-09T09:39:02Z","success":1,"checksum":"d616d549a0ade78606b16f8a9540820f","file_name":"2020_FMCAD_Alamdari.pdf","access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","file_size":990999,"content_type":"application/pdf"}],"_id":"9040","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","ddc":["000"],"title":"Formal methods with a touch of magic","day":"21","has_accepted_license":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"2020-09-21T00:00:00Z","publication":"Proceedings of the 20th Conference on Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design","citation":{"ama":"Alamdari PA, Avni G, Henzinger TA, Lukina A.

Our work examines this question, identifies issues with existing approaches, and proposes a method called WoodFisher to compute a faithful and efficient estimate of the inverse Hessian. Our main application is to neural network compression, where we build on the classic Optimal Brain Damage/Surgeon framework. We demonstrate that WoodFisher significantly outperforms popular state-of-the-art methods for oneshot pruning. Further, even when iterative, gradual pruning is allowed, our method results in a gain in test accuracy over the state-of-the-art approaches, for standard image classification datasets such as ImageNet ILSVRC. We examine how our method can be extended to take into account first-order information, as well as\r\nillustrate its ability to automatically set layer-wise pruning thresholds and perform compression in the limited-data regime.

LRT-NG significantly advances the state-of-the-art Langrangian Reachability and its associated tool LRT. From a theoretical perspective, LRT-NG is superior to LRT in three ways. First, it uses for the first time an analytically computed metric for the propagated ball which is proven to minimize the ball’s volume. We emphasize that the metric computation is the centerpiece of all bloating-based techniques. Secondly, it computes the next reachset as the intersection of two balls: one based on the Cartesian metric and the other on the new metric. While the two metrics were previously considered opposing approaches, their joint use considerably tightens the reachtubes. Thirdly, it avoids the \"wrapping effect\" associated with the validated integration of the center of the reachset, by optimally absorbing the interval approximation in the radius of the next ball. From a tool-development perspective, LRT-NG is superior to LRT in two ways. First, it is a standalone tool that no longer relies on CAPD. This required the implementation of the Lohner method and a Runge-Kutta time-propagation method. Secondly, it has an improved interface, allowing the input model and initial conditions to be provided as external input files. Our experiments on a comprehensive set of benchmarks, including two Neural ODEs, demonstrates LRT-NG’s superior performance compared to LRT, CAPD, and Flow*.","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"9103","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","title":"Lagrangian reachtubes: The next generation","status":"public","intvolume":" 2020","oa_version":"Preprint"},{"file_date_updated":"2022-01-26T07:35:17Z","date_created":"2022-01-25T15:50:00Z","date_updated":"2023-04-03T07:33:40Z","author":[{"full_name":"Lechner, Mathias","id":"3DC22916-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Mathias","last_name":"Lechner"}],"publisher":"ICLR","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publication_status":"published","year":"2020","acknowledgement":"This research was supported in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grant Z211-N23\r\n(Wittgenstein Award).\r\n","month":"03","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"conference":{"name":"ICLR: International Conference on Learning Representations","start_date":"2020-04-26","location":"Virtual ; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia","end_date":"2020-05-01"},"project":[{"grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","call_identifier":"FWF"}],"quality_controlled":"1","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (3.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png"},"oa":1,"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://openreview.net/forum?id=Bke61krFvS","open_access":"1"}],"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"The family of feedback alignment (FA) algorithms aims to provide a more biologically motivated alternative to backpropagation (BP), by substituting the computations that are unrealistic to be implemented in physical brains.

Here we introduce the first feedback alignment algorithm with provable learning guarantees. In contrast to existing work, we do not require any assumption about the size or depth of the network except that it has a single output neuron, i.e., such as for binary classification tasks.

However, like their real-numbered counterpart, quantized networks are not immune to malicious misclassification caused by adversarial attacks. We investigate how quantization affects a network’s robustness to adversarial attacks, which is a formal verification question. We show that neither robustness nor non-robustness are monotonic with changing the number of bits for the representation and, also, neither are preserved by quantization from a real-numbered network. For this reason, we introduce a verification method for quantized neural networks which, using SMT solving over bit-vectors, accounts for their exact, bit-precise semantics. We built a tool and analyzed the effect of quantization on a classifier for the MNIST dataset. We demonstrate that, compared to our method, existing methods for the analysis of real-numbered networks often derive false conclusions about their quantizations, both when determining robustness and when detecting attacks, and that existing methods for quantized networks often miss attacks. Furthermore, we applied our method beyond robustness, showing how the number of bits in quantization enlarges the gender bias of a predictor for students’ grades.","lang":"eng"}],"alternative_title":["LNCS"],"type":"conference","oa_version":"Published Version","file":[{"file_id":"7893","relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:48:03Z","date_created":"2020-05-26T12:48:15Z","checksum":"f19905a42891fe5ce93d69143fa3f6fb","file_name":"2020_TACAS_Giacobbe.pdf","access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","file_size":2744030,"content_type":"application/pdf"}],"title":"How many bits does it take to quantize your neural network?","status":"public","ddc":["000"],"intvolume":" 12079","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"7808","day":"17","article_processing_charge":"No","has_accepted_license":"1","scopus_import":1,"date_published":"2020-04-17T00:00:00Z","page":"79-97","publication":"International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems","citation":{"short":"M.

The cost of using a resource depends on the load on it. In the traditional setting, the players make their choices concurrently and in one-shot. That is, a strategy for a player is a subset of the resources. We introduce and study dynamic resource allocation games. In this setting, the game proceeds in phases. In each phase each player chooses one resource. A scheduler dictates the order in which the players proceed in a phase, possibly scheduling several players to proceed concurrently. The game ends when each player has collected a set of resources that fulfills his objective. The cost for each player then depends on this set as well as on the load on the resources in it – we consider both congestion and cost-sharing games. We argue that the dynamic setting is the suitable setting for many applications in practice. We study the stability of dynamic resource allocation games, where the appropriate notion of stability is that of subgame perfect equilibrium, study the inefficiency incurred due to selfish behavior, and also study problems that are particular to the dynamic setting, like constraints on the order in which resources can be chosen or the problem of finding a scheduler that achieves stability.","lang":"eng"}],"article_type":"original","page":"42-55","publication":"Theoretical Computer Science","citation":{"ista":"Avni G, Henzinger TA, Kupferman O. 2020.

Despite numerous efforts of the research community, novelty detection remains one of the significant limitations of neural networks. The ability to identify previously unseen inputs as novel is crucial for our understanding of the decisions made by neural networks. At runtime, inputs not falling into any of the categories learned during training cannot be classified correctly by the neural network. Existing approaches treat the neural network as a black box and try to detect novel inputs based on the confidence of the output predictions. However, neural networks are not trained to reduce their confidence for novel inputs, which limits the effectiveness of these approaches. We propose a framework to monitor a neural network by observing the hidden layers. We employ a common abstraction from program analysis - boxes - to identify novel behaviors in the monitored layers, i.e., inputs that cause behaviors outside the box. For each neuron, the boxes range over the values seen in training. The framework is efficient and flexible to achieve a desired trade-off between raising false warnings and detecting novel inputs. We illustrate the performance and the robustness to variability in the unknown classes on popular image-classification benchmarks.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications"],"date_published":"2020-02-24T00:00:00Z","citation":{"chicago":"Henzinger, Thomas A, Anna Lukina, and Christian Schilling. “Outside the Box: Abstraction-Based Monitoring of Neural Networks.” In 24th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 325:2433–40.

In this paper, we address this issue by proposing and formalizing an SMT theory of fixed-point arithmetic. We present an intuitive yet comprehensive syntax of the fixed-point theory, and provide formal semantics for it based on rational arithmetic. We also describe two decision procedures for this theory: one based on the theory of bit-vectors and the other on the theory of reals. We implement the two decision procedures, and evaluate our implementations using existing mature SMT solvers on a benchmark suite we created. Finally, we perform a case study of using the theory we propose to verify properties of quantized neural networks.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"date_published":"2020-06-24T00:00:00Z","publication":"Automated Reasoning","citation":{"ama":"Baranowski M, He S, Lechner M, Nguyen TS, Rakamarić Z.

Here, we combine brain-inspired neural computation principles and scalable deep learning architectures to design compact neural controllers for task-specific compartments of a full-stack autonomous vehicle control system. We discover that a single algorithm with 19 control neurons, connecting 32 encapsulated input features to outputs by 253 synapses, learns to map high-dimensional inputs into steering commands. This system shows superior generalizability, interpretability and robustness compared with orders-of-magnitude larger black-box learning systems. The obtained neural agents enable high-fidelity autonomy for task-specific parts of a complex autonomous system.","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"8679","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","title":"Neural circuit policies enabling auditable autonomy","status":"public","intvolume":" 2","oa_version":"None"},{"file_date_updated":"2020-11-06T10:58:49Z","author":[{"id":"3DC22916-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Mathias","last_name":"Lechner","full_name":"Lechner, Mathias"},{"full_name":"Hasani, Ramin","last_name":"Hasani","first_name":"Ramin"},{"last_name":"Rus","first_name":"Daniela","full_name":"Rus, Daniela"},{"last_name":"Grosu","first_name":"Radu","full_name":"Grosu, Radu"}],"date_updated":"2023-08-22T10:40:15Z","date_created":"2020-10-25T23:01:19Z","acknowledgement":"M.L. is supported in parts by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grant Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award).

The rise of Deep Learning has enabled end-to-end solutions to be learned entirely from data, requiring minimal knowledge about the application area. We design a learning scheme to train end-to-end linear dynamical systems (LDS)s by gradient descent in imitation learning robotic domains. We introduce a new regularization loss component together with a learning algorithm that improves the stability of the learned autonomous system, by forcing the eigenvalues of the internal state updates of an LDS to be negative reals. We evaluate our approach on a series of real-life and simulated robotic experiments, in comparison to linear and nonlinear Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architectures. Our results show that our stabilizing method significantly improves test performance of LDS, enabling such linear models to match the performance of contemporary nonlinear RNN architectures.

The game proceeds as follows. We place a token on some vertex in the graph and assign budgets to the two players. Each turn, each player submits a sealed legal bid (non-negative and below their remaining budget), which is deducted from their budget and the highest bidder moves the token onto an adjacent vertex. The game ends once a sink is reached, and Player 1 pays Player 2 the outcome that is associated with the sink. The players attempt to maximize their expected outcome. Our games model settings where effort (of no inherent value) needs to be invested in an ongoing and stateful manner. On the negative side, we show that even in simple games on DAGs, optimal strategies may require a distribution over bids with infinite support. A central quantity in bidding games is the ratio of the players budgets. On the positive side, we show a simple FPTAS for DAGs, that, for each budget ratio, outputs an approximation for the optimal strategy for that ratio. We also implement it, show that it performs well, and suggests interesting properties of these games. Then, given an outcome c, we show an algorithm for finding the necessary and sufficient initial ratio for guaranteeing outcome c with probability 1 and a strategy ensuring such. Finally, while the general case has not previously been studied, solving the specific game in which Player 1 wins iff he wins the first two auctions, has been long stated as an open question, which we solve.","lang":"eng"}],"issue":"02","type":"journal_article"},{"month":"10","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0302-9743"],"isbn":["9783030605070","9783030605087"],"eissn":["1611-3349"]},"oa":1,"external_id":{"isi":["000728160600001"]},"quality_controlled":"1","isi":1,"project":[{"call_identifier":"FWF","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"}],"conference":{"end_date":"2020-10-09","start_date":"2020-10-06","location":"Los Angeles, CA, United States","name":"RV: Runtime Verification"},"doi":"10.1007/978-3-030-60508-7_1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2020-10-15T14:28:06Z","year":"2020","acknowledgement":"This research was supported in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grant Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award).","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publisher":"Springer Nature","author":[{"id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-2985-7724","first_name":"Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A"},{"full_name":"Sarac, Naci E","first_name":"Naci E","last_name":"Sarac","id":"8C6B42F8-C8E6-11E9-A03A-F2DCE5697425"}],"date_updated":"2023-09-05T15:08:26Z","date_created":"2020-10-07T15:05:37Z","volume":12399,"scopus_import":"1","day":"02","has_accepted_license":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","publication":"Runtime Verification","citation":{"ama":"Henzinger TA, Sarac NE.

Devising inductive invariants for such programs requires understanding and stating complex relationships between an unbounded number of computation tasks in arbitrarily long executions. In this paper, we introduce inductive sequentialization, a new proof rule that sidesteps this complexity via a sequential reduction, a sequential program that captures every behavior of the original program up to reordering of coarse-grained commutative actions. A sequential reduction of a concurrent program is easy to reason about since it corresponds to a simple execution of the program in an idealized synchronous environment, where processes act in a fixed order and at the same speed. We have implemented and integrated our proof rule in the CIVL verifier, allowing us to provably derive fine-grained implementations of asynchronous programs. We have successfully applied our proof rule to a diverse set of message-passing protocols, including leader election protocols, two-phase commit, and Paxos.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","_id":"8012","status":"public","title":"Inductive sequentialization of asynchronous programs","oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","day":"01","citation":{"chicago":"Kragl, Bernhard, Constantin Enea, Thomas A Henzinger, Suha Orhun Mutluergil, and Shaz Qadeer. “Inductive Sequentialization of Asynchronous Programs.” In Proceedings of the 41st ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation, 227–42.

This is due to the sheer number of possible interleavings of a concurrent program, all of which have to be tracked and accounted for in a formal proof. Inventing an inductive invariant that captures all interleavings of a low-level implementation is theoretically possible, but practically intractable. We develop a refinement-based verification framework that provides mechanisms to simplify proof construction by decomposing the verification task into smaller subtasks.\r\n\r\nIn a first line of work, we present a foundation for refinement reasoning over structured concurrent programs. We introduce layered concurrent programs as a compact notation to represent multi-layer refinement proofs. A layered concurrent program specifies a sequence of connected concurrent programs, from most concrete to most abstract, such that common parts of different programs are written exactly once. Each program in this sequence is expressed as structured concurrent program, i.e., a program over (potentially recursive) procedures, imperative control flow, gated atomic actions, structured parallelism, and asynchronous concurrency. This is in contrast to existing refinement-based verifiers, which represent concurrent systems as flat transition relations. We present a powerful refinement proof rule that decomposes refinement checking over structured programs into modular verification conditions. Refinement checking is supported by a new form of modular, parameterized invariants, called yield invariants, and a linear permission system to enhance local reasoning.\r\n\r\nIn a second line of work, we present two new reduction-based program transformations that target asynchronous programs. These transformations reduce the number of interleavings that need to be considered, thus reducing the complexity of invariants. Synchronization simplifies the verification of asynchronous programs by introducing the fiction, for proof purposes, that asynchronous operations complete synchronously. Synchronization summarizes an asynchronous computation as immediate atomic effect. Inductive sequentialization establishes sequential reductions that captures every behavior of the original program up to reordering of coarse-grained commutative actions. A sequential reduction of a concurrent program is easy to reason about since it corresponds to a simple execution of the program in an idealized synchronous environment, where processes act in a fixed order and at the same speed.\r\n\r\nOur approach is implemented the CIVL verifier, which has been successfully used for the verification of several complex concurrent programs. In our methodology, the overall correctness of a program is established piecemeal by focusing on the invariant required for each refinement step separately. While the programmer does the creative work of specifying the chain of programs and the inductive invariant justifying each link in the chain, the tool automatically constructs the verification conditions underlying each refinement step.","lang":"eng"}],"alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"type":"dissertation","date_published":"2020-09-03T00:00:00Z","page":"120","citation":{"ama":"Kragl B.

Hence, we propose a hybridization method that provides a state-dependent error which converges to zero as the state tends to the equilibrium point. The crux of our hybridization computation is an elegant recursive algorithm that uses partial derivatives of a given function to obtain upper and lower bound matrices for the over-approximating linear inclusion. We illustrate our method on some examples to demonstrate the application of the theory for stability analysis. In particular, our method is able to establish stability of a nonlinear system which does not admit a polynomial Lyapunov function.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","oa_version":"Submitted Version","file":[{"file_size":1125794,"content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"mgarcias","file_name":"main.pdf","access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2021-02-26T16:38:14Z","date_created":"2021-02-26T16:38:14Z","checksum":"8f97f229316c3b3a6f0cf99297aa0941","relation":"main_file","file_id":"9203"}],"user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"9202","title":"Hybridization for stability verification of nonlinear switched systems","ddc":["000"],"status":"public"},{"title":"Abstraction based verification of stability of polyhedral switched systems","ddc":["000"],"status":"public","intvolume":" 36","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","_id":"7426","oa_version":"Submitted Version","file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":818774,"creator":"dernst","file_name":"2020_NAHS_GarciaSoto.pdf","access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2022-05-16T22:30:04Z","date_created":"2020-10-21T13:16:45Z","checksum":"560abfddb53f9fe921b6744f59f2cfaa","relation":"main_file","embargo":"2022-05-15","file_id":"8688"}],"type":"journal_article","abstract":[{"text":"This paper presents a novel abstraction technique for analyzing Lyapunov and asymptotic stability of polyhedral switched systems. A polyhedral switched system is a hybrid system in which the continuous dynamics is specified by polyhedral differential inclusions, the invariants and guards are specified by polyhedral sets and the switching between the modes do not involve reset of variables. A finite state weighted graph abstracting the polyhedral switched system is constructed from a finite partition of the state–space, such that the satisfaction of certain graph conditions, such as the absence of cycles with product of weights on the edges greater than (or equal) to 1, implies the stability of the system. However, the graph is in general conservative and hence, the violation of the graph conditions does not imply instability. If the analysis fails to establish stability due to the conservativeness in the approximation, a counterexample (cycle with product of edge weights greater than or equal to 1) indicating a potential reason for the failure is returned. Further, a more precise approximation of the switched system can be constructed by considering a finer partition of the state–space in the construction of the finite weighted graph. We present experimental results on analyzing stability of switched systems using the above method.","lang":"eng"}],"issue":"5","article_type":"original","publication":"Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems","citation":{"chicago":"Garcia Soto, Miriam, and Pavithra Prabhakar. “Abstraction Based Verification of Stability of Polyhedral Switched Systems.” Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems.

Bidding games are deterministic games. They have an intriguing connection with a fragment of stochastic games called \r\n randomturn games. We study, for the first time, a combination of bidding games with probabilistic behavior; namely, we study bidding games that are played on Markov decision processes, where the players bid for the right to choose the next action, which determines the probability distribution according to which the next vertex is chosen. We study parity and meanpayoff bidding games on MDPs and extend results from the deterministic bidding setting to the probabilistic one.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"file":[{"date_created":"2019-08-19T07:56:40Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:41Z","checksum":"45ebbc709af2b247d28c7c293c01504b","relation":"main_file","file_id":"6823","file_size":436635,"content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"gavni","file_name":"prob.pdf","access_level":"open_access"}],"oa_version":"Submitted Version","_id":"6822","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","title":"Bidding games on Markov decision processes","ddc":["000"],"status":"public","intvolume":" 11674","day":"06","has_accepted_license":"1","scopus_import":1,"date_published":"2019-09-06T00:00:00Z","publication":" Proceedings of the 13th International Conference of Reachability Problems","citation":{"apa":"Avni, G., Henzinger, T.

This property enables neurons to express liquid time-constants dynamics and therefore allows the network to originate complex behaviors with a small number of neurons. We identify neuron-pair communication motifs as design operators and use them to configure compact neuronal network structures to govern sequential robotic tasks. The networks are systematically designed to map the environmental observations to motor actions, by their hierarchical topology from sensory neurons, through recurrently-wired interneurons, to motor neurons. The networks are then parametrized in a supervised-learning scheme by a search-based algorithm. We demonstrate that obtained networks realize interpretable dynamics.

Such games are central in formal methods since they model the interaction between a non-terminating system and its environment. In bidding games the players bid for the right to move the token: in each round, the players simultaneously submit bids, and the higher bidder moves the token and pays the other player. Bidding games are known to have a clean and elegant mathematical structure that relies on the ability of the players to submit arbitrarily small bids. Many applications, however, require a fixed granularity for the bids, which can represent, for example, the monetary value expressed in cents. We study, for the first time, the combination of discrete-bidding and infinite-duration games. Our most important result proves that these games form a large determined subclass of concurrent games, where determinacy is the strong property that there always exists exactly one player who can guarantee winning the game. In particular, we show that, in contrast to non-discrete bidding games, the mechanism with which tied bids are resolved plays an important role in discrete-bidding games. We study several natural tie-breaking mechanisms and show that, while some do not admit determinacy, most natural mechanisms imply determinacy for every pair of initial budgets.

A configuration is a state and a value for each counter; a transition changes the state and each counter is incremented, decremented, or left unchanged. While qualitative properties such as state and configuration reachability have been studied for VASS, we consider the long-run average cost of infinite computations of VASS. The cost of a configuration is for each state, a linear combination of the counter values. In the special case of uniform cost functions, the linear combination is the same for all states. The (regular) long-run emptiness problem is, given a VASS, a cost function, and a threshold value, if there is a (lasso-shaped) computation such that the long-run average value of the cost function does not exceed the threshold. For uniform cost functions, we show that the regular long-run emptiness problem is (a) decidable in polynomial time for integer-valued VASS, and (b) decidable but nonelementarily hard for natural-valued VASS (i.e., nonnegative counters). For general cost functions, we show that the problem is (c) NP-complete for integer-valued VASS, and (d) undecidable for natural-valued VASS. Our most interesting result is for (c) integer-valued VASS with general cost functions, where we establish a connection between the regular long-run emptiness problem and quadratic Diophantine inequalities. The general (nonregular) long-run emptiness problem is equally hard as the regular problem in all cases except (c), where it remains open.

We propose a systematic pipeline for interpreting individual hidden state dynamics within the network using response characterization methods. The ranked contribution of individual cells to the network's output is computed by analyzing a set of interpretable metrics of their decoupled step and sinusoidal responses. As a result, our method is able to uniquely identify neurons with insightful dynamics, quantify relationships between dynamical properties and test accuracy through ablation analysis, and interpret the impact of network capacity on a network's dynamical distribution. Finally, we demonstrate the generalizability and scalability of our method by evaluating a series of different benchmark sequential datasets."}],"article_number":"8851954","type":"conference","author":[{"full_name":"Hasani, Ramin","first_name":"Ramin","last_name":"Hasani"},{"full_name":"Amini, Alexander","first_name":"Alexander","last_name":"Amini"},{"full_name":"Lechner, Mathias","id":"3DC22916-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Mathias","last_name":"Lechner"},{"full_name":"Naser, Felix","last_name":"Naser","first_name":"Felix"},{"first_name":"Radu","last_name":"Grosu","full_name":"Grosu, Radu"},{"full_name":"Rus, Daniela","last_name":"Rus","first_name":"Daniela"}],"date_created":"2019-11-04T15:59:58Z","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:11:19Z","oa_version":"Preprint","year":"2019","_id":"6985","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","title":"Response characterization for auditing cell dynamics in long short-term memory networks","publication_status":"published","publisher":"IEEE","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"day":"30","month":"09","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9781728119854"]},"scopus_import":1,"conference":{"end_date":"2019-07-19","location":"Budapest, Hungary","start_date":"2019-07-14","name":"IJCNN: International Joint Conference on Neural Networks"},"doi":"10.1109/ijcnn.2019.8851954","date_published":"2019-09-30T00:00:00Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks","external_id":{"arxiv":["1809.03864"]},"oa":1,"citation":{"ieee":"R.

We study bidding games in which the players bid for the right to move the token. Several bidding rules were studied previously. In Richman bidding, in each round, the players simultaneously submit bids, and the higher bidder moves the token and pays the other player. Poorman bidding is similar except that the winner of the bidding pays the \"bank\" rather than the other player. Taxman bidding spans the spectrum between Richman and poorman bidding. They are parameterized by a constant tau in [0,1]: portion tau of the winning bid is paid to the other player, and portion 1-tau to the bank. While finite-duration (reachability) taxman games have been studied before, we present, for the first time, results on infinite-duration taxman games. It was previously shown that both Richman and poorman infinite-duration games with qualitative objectives reduce to reachability games, and we show a similar result here. Our most interesting results concern quantitative taxman games, namely mean-payoff games, where poorman and Richman bidding differ significantly. A central quantity in these games is the ratio between the two players' initial budgets. While in poorman mean-payoff games, the optimal payoff of a player depends on the initial ratio, in Richman bidding, the payoff depends only on the structure of the game. In both games the optimal payoffs can be found using (different) probabilistic connections with random-turn games in which in each turn, instead of bidding, a coin is tossed to determine which player moves. While the value with Richman bidding equals the value of a random-turn game with an un-biased coin, with poorman bidding, the bias in the coin is the initial ratio of the budgets. We give a complete classification of mean-payoff taxman games that is based on a probabilistic connection: the value of a taxman bidding game with parameter tau and initial ratio r, equals the value of a random-turn game that uses a coin with bias F(tau, r) = (r+tau * (1-r))/(1+tau). Thus, we show that Richman bidding is the exception; namely, for every tau <1, the value of the game depends on the initial ratio. Our proof technique simplifies and unifies the previous proof techniques for both Richman and poorman bidding.

However, developers still spend a significant amount of time on debugging. This involves processing long error traces in an effort to localize a bug to a relatively small part of the program and to identify its cause. In this paper, we present a technique for automated fault localization that, given a program and an error trace, efficiently narrows down the cause of the error to a few statements. These statements are then ranked in terms of their suspiciousness. Our technique relies only on the semantics of the given program and does not require any test cases or user guidance. In experiments on a set of C benchmarks, we show that our technique is effective in quickly isolating the cause of error while out-performing other state-of-the-art fault-localization techniques.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"]},{"date_published":"2019-04-16T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ieee":"S.

The library offers both concrete and lazy set representations, where the latter stands for the ability to delay set computations until they are needed. The choice of the programming language Julia and the accompanying documentation of our toolbox allow researchers to easily translate set-based algorithms from mathematics to software in a platform-independent way, while achieving runtime performance that is comparable to statically compiled languages. Combining lazy operations in high dimensions and explicit computations in low dimensions, JuliaReach can be applied to solve complex, large-scale problems."}],"type":"conference","doi":"10.1145/3302504.3311804","conference":{"end_date":"2019-04-18","location":"Montreal, QC, Canada","start_date":"2019-04-16","name":"HSCC: Hybrid Systems Computation and Control"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"isi":["000516713900005"],"arxiv":["1901.10736"]},"oa":1,"project":[{"name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","call_identifier":"FWF","grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"grant_number":"S 11407_N23","_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering","call_identifier":"FWF"},{"_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"754411","name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"isi":1,"quality_controlled":"1","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9781450362825"]},"month":"04","author":[{"full_name":"Bogomolov, Sergiy","first_name":"Sergiy","last_name":"Bogomolov","id":"369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-0686-0365"},{"full_name":"Forets, Marcelo","last_name":"Forets","first_name":"Marcelo"},{"full_name":"Frehse, Goran","last_name":"Frehse","first_name":"Goran"},{"last_name":"Potomkin","first_name":"Kostiantyn","full_name":"Potomkin, Kostiantyn"},{"full_name":"Schilling, Christian","id":"3A2F4DCE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0003-3658-1065","first_name":"Christian","last_name":"Schilling"}],"volume":22,"date_updated":"2023-08-24T14:47:21Z","date_created":"2019-02-18T14:43:28Z","year":"2019","publisher":"ACM","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publication_status":"published","ec_funded":1,"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:17Z"},{"type":"conference","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Safety and security are major concerns in the development of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).

Wethen define new measures of input vacuity and output robustnessthat better reflect the nature of the system and the specification in-tent. The resulting framework, which we call interface-aware signaltemporal logic (IA-STL), aids verification and validation activities.We demonstrate the benefits of IA-STL on several CPS analysisactivities: (1) robustness-driven sensitivity analysis, (2) falsificationand (3) fault localization. We describe an implementation of our en-hancement to STL and associated notions of robustness and vacuityin a prototype extension of Breach, a MATLAB®/Simulink®toolboxfor CPS verification and validation.

At each time point,it reads the plant’s state and issues commands with the goal that the plant oper-ates optimally. Constructing optimal controllers is a fundamental and challengingproblem. Machine learning techniques have recently been successfully applied totrain controllers, yet they have limitations. Learned controllers are monolithic andhard to reason about. In particular, it is difficult to add features without retraining,to guarantee any level of performance, and to achieve acceptable performancewhen encountering untrained scenarios. These limitations can be addressed bydeploying quantitative run-timeshieldsthat serve as a proxy for the controller.At each time point, the shield reads the command issued by the controller andmay choose to alter it before passing it on to the plant. We show how optimalshields that interfere as little as possible while guaranteeing a desired level ofcontroller performance, can be generated systematically and automatically usingreactive synthesis. First, we abstract the plant by building a stochastic model.Second, we consider the learned controller to be a black box. Third, we mea-surecontroller performanceandshield interferenceby two quantitative run-timemeasures that are formally defined using weighted automata. Then, the problemof constructing a shield that guarantees maximal performance with minimal inter-ference is the problem of finding an optimal strategy in a stochastic2-player game“controller versus shield” played on the abstract state space of the plant with aquantitative objective obtained from combining the performance and interferencemeasures. We illustrate the effectiveness of our approach by automatically con-structing lightweight shields for learned traffic-light controllers in various roadnetworks. The shields we generate avoid liveness bugs, improve controller per-formance in untrained and changing traffic situations, and add features to learnedcontrollers, such as giving priority to emergency vehicles."}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"oa_version":"Published Version","file":[{"checksum":"c231579f2485c6fd4df17c9443a4d80b","date_created":"2019-08-14T09:35:24Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:31Z","relation":"main_file","file_id":"6816","file_size":659766,"content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"dernst","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"2019_CAV_Avni.pdf"}],"user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","_id":"6462","title":"Run-time optimization for learned controllers through quantitative games","ddc":["000"],"status":"public","intvolume":" 11561","month":"07","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0302-9743"],"isbn":["9783030255398"]},"conference":{"end_date":"2019-07-18","location":"New York, NY, United States","start_date":"2019-07-13","name":"CAV: Computer Aided Verification"},"doi":"10.1007/978-3-030-25540-4_36","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"oa":1,"external_id":{"isi":["000491468000036"]},"isi":1,"quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"grant_number":"M02369","_id":"264B3912-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Formal Methods meets Algorithmic Game Theory","call_identifier":"FWF"},{"grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FWF","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize"},{"grant_number":"S 11407_N23","_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FWF","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering"}],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:31Z","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0001-5588-8287","id":"463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Avni","first_name":"Guy","full_name":"Avni, Guy"},{"last_name":"Bloem","first_name":"Roderick","full_name":"Bloem, Roderick"},{"full_name":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu","first_name":"Krishnendu","last_name":"Chatterjee","id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X"},{"orcid":"0000−0002−2985−7724","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Henzinger","first_name":"Thomas A","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A"},{"first_name":"Bettina","last_name":"Konighofer","full_name":"Konighofer, Bettina"},{"full_name":"Pranger, Stefan","last_name":"Pranger","first_name":"Stefan"}],"date_updated":"2023-08-25T10:33:27Z","date_created":"2019-05-16T11:22:30Z","volume":11561,"year":"2019","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"},{"_id":"KrCh"}],"publisher":"Springer"},{"keyword":["Synthesis","Linear hybrid automaton","Membership"],"scopus_import":"1","has_accepted_license":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","day":"12","page":"297-314","citation":{"ama":"Garcia Soto M, Henzinger TA, Schilling C, Zeleznik L.

Unlike previous approaches, our algorithms work without a template and generate an automaton with nondeterministic guards and invariants, and with an arbitrary number and topology of modes. They thus construct a succinct model from the data and provide formal guarantees. In particular, (1) the generated automaton can reproduce the data up to a specified tolerance and (2) the automaton is tight, given the first guarantee. Our first approach encodes the synthesis problem as a logical formula in the theory of linear arithmetic, which can then be solved by an SMT solver. This approach minimizes the number of modes in the resulting model but is only feasible for limited data sets. To address scalability, we propose a second approach that does not enforce to find a minimal model. The algorithm constructs an initial automaton and then iteratively extends the automaton based on processing new data. Therefore the algorithm is well-suited for online and synthesis-in-the-loop applications. The core of the algorithm is a membership query that checks whether, within the specified tolerance, a given data set can result from the execution of a given automaton. We solve this membership problem for linear hybrid automata by repeated reachability computations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm on synthetic data sets and on cardiac-cell measurements.","lang":"eng"}],"intvolume":" 11561","ddc":["000"],"title":"Membership-based synthesis of linear hybrid automata","status":"public","_id":"6493","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","oa_version":"Published Version","file":[{"file_size":674795,"content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"dernst","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"2019_CAV_GarciaSoto.pdf","checksum":"1f1d61b83a151031745ef70a501da3d6","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:32Z","date_created":"2019-08-14T11:05:30Z","relation":"main_file","file_id":"6817"}],"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9783030255398"],"issn":["0302-9743"]},"month":"07","project":[{"_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"754411","call_identifier":"H2020","name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships"},{"grant_number":"S 11407_N23","_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering","call_identifier":"FWF"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"}],"isi":1,"quality_controlled":"1","oa":1,"tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"external_id":{"isi":["000491468000016"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1007/978-3-030-25540-4_16","conference":{"name":"CAV: Computer-Aided Verification","start_date":"2019-07-15","location":"New York City, NY, USA","end_date":"2019-07-18"},"ec_funded":1,"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:32Z","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publisher":"Springer","publication_status":"published","year":"2019","volume":11561,"date_created":"2019-05-27T07:09:53Z","date_updated":"2023-08-25T10:40:41Z","author":[{"last_name":"Garcia Soto","first_name":"Miriam","orcid":"0000−0003−2936−5719","id":"4B3207F6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Garcia Soto, Miriam"},{"full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000−0002−2985−7724","first_name":"Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger"},{"last_name":"Schilling","first_name":"Christian","orcid":"0000-0003-3658-1065","id":"3A2F4DCE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Schilling, Christian"},{"id":"3ADCA2E4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Luka","last_name":"Zeleznik","full_name":"Zeleznik, Luka"}]},{"publication_identifier":{"issn":["00045411"],"eissn":["1557735X"]},"month":"07","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1145/3340295","project":[{"call_identifier":"FWF","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"Z211"},{"grant_number":"S11402-N23","_id":"25F2ACDE-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FWF","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering"},{"grant_number":"M02369","_id":"264B3912-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Formal Methods meets Algorithmic Game Theory","call_identifier":"FWF"}],"quality_controlled":"1","isi":1,"oa":1,"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.01433"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["1705.01433"],"isi":["000487714900008"]},"article_number":"31","volume":66,"date_created":"2019-08-04T21:59:16Z","date_updated":"2023-08-29T07:02:13Z","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"earlier_version","status":"public","id":"950"}]},"author":[{"first_name":"Guy","last_name":"Avni","id":"463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-5588-8287","full_name":"Avni, Guy"},{"full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000−0002−2985−7724","first_name":"Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger"},{"full_name":"Chonev, Ventsislav K","first_name":"Ventsislav K","last_name":"Chonev","id":"36CBE2E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publisher":"ACM","publication_status":"published","year":"2019","article_processing_charge":"No","day":"16","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"2019-07-16T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ama":"Avni G, Henzinger TA, Chonev VK.

The game is played by moving a token throughout a graph to produce an infinite path. There are several common modes to determine how the players move the token through the graph; e.g., in turn-based games the players alternate turns in moving the token. We study the bidding mode of moving the token, which, to the best of our knowledge, has never been studied in infinite-duration games. The following bidding rule was previously defined and called Richman bidding. Both players have separate budgets, which sum up to 1. In each turn, a bidding takes place: Both players submit bids simultaneously, where a bid is legal if it does not exceed the available budget, and the higher bidder pays his bid to the other player and moves the token. The central question studied in bidding games is a necessary and sufficient initial budget for winning the game: a threshold budget in a vertex is a value t ∈ [0, 1] such that if Player 1’s budget exceeds t, he can win the game; and if Player 2’s budget exceeds 1 − t, he can win the game. Threshold budgets were previously shown to exist in every vertex of a reachability game, which have an interesting connection with random-turn games—a sub-class of simple stochastic games in which the player who moves is chosen randomly. We show the existence of threshold budgets for a qualitative class of infinite-duration games, namely parity games, and a quantitative class, namely mean-payoff games. The key component of the proof is a quantitative solution to strongly connected mean-payoff bidding games in which we extend the connection with random-turn games to these games, and construct explicit optimal strategies for both players.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","oa_version":"Preprint","intvolume":" 66","title":"Infinite-duration bidding games","status":"public","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","_id":"6752"},{"status":"public","title":"From real-time logic to timed automata","intvolume":" 66","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","_id":"7109","oa_version":"None","type":"journal_article","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"We show how to construct temporal testers for the logic MITL, a prominent linear-time logic for real-time systems.

We first rewrite the MITL formula into a “simple” formula using a limited set of temporal modalities. We then build testers for these specific modalities and show how to compose testers for simple formulae into complex ones. Temporal testers can be turned into acceptors, yielding a compositional translation from MITL to timed automata. This construction is much simpler than previously known and remains asymptotically optimal. It supports both past and future operators and can easily be extended."}],"issue":"3","article_type":"original","publication":"Journal of the ACM","citation":{"chicago":"Ferrere, Thomas, Oded Maler, Dejan Ničković, and Amir Pnueli. “From Real-Time Logic to Timed Automata.” Journal of the ACM.

If the transcription factors are not affected by gene products, the regulating function is often represented as a combinational logic circuit, where the outputs (product) are determined by current input values (transcription factors) only, and are hence independent on their relative arrival times. However, the simultaneous arrival of transcription factors (TFs) in genetic circuits is a strong assumption, given that the processes of transcription and translation of a gene into a protein introduce intrinsic time delays and that there is no global synchronisation among the arrival times of different molecular species at molecular targets.\r\n\r\nIn this paper, we construct an experimentally implementable genetic circuit with two inputs and a single output, such that, in presence of small delays in input arrival, the circuit exhibits qualitatively distinct observable phenotypes. In particular, these phenotypes are long lived transients: they all converge to a single value, but so slowly, that they seem stable for an extended time period, longer than typical experiment duration. We used rule-based language to prototype our circuit, and we implemented a search for finding the parameter combinations raising the phenotypes of interest.\r\n\r\nThe behaviour of our prototype circuit has wide implications. First, it suggests that GRNs can exploit event timing to create phenotypes. Second, it opens the possibility that GRNs are using event timing to react to stimuli and memorise events, without explicit feedback in regulation. From the modelling perspective, our prototype circuit demonstrates the critical importance of analysing the transient dynamics at the promoter binding sites of the DNA, before applying rapid equilibrium assumptions."}],"status":"public","title":"Transient memory in gene regulation","intvolume":" 11773","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","_id":"7147","oa_version":"None","scopus_import":"1","day":"17","article_processing_charge":"No","page":"155-187","publication":"17th International Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology","citation":{"ista":"Guet CC, Henzinger TA, Igler C, Petrov T, Sezgin A. 2019.

Extracting temporal segments that encode patterns with useful information out of these huge amounts of data is an extremely difficult problem. We propose shape expressions as a declarative formalism for specifying, querying and extracting sophisticated temporal patterns from possibly noisy data. Shape expressions are regular expressions with arbitrary (linear, exponential, sinusoidal, etc.) shapes with parameters as atomic predicates and additional constraints on these parameters. We equip shape expressions with a novel noisy semantics that combines regular expression matching semantics with statistical regression. We characterize essential properties of the formalism and propose an efficient approximate shape expression matching procedure. We demonstrate the wide applicability of this technique on two case studies.

PBT has advantages over traditional time-step based methods in dealing with those nonlinear dynamical systems in which there is a large difference in speed between trajectories, producing an overapproximation that is time independent. However, the existing approach for PBT is not efficient due to the application of interval methods for enclosure-box computation, and it can only deal with continuous dynamical systems without uncertainty. In this paper, we extend the approach with the ability to handle both continuous and hybrid dynamical systems with uncertainty that can reside in parameters and/or noise. We also improve the efficiency of the method significantly, by avoiding the use of interval-based methods for the enclosure-box computation without loosing soundness. We have developed a C++ prototype implementing the proposed approach and we evaluate it on several benchmarks. The experiments show that our approach is more efficient and precise than other methods in the literature.","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"7231","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","intvolume":" 11750","status":"public","title":"Piecewise robust barrier tubes for nonlinear hybrid systems with uncertainty","oa_version":"Preprint","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0302-9743"],"eissn":["1611-3349"],"isbn":["978-3-0302-9661-2"]},"month":"08","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11514"}],"oa":1,"external_id":{"arxiv":["1907.11514"],"isi":["000611677700008"]},"project":[{"grant_number":"S 11407_N23","_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering","call_identifier":"FWF"},{"name":"Game Theory","call_identifier":"FWF","grant_number":"S11407","_id":"25863FF4-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"Z211"}],"isi":1,"quality_controlled":"1","doi":"10.1007/978-3-030-29662-9_8","conference":{"location":"Amsterdam, The Netherlands","start_date":"2019-08-27","end_date":"2019-08-29","name":"FORMATS: Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"year":"2019","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publisher":"Springer Nature","publication_status":"published","author":[{"id":"3BDE25AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-3066-6941","first_name":"Hui","last_name":"Kong","full_name":"Kong, Hui"},{"last_name":"Bartocci","first_name":"Ezio","full_name":"Bartocci, Ezio"},{"full_name":"Jiang, Yu","last_name":"Jiang","first_name":"Yu"},{"full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000−0002−2985−7724","first_name":"Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger"}],"volume":11750,"date_updated":"2023-09-06T14:55:15Z","date_created":"2020-01-05T23:00:47Z"},{"scopus_import":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","day":"13","page":"59-75","citation":{"chicago":"Ferrere, Thomas, Oded Maler, and Dejan Nickovic. “Mixed-Time Signal Temporal Logic.” In 17th International Conference on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems, 11750:59–75.

To combine the two layers, we evaluate formulas on two traces, discrete- and continuous-time, and introduce two interface operators that map signals, properties and their satisfaction signals across the two time domains.

Formal analysis that can guarantee the safety of all behaviors or rigorously witness failures, while unsolvable in general, has been tackled algorithmically using, e.g., abstraction, bounded model-checking, assisted theorem proving.\r\nNevertheless, very few methods have addressed the time-unbounded reachability analysis of hybrid automata and, for current sound and automatic tools, scalability remains critical. We develop methods for the polyhedral abstraction of hybrid automata, which construct coarse overapproximations and tightens them incrementally, in a CEGAR fashion. We use template polyhedra, i.e., polyhedra whose facets are normal to a given set of directions.\r\nWhile, previously, directions were given by the user, we introduce (1) the first method\r\nfor computing template directions from spurious counterexamples, so as to generalize and\r\neliminate them. The method applies naturally to convex hybrid automata, i.e., hybrid\r\nautomata with (possibly non-linear) convex constraints on derivatives only, while for linear\r\nODE requires further abstraction. Specifically, we introduce (2) the conic abstractions,\r\nwhich, partitioning the state space into appropriate (possibly non-uniform) cones, divide\r\ncurvy trajectories into relatively straight sections, suitable for polyhedral abstractions.\r\nFinally, we introduce (3) space-time interpolation, which, combining interval arithmetic\r\nand template refinement, computes appropriate (possibly non-uniform) time partitioning\r\nand template directions along spurious trajectories, so as to eliminate them.\r\nWe obtain sound and automatic methods for the reachability analysis over dense\r\nand unbounded time of convex hybrid automata and hybrid automata with linear ODE.\r\nWe build prototype tools and compare—favorably—our methods against the respective\r\nstate-of-the-art tools, on several benchmarks."}]},{"scopus_import":"1","publication_identifier":{"eisbn":["978-3-319-10575-8"],"isbn":["978-3-319-10574-1"]},"article_processing_charge":"No","day":"08","month":"06","page":"XLVIII, 1212","quality_controlled":"1","citation":{"ista":"Clarke EM, Henzinger TA, Veith H, Bloem R. 2018.

In the classicalmodel, each player selects a path connecting her source and target vertices. The cost of traversingan edge depends on theload; namely, number of players that traverse it. Thus, it abstracts the factthat different users may use a resource at different times and for different durations, which playsan important role in determining the costs of the users in reality. For example, when transmittingpackets in a communication network, routing traffic in a road network, or processing a task in aproduction system, actual sharing and congestion of resources crucially depends on time.In [13], we introducedtimed network games, which add a time component to network games.Each vertexvin the network is associated with a cost function, mapping the load onvto theprice that a player pays for staying invfor one time unit with this load. Each edge in thenetwork is guarded by the time intervals in which it can be traversed, which forces the players tospend time in the vertices. In this work we significantly extend the way time can be referred toin timed network games. In the model we study, the network is equipped withclocks, and, as intimed automata, edges are guarded by constraints on the values of the clocks, and their traversalmay involve a reset of some clocks. We argue that the stronger model captures many realisticnetworks. The addition of clocks breaks the techniques we developed in [13] and we developnew techniques in order to show that positive results on classic network games carry over to thestronger timed setting."}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LIPIcs"],"file":[{"date_created":"2019-02-14T14:22:04Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:15Z","checksum":"41ab2ae9b63f5eb49fa995250c0ba128","file_id":"6007","relation":"main_file","creator":"dernst","file_size":542889,"content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"2018_LIPIcs_Avni.pdf","access_level":"open_access"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","_id":"6005","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","intvolume":" 117","title":"Timed network games with clocks","ddc":["000"],"status":"public","has_accepted_license":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","day":"01","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"2018-08-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"short":"G.

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 computation threads. We present synchronization, a new proof rule that simplifies the verification of asynchronous programs by introducing the fiction, for proof purposes, that asynchronous operations complete synchronously. Synchronization summarizes an asynchronous computation as immediate atomic effect. Modular verification is enabled via pending asynchronous calls in atomic summaries, and a complementary proof rule that eliminates pending asynchronous calls when components and their specifications are composed. We evaluate synchronization in the context of a multi-layer refinement verification methodology on a collection of benchmark programs."}],"intvolume":" 118","title":"Synchronizing the asynchronous","status":"public","ddc":["000"],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"133","file":[{"file_name":"IST-2018-853-v2+2_concur2018.pdf","access_level":"open_access","file_size":745438,"content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"system","relation":"main_file","file_id":"5368","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:18:46Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:44:44Z","checksum":"c90895f4c5fafc18ddc54d1c8848077e"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","pubrep_id":"1039"},{"date_published":"2018-04-14T00:00:00Z","page":"303 - 319","citation":{"ama":"Nickovic D, Lebeltel O, Maler O, Ferrere T, Ulus D.

While finite-state monitors have been studied extensively, in practice, monitoring software also makes use of unbounded memory. We define a model of automata equipped with integer-valued registers which can execute only a bounded number of instructions between consecutive events, and thus can form the theoretical basis for the study of infinite-state monitors. We classify these register monitors according to the number k of available registers, and the type of register instructions. In stark contrast to the theory of computability for register machines, we prove that for every k 1, monitors with k + 1 counters (with instruction set 〈+1, =〉) are strictly more expressive than monitors with k counters. We also show that adder monitors (with instruction set 〈1, +, =〉) are strictly more expressive than counter monitors, but are complete for monitoring all computable safety -languages for k = 6. Real-time monitors are further required to signal the occurrence of a safety violation as soon as it occurs. The expressiveness hierarchy for counter monitors carries over to real-time monitors. We then show that 2 adders cannot simulate 3 counters in real-time. Finally, we show that real-time adder monitors with inequalities are as expressive as real-time Turing machines.","lang":"eng"}],"publist_id":"7779"},{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"We describe a new algorithm for the parametric identification problem for signal temporal logic (STL), stated as follows.

Such games are central in formal verification since they model the interaction between a non-terminating system and its environment. We study bidding games in which the players bid for the right to move the token. Two bidding rules have been defined. In Richman bidding, in each round, the players simultaneously submit bids, and the higher bidder moves the token and pays the other player. Poorman bidding is similar except that the winner of the bidding pays the “bank” rather than the other player. While poorman reachability games have been studied before, we present, for the first time, results on infinite-duration poorman games. A central quantity in these games is the ratio between the two players’ initial budgets. The questions we study concern a necessary and sufficient ratio with which a player can achieve a goal. For reachability objectives, such threshold ratios are known to exist for both bidding rules. We show that the properties of poorman reachability games extend to complex qualitative objectives such as parity, similarly to the Richman case. Our most interesting results concern quantitative poorman games, namely poorman mean-payoff games, where we construct optimal strategies depending on the initial ratio, by showing a connection with random-turn based games. The connection in itself is interesting, because it does not hold for reachability poorman games. We also solve the complexity problems that arise in poorman bidding games.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Avni, Guy, Thomas A Henzinger, and Rasmus Ibsen-Jensen. “Infinite-Duration Poorman-Bidding Games,” 11316:21–36.

This laborious task essentially requires expert knowledge of the system in order to discover the cause of the fault. In this context, we propose a new procedure that AIDS designers in debugging Simulink/Stateflow hybrid system models, guided by Signal Temporal Logic (STL) specifications. The proposed method relies on three main ingredients: (1) a monitoring and a trace diagnostics procedure that checks whether a tested behavior satisfies or violates an STL specification, localizes time segments and interfaces variables contributing to the property violations; (2) a slicing procedure that maps these observable behavior segments to the internal states and transitions of the Simulink model; and (3) a spectrum-based fault-localization method that combines the previous analysis from multiple tests to identify the internal states and/or transitions that are the most likely to explain the fault. We demonstrate the applicability of our approach on two Simulink models from the automotive and the avionics domain."}],"alternative_title":["HSCC Proceedings"],"type":"conference","date_published":"2018-04-11T00:00:00Z","page":"197 - 206","citation":{"ieee":"E.

The common approach to tackle this problem is to perform a numerical integration over a given time horizon based on Taylor expansion and interval arithmetic. However, this method results to be very conservative when there is a large difference in speed between trajectories as time progresses. In this paper, we propose to use combinations of barrier functions, which we call piecewise barrier tube (PBT), to over-approximate flowpipe. The basic idea of PBT is that for each segment of a flowpipe, a coarse box which is big enough to contain the segment is constructed using sampled simulation and then in the box we compute by linear programming a set of barrier functions (called barrier tube or BT for short) which work together to form a tube surrounding the flowpipe. The benefit of using PBT is that (1) BT is independent of time and hence can avoid being stretched and deformed by time; and (2) a small number of BTs can form a tight over-approximation for the flowpipe, which means that the computation required to decide whether the BTs intersect the unsafe set can be reduced significantly. We implemented a prototype called PBTS in C++. Experiments on some benchmark systems show that our approach is effective."}],"citation":{"mla":"Kong, Hui, et al.

First, the generic models and safety requirements described in International Electrotechnical Commission Standard 61375 are formalized as time automata and timed computation tree logic formulas, respectively. With model checking tool Uppaal, we verify whether or not the constructed timed automata satisfy the formulas and several logic inconsistencies in the original standard are detected and corrected. Then, we apply the code generation tool Times to generate C code from the verified model, which is later synthesized into a real MVBC chip, with some handwriting glue code. Furthermore, the runtime verification tool RMOR is applied on the integrated code, to verify some safety requirements that cannot be formalized on the timed automata. For evaluation, we compare the proposed approach with existing MVBC design methods, such as BeagleBone, Galsblock, and Simulink. Experiments show that more ambiguousness or bugs in the standard are detected during Uppaal verification, and the generated code of Times outperforms the C code generated by others in terms of the synthesized binary code size. The errors in the standard have been confirmed and the resulting MVBC has been deployed in the real train communication network."}],"issue":"10","type":"journal_article","oa_version":"None","status":"public","title":"Safety-assured model-driven design of the multifunction vehicle bus controller","intvolume":" 19","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","_id":"434","month":"01","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1109/TITS.2017.2778077","quality_controlled":"1","isi":1,"external_id":{"isi":["000446651100020"]},"publist_id":"7389","date_updated":"2023-09-18T08:12:49Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:46:27Z","volume":19,"author":[{"full_name":"Jiang, Yu","last_name":"Jiang","first_name":"Yu"},{"last_name":"Liu","first_name":"Han","full_name":"Liu, Han"},{"last_name":"Song","first_name":"Huobing","full_name":"Song, Huobing"},{"id":"3BDE25AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-3066-6941","first_name":"Hui","last_name":"Kong","full_name":"Kong, Hui"},{"last_name":"Wang","first_name":"Rui","full_name":"Wang, Rui"},{"full_name":"Guan, Yong","first_name":"Yong","last_name":"Guan"},{"full_name":"Sha, Lui","first_name":"Lui","last_name":"Sha"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","relation":"earlier_version","id":"1205"}]},"publication_status":"published","publisher":"IEEE","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"year":"2018"},{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Reachability analysis is difficult for hybrid automata with affine differential equations, because the reach set needs to be approximated. Promising abstraction techniques usually employ interval methods or template polyhedra. Interval methods account for dense time and guarantee soundness, and there are interval-based tools that overapproximate affine flowpipes. But interval methods impose bounded and rigid shapes, which make refinement expensive and fixpoint detection difficult. Template polyhedra, on the other hand, can be adapted flexibly and can be unbounded, but sound template refinement for unbounded reachability analysis has been implemented only for systems with piecewise constant dynamics. We capitalize on the advantages of both techniques, combining interval arithmetic and template polyhedra, using the former to abstract time and the latter to abstract space. During a CEGAR loop, whenever a spurious error trajectory is found, we compute additional space constraints and split time intervals, and use these space-time interpolants to eliminate the counterexample. Space-time interpolation offers a lazy, flexible framework for increasing precision while guaranteeing soundness, both for error avoidance and fixpoint detection. To the best of out knowledge, this is the first abstraction refinement scheme for the reachability analysis over unbounded and dense time of affine hybrid systems, which is both sound and automatic. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm with several benchmark examples, which cannot be handled by other tools."}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"pubrep_id":"1010","file":[{"file_size":563710,"content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"system","file_name":"IST-2018-1010-v1+1_space-time_interpolants.pdf","access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:17:53Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:44:50Z","checksum":"6dca832f575d6b3f0ea9dff56f579142","relation":"main_file","file_id":"5310"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","_id":"140","title":"Space-time interpolants","ddc":["005"],"status":"public","intvolume":" 10981","day":"18","article_processing_charge":"No","has_accepted_license":"1","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"2018-07-18T00:00:00Z","citation":{"chicago":"Frehse, Goran, Mirco Giacobbe, and Thomas A Henzinger. “Space-Time Interpolants,” 10981:468–86.

In particular, graph games with ω -regular winning conditions, specified as parity objectives, which can express properties such as safety, liveness, fairness, are the basic framework for verification and synthesis of reactive systems. The decisions for a player at various states of the graph game are represented as strategies. While the algorithmic problem for solving graph games with parity objectives has been widely studied, the most prominent data-structure for strategy representation in graph games has been binary decision diagrams (BDDs). However, due to the bit-level representation, BDDs do not retain the inherent flavor of the decisions of strategies, and are notoriously hard to minimize to obtain succinct representation. In this work we propose decision trees for strategy representation in graph games. Decision trees retain the flavor of decisions of strategies and allow entropy-based minimization to obtain succinct trees. However, decision trees work in settings (e.g., probabilistic models) where errors are allowed, and overfitting of data is typically avoided. In contrast, for strategies in graph games no error is allowed, and the decision tree must represent the entire strategy. We develop new techniques to extend decision trees to overcome the above obstacles, while retaining the entropy-based techniques to obtain succinct trees. We have implemented our techniques to extend the existing decision tree solvers. We present experimental results for problems in reactive synthesis to show that decision trees provide a much more efficient data-structure for strategy representation as compared to BDDs.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"date_published":"2018-04-12T00:00:00Z","citation":{"chicago":"Brázdil, Tomáš, Krishnendu Chatterjee, Jan Kretinsky, and Viktor Toman. “Strategy Representation by Decision Trees in Reactive Synthesis,” 10805:385–407.

In this paper we add optimality considerations to the setting. We distinguish between quality considerations (for example, size - the smaller a system is, the better it is), and pricing (for example, the payment to the company who manufactured the component). We study the problem of designing systems with minimal quality-cost and price. A key point is that while the quality cost is individual - the choices of a designer are independent of choices made by other designers that use the same library, pricing gives rise to a resource-allocation game - designers that use the same component share its price, with the share being proportional to the number of uses (a component can be used several times in a design). We study both closed and open settings, and in both we solve the problem of finding an optimal design. In a setting with multiple designers, we also study the game-theoretic problems of the induced resource-allocation game."}],"type":"journal_article","oa_version":"Published Version","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","_id":"608","title":"Synthesis from component libraries with costs","status":"public","intvolume":" 712","day":"15","article_processing_charge":"No","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"2018-02-15T00:00:00Z","publication":"Theoretical Computer Science","citation":{"chicago":"Avni, Guy, and Orna Kupferman. “Synthesis from Component Libraries with Costs.” Theoretical Computer Science.

In this paper, we propose a formal framework for specifying and monitoring rich temporal properties of real-valued signals. We introduce signal first-order logic (SFO) as a specification language that combines first-order logic with linear-real arithmetic and unary function symbols interpreted as piecewise-linear signals. We first show that while the satisfiability problem for SFO is undecidable, its membership and monitoring problems are decidable. We develop an offline monitoring procedure for SFO that has polynomial complexity in the size of the input trace and the specification, for a fixed number of quantifiers and function symbols. We show that the algorithm has computation time linear in the size of the input trace for the important fragment of bounded-response specifications interpreted over input traces with finite variability. We can use our results to extend signal temporal logic with first-order quantifiers over time and value parameters, while preserving its efficient monitoring. We finally demonstrate the practical appeal of our logic through a case study in the micro-electronics domain.","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"5959","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","title":"Keynote: The first-order logic of signals","status":"public","ddc":["000"],"oa_version":"Published Version","file":[{"relation":"main_file","file_id":"7839","date_created":"2020-05-14T16:01:29Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:13Z","checksum":"234a33ad9055b3458fcdda6af251b33a","file_name":"2018_EMSOFT_Bakhirkin.pdf","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":338006,"creator":"dernst"}]},{"_id":"24","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","intvolume":" 2018","title":"Expectation optimization with probabilistic guarantees in POMDPs with discounted-sum objectives","status":"public","oa_version":"Preprint","type":"conference","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Partially-observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) with discounted-sum payoff are a standard framework to model a wide range of problems related to decision making under uncertainty. Traditionally, the goal has been to obtain policies that optimize the expectation of the discounted-sum payoff. A key drawback of the expectation measure is that even low probability events with extreme payoff can significantly affect the expectation, and thus the obtained policies are not necessarily risk-averse. An alternate approach is to optimize the probability that the payoff is above a certain threshold, which allows obtaining risk-averse policies, but ignores optimization of the expectation. We consider the expectation optimization with probabilistic guarantee (EOPG) problem, where the goal is to optimize the expectation ensuring that the payoff is above a given threshold with at least a specified probability.

In formal verification, abstraction has proven to be an extremely effective technique for reasoning about systems with big and even infinite state spaces. We describe an abstraction-refinement methodology for reasoning about NGs. Our methodology is based on an abstraction function that maps the state space of an NG to a much smaller state space. We search for a global optimum and a Nash equilibrium by reasoning on an under- and an over-approximation defined on top of this smaller state space. When the approximations are too coarse to find such profiles, we refine the abstraction function. We extend the abstraction-refinement methodology to labeled networks, where the objectives of the players are regular languages.

Contract-based design provides a rigorous scaffolding for verification, analysis, abstraction/refinement, and even synthesis. A number of results have been obtained in this domain but a unified treatment of the topic that can help put contract-based design in perspective was missing. This monograph intends to provide such a treatment where contracts are precisely defined and characterized so that they can be used in design methodologies with no ambiguity. In particular, this monograph identifies the essence of complex system design using contracts through a mathematical “meta-theory”, where all the properties of the methodology are derived from a very abstract and generic notion of contract. We show that the meta-theory provides deep and illuminating links with existing contract and interface theories, as well as guidelines for designing new theories. Our study encompasses contracts for both software and systems, with emphasis on the latter. We illustrate the use of contracts with two examples: requirement engineering for a parking garage management, and the development of contracts for timing and scheduling in the context of the Autosar methodology in use in the automotive sector."}],"type":"journal_article","oa_version":"Submitted Version","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"5677","intvolume":" 12","title":"Contracts for system design","status":"public","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1551-3939"]},"month":"05","doi":"10.1561/1000000053","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://hal.inria.fr/hal-00757488/","open_access":"1"}],"oa":1,"quality_controlled":"1","author":[{"full_name":"Benveniste, Albert","first_name":"Albert","last_name":"Benveniste"},{"last_name":"Nickovic","first_name":"Dejan","full_name":"Nickovic, Dejan"},{"full_name":"Caillaud, Benoît","last_name":"Caillaud","first_name":"Benoît"},{"full_name":"Passerone, Roberto","last_name":"Passerone","first_name":"Roberto"},{"last_name":"Raclet","first_name":"Jean Baptiste","full_name":"Raclet, Jean Baptiste"},{"full_name":"Reinkemeier, Philipp","last_name":"Reinkemeier","first_name":"Philipp"},{"first_name":"Alberto","last_name":"Sangiovanni-Vincentelli","full_name":"Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, Alberto"},{"full_name":"Damm, Werner","first_name":"Werner","last_name":"Damm"},{"first_name":"Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000−0002−2985−7724","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A"},{"last_name":"Larsen","first_name":"Kim G.","full_name":"Larsen, Kim G."}],"volume":12,"date_created":"2018-12-16T22:59:19Z","date_updated":"2023-10-17T11:53:09Z","year":"2018","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publisher":"Now Publishers","publication_status":"published"},{"type":"journal_article","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"We present a new proof rule for proving almost-sure termination of probabilistic programs, including those that contain demonic non-determinism.

The main idea is that we monitor each simulation run on the fly, in order to detect quickly if a bottom strongly connected component is entered with high probability, in which case the simulation run can be terminated early. As a result, our simulation runs are often much shorter than required by termination bounds that are computed a priori for a desired level of confidence on a large state space. In comparison to previous algorithms for statistical model checking our method is not only faster in many cases but also requires less information about the system, namely, only the minimum transition probability that occurs in the Markov chain. In addition, our method can be generalised to unbounded quantitative properties such as mean-payoff bounds. "}]},{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","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 or in any other known 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. In 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 runtime 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."}],"issue":"4","type":"journal_article","oa_version":"Preprint","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"467","status":"public","title":"Nested weighted automata","intvolume":" 18","day":"01","scopus_import":1,"date_published":"2017-12-01T00:00:00Z","publication":"ACM Transactions on Computational Logic (TOCL)","citation":{"ista":"Chatterjee K, Henzinger TA, Otop J. 2017.

We study the edit distance computation problem between pushdown automata and their subclasses. The 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 the following problems: (1) deciding whether, for a given threshold k , the edit distance from a pushdown automaton to a finite automaton is at most k , and (2) deciding whether the edit distance from a pushdown automaton to a finite automaton is finite.

The tree is constructed from random points drawn from system’s state space and is biased to grow towards large unexplored areas in the system. RRT can provide better coverage of a system’s possible behaviors compared with random simulations, but is more lightweight than full reachability analysis. In this paper, we explore some of the design decisions encountered while implementing a hybrid extension of the RRT algorithm, which have not been elaborated on before. In particular, we focus on handling non-determinism, which arises due to discrete transitions. We introduce the notion of important points to account for this phenomena. We showcase our ideas using heater and navigation benchmarks.","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"633","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","intvolume":" 10381","title":"Challenges and tool implementation of hybrid rapidly exploring random trees","status":"public","oa_version":"None","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["978-331963500-2"]},"month":"01","project":[{"call_identifier":"FWF","name":"Moderne Concurrency Paradigms","_id":"25F5A88A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"S11402-N23"},{"grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","call_identifier":"FWF"}],"quality_controlled":"1","doi":"10.1007/978-3-319-63501-9_6","conference":{"end_date":"2017-07-23","location":"Heidelberg, Germany","start_date":"2017-07-22","name":"NSV: Numerical Software Verification"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publist_id":"7159","year":"2017","publisher":"Springer","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"editor":[{"first_name":"Alessandro","last_name":"Abate","full_name":"Abate, Alessandro"},{"first_name":"Sylvie","last_name":"Bodo","full_name":"Bodo, Sylvie"}],"publication_status":"published","author":[{"last_name":"Bak","first_name":"Stanley","full_name":"Bak, Stanley"},{"full_name":"Bogomolov, Sergiy","id":"369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-0686-0365","first_name":"Sergiy","last_name":"Bogomolov"},{"id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000−0002−2985−7724","first_name":"Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A"},{"first_name":"Aviral","last_name":"Kumar","full_name":"Kumar, Aviral"}],"volume":10381,"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:47:37Z","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:07:06Z"},{"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["978-331965764-6"]},"month":"08","oa":1,"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01552132","open_access":"1"}],"project":[{"name":"Moderne Concurrency Paradigms","call_identifier":"FWF","_id":"25F5A88A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"S11402-N23"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"}],"quality_controlled":"1","doi":"10.1007/978-3-319-65765-3_11","conference":{"location":"Berlin, Germany","start_date":"2017-09-05","end_date":"2017-09-07","name":"FORMATS: Formal Modelling and Analysis of Timed Systems"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publist_id":"7152","year":"2017","editor":[{"full_name":"Abate, Alessandro","last_name":"Abate","first_name":"Alessandro"},{"full_name":"Geeraerts, Gilles","first_name":"Gilles","last_name":"Geeraerts"}],"department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publisher":"Springer","publication_status":"published","author":[{"first_name":"Alexey","last_name":"Bakhirkin","full_name":"Bakhirkin, Alexey"},{"id":"40960E6E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-5199-3143","first_name":"Thomas","last_name":"Ferrere","full_name":"Ferrere, Thomas"},{"full_name":"Maler, Oded","last_name":"Maler","first_name":"Oded"},{"full_name":"Ulus, Dogan","first_name":"Dogan","last_name":"Ulus"}],"volume":10419,"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:47:38Z","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:07:14Z","scopus_import":1,"day":"03","citation":{"ama":"Bakhirkin A, Ferrere T, Maler O, Ulus D.

In this paper we endow them with a quantitative semantics which indicates how robustly a signal matches or does not match a given expression. First, we show that this semantics is a safe approximation of a distance between the signal and the language defined by the expression. Then, we consider the robust matching problem, that is, computing the quantitative semantics of every segment of a given signal relative to an expression. We present an algorithm that solves this problem for piecewise-constant and piecewise-linear signals and show that for such signals the robustness map is a piecewise-linear function. The availability of an indicator describing how robustly a signal segment matches some regular pattern provides a general framework for quantitative monitoring of cyber-physical systems."}],"user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"636","intvolume":" 10419","status":"public","title":"On the quantitative semantics of regular expressions over real-valued signals","oa_version":"Submitted Version"},{"volume":10152,"oa_version":"None","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:47:38Z","date_updated":"2022-05-24T07:09:52Z","_id":"638","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","year":"2017","intvolume":" 10152","editor":[{"orcid":"0000-0002-0686-0365","id":"369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Bogomolov","first_name":"Sergiy","full_name":"Bogomolov, Sergiy"},{"full_name":"Martel, Matthieu","last_name":"Martel","first_name":"Matthieu"},{"first_name":"Pavithra","last_name":"Prabhakar","full_name":"Prabhakar, Pavithra"}],"publisher":"Springer","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"status":"public","publication_status":"published","title":"Numerical Software Verification","publist_id":"7150","abstract":[{"text":"This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th InternationalWorkshop on Numerical Software Verification, NSV 2016, held in Toronto, ON, Canada in July 2011 - colocated with CAV 2016, the 28th International Conference on Computer Aided Verification.\r\nThe NSV workshop is dedicated to the development of logical and mathematical techniques for the reasoning about programmability and reliability.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference_editor","doi":"10.1007/978-3-319-54292-8","date_published":"2017-01-01T00:00:00Z","conference":{"name":"NSV: Numerical Software Verification","start_date":"2016-07-17","location":"Toronto, ON, Canada","end_date":"2016-07-18"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Bogomolov, Sergiy, Matthieu Martel, and Pavithra Prabhakar, eds.

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."}],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:30Z","alternative_title":["IST Austria Technical Report"],"type":"technical_report","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2017-08-04T00:00:00Z","doi":"10.15479/AT:IST-2018-853-v2-2","page":"28","oa":1,"citation":{"mla":"Henzinger, Thomas A., et al.
