text: 'In this paper, we propose an approach to automatically compute invariant
clusters for nonlinear semialgebraic hybrid systems. An invariant cluster for
an ordinary differential equation (ODE) is a multivariate polynomial invariant
g(u→, x→) = 0, parametric in u→, which can yield an infinite number of concrete
invariants by assigning different values to u→ so that every trajectory of the
system can be overapproximated precisely by the intersection of a group of concrete
invariants. For semialgebraic systems, which involve ODEs with multivariate polynomial
right-hand sides, given a template multivariate polynomial g(u→, x→), an invariant
cluster can be obtained by first computing the remainder of the Lie derivative
of g(u→, x→) divided by g(u→, x→) and then solving the system of polynomial equations
obtained from the coefficients of the remainder. Based on invariant clusters and
sum-of-squares (SOS) programming, we present a new method for the safety verification
of hybrid systems. Experiments on nonlinear benchmark systems from biology and
control theory show that our approach is efficient. '

text: Nested weighted automata (NWA) present a robust and convenient automata-theoretic
formalism for quantitative specifications. Previous works have considered NWA
that processed input words only in the forward direction. It is natural to allow
the automata to process input words backwards as well, for example, to measure
the maximal or average time between a response and the preceding request. We therefore
introduce and study bidirectional NWA that can process input words in both directions.
First, we show that bidirectional NWA can express interesting quantitative properties
that are not expressible by forward-only NWA. Second, for the fundamental decision
problems of emptiness and universality, we establish decidability and complexity
results for the new framework which match the best-known results for the special
case of forward-only NWA. Thus, for NWA, the increased expressiveness of bidirectionality
is achieved at no additional computational complexity. This is in stark contrast
to the unweighted case, where bidirectional finite automata are no more expressive
but exponentially more succinct than their forward-only counterparts.

text: 'Network games are widely used as a model for selfish resource-allocation
problems. In the classical model, each player selects a path connecting her source
and target vertex. The cost of traversing an edge depends on the number of players
that traverse it. Thus, it abstracts the fact that different users may use a resource
at different times and for different durations, which plays an important role
in defining the costs of the users in reality. For example, when transmitting
packets in a communication network, routing traffic in a road network, or processing
a task in a production system, the traversal of the network involves an inherent
delay, and so sharing and congestion of resources crucially depends on time. We
study timed network games , which add a time component to network games. Each
vertex v in the network is associated with a cost function, mapping the load on
v to the price that a player pays for staying in v for one time unit with this
load. In addition, each edge has a guard, describing time intervals in which the
edge can be traversed, forcing the players to spend time on vertices. Unlike earlier
work that add a time component to network games, the time in our model is continuous
and cannot be discretized. In particular, players have uncountably many strategies,
and a game may have uncountably many pure Nash equilibria. We study properties
of timed network games with cost-sharing or congestion cost functions: their stability,
equilibrium inefficiency, and complexity. In particular, we show that the answer
to the question whether we can restrict attention to boundary strategies, namely
ones in which edges are traversed only at the boundaries of guards, is mixed. '

text: 'Recently there has been a proliferation of automated program repair (APR)
techniques, targeting various programming languages. Such techniques can be generally
classified into two families: syntactic- and semantics-based. Semantics-based
APR, on which we focus, typically uses symbolic execution to infer semantic constraints
and then program synthesis to construct repairs conforming to them. While syntactic-based
APR techniques have been shown successful on bugs in real-world programs written
in both C and Java, semantics-based APR techniques mostly target C programs. This
leaves empirical comparisons of the APR families not fully explored, and developers
without a Java-based semantics APR technique. We present JFix, a semantics-based
APR framework that targets Java, and an associated Eclipse plugin. JFix is implemented
atop Symbolic PathFinder, a well-known symbolic execution engine for Java programs.
It extends one particular APR technique (Angelix), and is designed to be sufficiently
generic to support a variety of such techniques. We demonstrate that semantics-based
APR can indeed efficiently and effectively repair a variety of classes of bugs
in large real-world Java programs. This supports our claim that the framework
can both support developers seeking semantics-based repair of bugs in Java programs,
as well as enable larger scale empirical studies comparing syntactic- and semantics-based
APR targeting Java. The demonstration of our tool is available via the project
website at: https://xuanbachle.github.io/semanticsrepair/ '

text: "Two-player games on graphs are widely studied in formal methods as they model
the interaction between a system and its environment. 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. Both players have separate budgets, which
sum up to $1$. In each turn, a bidding takes place. Both players submit bids simultaneously,
and a bid is legal if it does not exceed the available budget. The winner of the
bidding pays his bid to the other player and moves the token. For reachability
objectives, repeated bidding games have been studied and are called Richman games.
There, a central question is the existence and computation of threshold budgets;
namely, a value t\\in [0,1] such that if\\PO's budget exceeds $t$, he can win
the game, and if\\PT's budget exceeds 1-t, he can win the game. We focus on parity
games and mean-payoff games. We show the existence of threshold budgets in these
games, and reduce the problem of finding them to Richman games. We also determine
the strategy-complexity of an optimal strategy. Our most interesting result shows
that memoryless strategies suffice for mean-payoff bidding games. \r\n"

text: This dissertation concerns the automatic verification of probabilistic systems
and programs with arrays by statistical and logical methods. Although statistical
and logical methods are different in nature, we show that they can be successfully
combined for system analysis. In the first part of the dissertation we present
a new statistical algorithm for the verification of probabilistic systems with
respect to unbounded properties, including linear temporal logic. Our algorithm
often performs faster than the previous approaches, and at the same time requires
less information about the system. In addition, our method can be generalized
to unbounded quantitative properties such as mean-payoff bounds. In the second
part, we introduce two techniques for comparing probabilistic systems. Probabilistic
systems are typically compared using the notion of equivalence, which requires
the systems to have the equal probability of all behaviors. However, this notion
is often too strict, since probabilities are typically only empirically estimated,
and any imprecision may break the relation between processes. On the one hand,
we propose to replace the Boolean notion of equivalence by a quantitative distance
of similarity. For this purpose, we introduce a statistical framework for estimating
distances between Markov chains based on their simulation runs, and we investigate
which distances can be approximated in our framework. On the other hand, we propose
to compare systems with respect to a new qualitative logic, which expresses that
behaviors occur with probability one or a positive probability. This qualitative
analysis is robust with respect to modeling errors and applicable to many domains.
In the last part, we present a new quantifier-free logic for integer arrays, which
allows us to express counting. Counting properties are prevalent in array-manipulating
programs, however they cannot be expressed in the quantified fragments of the
theory of arrays. We present a decision procedure for our logic, and provide several
complexity results.

text: Despite researchers’ efforts in the last couple of decades, reachability analysis
is still a challenging problem even for linear hybrid systems. Among the existing
approaches, the most practical ones are mainly based on bounded-time reachable
set over-approximations. For the purpose of unbounded-time analysis, one important
strategy is to abstract the original system and find an invariant for the abstraction.
In this paper, we propose an approach to constructing a new kind of abstraction
called conic abstraction for affine hybrid systems, and to computing reachable
sets based on this abstraction. The essential feature of a conic abstraction is
that it partitions the state space of a system into a set of convex polyhedral
cones which is derived from a uniform conic partition of the derivative space.
Such a set of polyhedral cones is able to cut all trajectories of the system into
almost straight segments so that every segment of a reach pipe in a polyhedral
cone tends to be straight as well, and hence can be over-approximated tightly
by polyhedra using similar techniques as HyTech or PHAVer. In particular, for
diagonalizable affine systems, our approach can guarantee to find an invariant
for unbounded reachable sets, which is beyond the capability of bounded-time reachability
analysis tools. We implemented the approach in a tool and experiments on benchmarks
show that our approach is more powerful than SpaceEx and PHAVer in dealing with
diagonalizable systems.

text: Template polyhedra generalize intervals and octagons to polyhedra whose facets
are orthogonal to a given set of arbitrary directions. They have been employed
in the abstract interpretation of programs and, with particular success, in the
reachability analysis of hybrid automata. While previously, the choice of directions
has been left to the user or a heuristic, we present a method for the automatic
discovery of directions that generalize and eliminate spurious counterexamples.
We show that for the class of convex hybrid automata, i.e., hybrid automata with
(possibly nonlinear) convex constraints on derivatives, such directions always
exist and can be found using convex optimization. We embed our method inside a
CEGAR loop, thus enabling the time-unbounded reachability analysis of an important
and richer class of hybrid automata than was previously possible. We evaluate
our method on several benchmarks, demonstrating also its superior efficiency for
the special case of linear hybrid automata.

text: We consider the problem of computing the set of initial states of a dynamical
system such that there exists a control strategy to ensure that the trajectories
satisfy a temporal logic specification with probability 1 (almost-surely). We
focus on discrete-time, stochastic linear dynamics and specifications given as
formulas of the Generalized Reactivity(1) fragment of Linear Temporal Logic over
linear predicates in the states of the system. We propose a solution based on
iterative abstraction-refinement, and turn-based 2-player probabilistic games.
While the theoretical guarantee of our algorithm after any finite number of iterations
is only a partial solution, we show that if our algorithm terminates, then the
result is the set of all satisfying initial states. Moreover, for any (partial)
solution our algorithm synthesizes witness control strategies to ensure almost-sure
satisfaction of the temporal logic specification. While the proposed algorithm
guarantees progress and soundness in every iteration, it is computationally demanding.
We offer an alternative, more efficient solution for the reachability properties
that decomposes the problem into a series of smaller problems of the same type.
All algorithms are demonstrated on an illustrative case study.

abstract:
- lang: eng
text: We present a computer-aided programming approach to concurrency. The approach
allows programmers to program assuming a friendly, non-preemptive scheduler, and
our synthesis procedure inserts synchronization to ensure that the final program
works even with a preemptive scheduler. The correctness specification is implicit,
inferred from the non-preemptive behavior. Let us consider sequences of calls
that the program makes to an external interface. The specification requires that
any such sequence produced under a preemptive scheduler should be included in
the set of sequences produced under a non-preemptive scheduler. We guarantee that
our synthesis does not introduce deadlocks and that the synchronization inserted
is optimal w.r.t. a given objective function. The solution is based on a finitary
abstraction, an algorithm for bounded language inclusion modulo an independence
relation, and generation of a set of global constraints over synchronization placements.
Each model of the global constraints set corresponds to a correctness-ensuring
synchronization placement. The placement that is optimal w.r.t. the given objective
function is chosen as the synchronization solution. We apply the approach to device-driver
programming, where the driver threads call the software interface of the device
and the API provided by the operating system. Our experiments demonstrate that
our synthesis method is precise and efficient. The implicit specification helped
us find one concurrency bug previously missed when model-checking using an explicit,
user-provided specification. We implemented objective functions for coarse-grained
and fine-grained locking and observed that different synchronization placements
are produced for our experiments, favoring a minimal number of synchronization
operations or maximum concurrency, respectively.
