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."}],"alternative_title":["LIPIcs"],"type":"conference","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.4230/LIPICS.MFCS.2018.23","conference":{"location":"Liverpool, United Kingdom","start_date":"2018-08-27","end_date":"2018-08-31","name":"MFCS: Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science"},"project":[{"_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"S 11407_N23","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering","call_identifier":"FWF"},{"grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FWF","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","name":"Formal Methods meets Algorithmic Game Theory","_id":"264B3912-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"M02369"}],"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"},"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1868-8969"]},"month":"08","volume":117,"date_updated":"2023-02-23T14:02:58Z","date_created":"2019-02-14T14:12:09Z","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"earlier_version","status":"public","id":"963"}]},"author":[{"full_name":"Avni, Guy","orcid":"0000-0001-5588-8287","id":"463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Avni","first_name":"Guy"},{"full_name":"Guha, Shibashis","first_name":"Shibashis","last_name":"Guha"},{"full_name":"Kupferman, Orna","last_name":"Kupferman","first_name":"Orna"}],"publisher":"Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publication_status":"published","year":"2018","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:15Z","article_number":"23"},{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Synchronous programs are easy to specify because the side effects of an operation are finished by the time the invocation of the operation returns to the caller. Asynchronous programs, on the other hand, are difficult to specify because there are side effects due to pending computation scheduled as a result of the invocation of an operation. They are also difficult to verify because of the large number of possible interleavings of concurrent 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."}],"alternative_title":["LIPIcs"],"type":"conference","oa_version":"Published Version","file":[{"file_name":"IST-2018-853-v2+2_concur2018.pdf","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":745438,"creator":"system","relation":"main_file","file_id":"5368","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:18:46Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:44:44Z","checksum":"c90895f4c5fafc18ddc54d1c8848077e"}],"pubrep_id":"1039","intvolume":" 118","status":"public","title":"Synchronizing the asynchronous","ddc":["000"],"_id":"133","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","has_accepted_license":"1","day":"13","scopus_import":1,"date_published":"2018-08-13T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ama":"Kragl B, Qadeer S, Henzinger TA.

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."}],"department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publisher":"IEEE","publication_status":"published","title":"A theory of register monitors","status":"public","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","_id":"144","year":"2018","oa_version":"None","volume":"Part F138033","date_updated":"2023-09-08T11:49:13Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:44:52Z","author":[{"full_name":"Ferrere, Thomas","last_name":"Ferrere","first_name":"Thomas","orcid":"0000-0001-5199-3143","id":"40960E6E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"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":"Ege","last_name":"Saraç","full_name":"Saraç, Ege"}],"scopus_import":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","month":"07","day":"09","page":"394 - 403","quality_controlled":"1","isi":1,"citation":{"short":"T.

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."}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"]},{"month":"07","conference":{"end_date":"2018-07-17","start_date":"2018-07-14","location":"Oxford, UK","name":"CAV: Computer Aided Verification"},"doi":"10.1007/978-3-319-96145-3_5","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"isi":["000491481600005"]},"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,"quality_controlled":"1","isi":1,"project":[{"call_identifier":"FWF","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering","_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"S 11407_N23"}],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:04Z","publist_id":"7761","author":[{"last_name":"Kragl","first_name":"Bernhard","orcid":"0000-0001-7745-9117","id":"320FC952-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Kragl, Bernhard"},{"last_name":"Qadeer","first_name":"Shaz","full_name":"Qadeer, Shaz"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"dissertation_contains","status":"public","id":"8332"}]},"date_updated":"2023-09-13T08:45:09Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:44:57Z","volume":10981,"year":"2018","publication_status":"published","publisher":"Springer","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"day":"18","article_processing_charge":"No","has_accepted_license":"1","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"2018-07-18T00:00:00Z","citation":{"chicago":"Kragl, Bernhard, and Shaz Qadeer. “Layered Concurrent Programs,” 10981:79–102.

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 first describe a general monitoring algorithm based on an exhaustive computation of the set of satisfying clock assignments as a finite union of zones. We then propose a specialized monitoring algorithm for the one-variable case using a partition of the time domain based on the notion of region equivalence, whose complexity is linear in the length of the signal, thereby generalizing a known result regarding the monitoring of metric temporal logic (MTL).

We study pMDPs with reachability objectives where the parameter values are unknown and impossible to measure directly during execution, but there is a probability distribution known over the parameter values. We study for the first time computing parameter-independent strategies that are expectation optimal, i.e., optimize the expected reachability probability under the probability distribution over the parameters. We present an encoding of our problem to partially observable MDPs (POMDPs), i.e., a reduction of our problem to computing optimal strategies in POMDPs.

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."}],"_id":"142","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","intvolume":" 10981","ddc":["000"],"status":"public","title":"Reachable set over-approximation for nonlinear systems using piecewise barrier tubes","file":[{"creator":"dernst","file_size":5591566,"content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"2018_LNCS_Kong.pdf","access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2018-12-17T15:57:06Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:44:53Z","checksum":"fd95e8026deacef3dc752a733bb9355f","file_id":"5718","relation":"main_file"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","month":"07","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":["000491481600024"]},"project":[{"grant_number":"S 11407_N23","_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FWF","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering"},{"grant_number":"Z211","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FWF","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize"}],"quality_controlled":"1","isi":1,"doi":"10.1007/978-3-319-96145-3_24","conference":{"name":"CAV: Computer Aided Verification","location":"Oxford, United Kingdom","start_date":"2018-07-14","end_date":"2018-07-17"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publist_id":"7781","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:44:53Z","acknowledgement":"Austrian Science Fund FWF: S11402-N23, S11405-N23, Z211-N32","year":"2018","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publisher":"Springer","publication_status":"published","author":[{"last_name":"Kong","first_name":"Hui","orcid":"0000-0002-3066-6941","id":"3BDE25AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Kong, Hui"},{"full_name":"Bartocci, Ezio","first_name":"Ezio","last_name":"Bartocci"},{"id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000−0002−2985−7724","first_name":"Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A"}],"volume":10981,"date_updated":"2023-09-15T12:12:08Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:44:51Z"},{"intvolume":" 19","title":"Safety-assured model-driven design of the multifunction vehicle bus controller","status":"public","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","_id":"434","oa_version":"None","type":"journal_article","issue":"10","abstract":[{"text":"In this paper, we present a formal model-driven design approach to establish a safety-assured implementation of multifunction vehicle bus controller (MVBC), which controls the data transmission among the devices of the vehicle. 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.","lang":"eng"}],"page":"3320 - 3333","citation":{"chicago":"Jiang, Yu, Han Liu, Huobing Song, Hui Kong, Rui Wang, Yong Guan, and Lui Sha. “Safety-Assured Model-Driven Design of the Multifunction Vehicle Bus Controller.” IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems.

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.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"pubrep_id":"1010","file":[{"file_name":"IST-2018-1010-v1+1_space-time_interpolants.pdf","access_level":"open_access","file_size":563710,"content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"system","relation":"main_file","file_id":"5310","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:44:50Z","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:17:53Z","checksum":"6dca832f575d6b3f0ea9dff56f579142"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","_id":"140","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","status":"public","ddc":["005"],"title":"Space-time interpolants","intvolume":" 10981","day":"18","article_processing_charge":"No","has_accepted_license":"1","scopus_import":"1","date_published":"2018-07-18T00:00:00Z","citation":{"mla":"Frehse, Goran, et al.

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"}],"title":"Strategy representation by decision trees in reactive synthesis","status":"public","ddc":["000"],"intvolume":" 10805","_id":"297","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","oa_version":"Published Version","file":[{"relation":"main_file","file_id":"5723","checksum":"b13874ffb114932ad9cc2586b7469db4","date_created":"2018-12-17T16:29:08Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:57Z","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"2018_LNCS_Brazdil.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":1829940,"creator":"dernst"}],"scopus_import":"1","day":"12","has_accepted_license":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","page":"385 - 407","citation":{"chicago":"Brázdil, Tomáš, Krishnendu Chatterjee, Jan Kretinsky, and Viktor Toman. “Strategy Representation by Decision Trees in Reactive Synthesis,” 10805:385–407.

In real life, hardware and software systems are rarely constructed from scratch. Rather, a system is typically constructed from a library of components.

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."}],"user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","_id":"608","intvolume":" 712","title":"Synthesis from component libraries with costs","status":"public","oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","day":"15","citation":{"ama":"Avni G, Kupferman O.

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.

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. We present several results on the EOPG problem, including the first algorithm to solve it.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","oa_version":"Preprint","intvolume":" 2018","status":"public","title":"Expectation optimization with probabilistic guarantees in POMDPs with discounted-sum objectives","_id":"24","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","month":"07","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2018/652","conference":{"location":"Stockholm, Sweden","start_date":"2018-07-13","end_date":"2018-07-19","name":"IJCAI: International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence"},"project":[{"_id":"25892FC0-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"ICT15-003","name":"Efficient Algorithms for Computer Aided Verification"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering","_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"S 11407_N23"},{"name":"Quantitative Graph Games: Theory and Applications","call_identifier":"FP7","_id":"2581B60A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"279307"}],"isi":1,"quality_controlled":"1","oa":1,"external_id":{"isi":["000764175404117"],"arxiv":["1804.10601"]},"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.10601"}],"ec_funded":1,"publist_id":"8031","volume":2018,"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:44:13Z","date_updated":"2023-09-19T14:45:48Z","author":[{"full_name":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu","last_name":"Chatterjee","first_name":"Krishnendu","orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X","id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Elgyütt, Adrian","last_name":"Elgyütt","first_name":"Adrian","id":"4A2E9DBA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Novotny, Petr","id":"3CC3B868-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Petr","last_name":"Novotny"},{"first_name":"Owen","last_name":"Rouillé","full_name":"Rouillé, Owen"}],"publisher":"IJCAI","department":[{"_id":"KrCh"},{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publication_status":"published","acknowledgement":"This research was supported by the Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) grant ICT15-003; Austrian Science Fund (FWF): S11407-N23(RiSE/SHiNE);and an ERC Start Grant (279307:Graph Games).\r\n","year":"2018"},{"month":"09","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2073-4336"]},"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,"quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"call_identifier":"FWF","name":"Formal Methods meets Algorithmic Game Theory","_id":"264B3912-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"M02369"},{"grant_number":"S 11407_N23","_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FWF","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering"},{"_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"Z211","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize","call_identifier":"FWF"}],"doi":"10.3390/g9030039","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_number":"39","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:16Z","year":"2018","publication_status":"published","publisher":"MDPI AG","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"author":[{"first_name":"Guy","last_name":"Avni","id":"463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-5588-8287","full_name":"Avni, Guy"},{"full_name":"Guha, Shibashis","first_name":"Shibashis","last_name":"Guha"},{"full_name":"Kupferman, Orna","first_name":"Orna","last_name":"Kupferman"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"1003","status":"public","relation":"earlier_version"}]},"date_updated":"2023-09-22T09:48:59Z","date_created":"2019-02-14T14:17:54Z","volume":9,"scopus_import":1,"day":"01","has_accepted_license":"1","publication":"Games","citation":{"short":"G.

Search problems for NGs include finding special strategy profiles such as a Nash equilibrium and a globally-optimal solution. The networks modeled by NGs may be huge. 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. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology.
