--- _id: '663' abstract: - lang: eng 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.

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. alternative_title: - LIPIcs article_number: '5' author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Jan full_name: Otop, Jan last_name: Otop citation: ama: 'Chatterjee K, Henzinger TA, Otop J.

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.

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 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" alternative_title: - LIPIcs article_number: '17' author: - first_name: Guy full_name: Avni, Guy id: 463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Avni orcid: 0000-0001-5588-8287 - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Ventsislav K full_name: Chonev, Ventsislav K id: 36CBE2E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chonev citation: ama: 'Avni G, Henzinger TA, Chonev VK.

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. acknowledgement: ' First of all, I want to thank my advisor, prof. Thomas A.

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. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Mirco full_name: Giacobbe, Mirco id: 3444EA5E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Giacobbe orcid: 0000-0001-8180-0904 - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Hui full_name: Kong, Hui id: 3BDE25AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kong orcid: 0000-0002-3066-6941 citation: ama: 'Bogomolov S, Giacobbe M, Henzinger TA, Kong H.

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. acknowledgement: This research was supported in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grants S11402-N23 (RiSE/SHiNE) and Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award), by the European Commission under grant 643921 (UnCoVerCPS), and by the ARC project DP140104219 (Robust AI Planning for Hybrid Systems). alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Goran full_name: Frehse, Goran last_name: Frehse - first_name: Mirco full_name: Giacobbe, Mirco id: 3444EA5E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Giacobbe orcid: 0000-0001-8180-0904 - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 citation: ama: 'Bogomolov S, Frehse G, Giacobbe M, Henzinger TA.

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. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Mária full_name: Svoreňová, Mária last_name: Svoreňová - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 - first_name: Martin full_name: Chmelik, Martin id: 3624234E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chmelik - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Ivana full_name: Cěrná, Ivana last_name: Cěrná - first_name: Cǎlin full_name: Belta, Cǎlin last_name: Belta citation: ama: 'Svoreňová M, Kretinsky J, Chmelik M, Chatterjee K, Cěrná I, Belta C.

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. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Pavol full_name: Cerny, Pavol id: 4DCBEFFE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Cerny - first_name: Edmund full_name: Clarke, Edmund last_name: Clarke - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Arjun full_name: Radhakrishna, Arjun id: 3B51CAC4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Radhakrishna - first_name: Leonid full_name: Ryzhyk, Leonid last_name: Ryzhyk - first_name: Roopsha full_name: Samanta, Roopsha id: 3D2AAC08-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Samanta - first_name: Thorsten full_name: Tarrach, Thorsten id: 3D6E8F2C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tarrach orcid: 0000-0003-4409-8487 citation: ama: Cerny P, Clarke E, Henzinger TA, et al.

In this paper, we demonstrate that we can replace this approach by a formal verification-like method that gives higher assurance and scalability. We focus on Wagner’s weighted GRN model with varying weights, which is used in evolutionary biology. In the model, weight parameters represent the gene interaction strength that may change due to genetic mutations. For a property of interest, we synthesise the constraints over the parameter space that represent the set of GRNs satisfying the property. We experimentally show that our parameter synthesis procedure computes the mutational robustness of GRNs—an important problem of interest in evolutionary biology—more efficiently than the classical simulation method. We specify the property in linear temporal logic. We employ symbolic bounded model checking and SMT solving to compute the space of GRNs that satisfy the property, which amounts to synthesizing a set of linear constraints on the weights. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Mirco full_name: Giacobbe, Mirco id: 3444EA5E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Giacobbe orcid: 0000-0001-8180-0904 - first_name: Calin C full_name: Guet, Calin C id: 47F8433E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Guet orcid: 0000-0001-6220-2052 - first_name: Ashutosh full_name: Gupta, Ashutosh id: 335E5684-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Gupta - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Tiago full_name: Paixao, Tiago id: 2C5658E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Paixao orcid: 0000-0003-2361-3953 - first_name: Tatjana full_name: Petrov, Tatjana id: 3D5811FC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Petrov orcid: 0000-0002-9041-0905 citation: ama: Giacobbe M, Guet CC, Gupta A, Henzinger TA, Paixao T, Petrov T.

M and specification . ϕ, what is the maximal distance . ρ such that all models . M'' within distance . ρ from . M satisfy (or violate) . ϕ. The model-measuring problem presupposes a distance function on models. We concentrate on . automatic distance functions, which are defined by weighted automata. The model-measuring problem subsumes several generalizations of the classical model-checking problem, in particular, quantitative model-checking problems that measure the degree of satisfaction of a specification; robustness problems that measure how much a model can be perturbed without violating the specification; and parameter synthesis for hybrid systems. We show that for automatic distance functions, and (a) . ω-regular linear-time, (b) . ω-regular branching-time, and (c) hybrid specifications, the model-measuring problem can be solved.We use automata-theoretic model-checking methods for model measuring, replacing the emptiness question for word, tree, and hybrid automata by the . optimal-value question for the weighted versions of these automata. For automata over words and trees, we consider weighted automata that accumulate weights by maximizing, summing, discounting, and limit averaging. For hybrid automata, we consider monotonic (parametric) hybrid automata, a hybrid counterpart of (discrete) weighted automata.We give several examples of using the model-measuring problem to compute various notions of robustness and quantitative satisfaction for temporal specifications. Further, we propose the modeling framework for model measuring to ease the specification and reduce the likelihood of errors in modeling.Finally, we present a variant of the model-measuring problem, called the . model-repair problem. The model-repair problem applies to models that do not satisfy the specification; it can be used to derive restrictions, under which the model satisfies the specification, i.e., to repair the model.' acknowledgement: "This research was supported in part by the European Research Council (ERC) under grant 267989 (QUAREM), by the Austrian Science Fund1 (FWF) under grants S11402-N23 (RiSE) and Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award), and by the National Science Centre (NCN), Poland under grant 2014/15/D/ST6/04543.\r\nA Technical Report of this article is available via: https://repository.ist.ac.at/171/" article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Jan full_name: Otop, Jan id: 2FC5DA74-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Otop citation: ama: 'Henzinger TA, Otop J.

Due to the criticality of the applications running over them, developers need to ensure that end-to-end communication is dependable and predictable. Traditional approaches assume static networks that are not flexible to changes caused by reconfigurations or, more importantly, faults, which are dealt with in the application using redundancy. We adopt the concept of handling faults in the switches from non-real-time networks while maintaining the required predictability. \r\n\r\nWe study a class of forwarding schemes that can handle various types of failures.

For a given network with a forwarding scheme and a constant ℓ, we compute the {\\em score} of the scheme, namely the probability (induced by faults) that at least ℓ messages arrive on time. We reduce the scoring problem to a reachability problem on a Markov chain with a "product-like" structure. Its special structure allows us to reason about it symbolically, and reduce the scoring problem to #SAT. Our solution is generic and can be adapted to different networks and other contexts. Also, we show the computational complexity of the scoring problem is #P-complete, and we study methods to estimate the score. We evaluate the effectiveness of our techniques with an implementation.

Simulation has also been extended in two orthogonal directions, namely, (1) fair simulation, for simulation over specified set of infinite runs; and (2) quantitative simulation, for simulation between weighted automata. While fair trace inclusion is PSPACE-complete, fair simulation can be computed in polynomial time. For weighted automata, the (quantitative) language inclusion problem is undecidable in general, whereas the (quantitative) simulation reduces to quantitative games, which admit pseudo-polynomial time algorithms.\r\n\r\nIn this work, we study (quantitative) simulation for weighted automata with Büchi acceptance conditions, i.e., we generalize fair simulation from non-weighted automata to weighted automata. We show that imposing Büchi acceptance conditions on weighted automata changes many fundamental properties of the simulation games, yet they still admit pseudo-polynomial time algorithms." article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Jan full_name: Otop, Jan id: 2FC5DA74-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Otop - first_name: Yaron full_name: Velner, Yaron last_name: Velner citation: ama: Chatterjee K, Henzinger TA, Otop J, Velner Y.

Yet RSMs are more convenient as they (a) explicitly model function calls and returns, and (b) specify many natural parameters for algorithmic analysis, e.g., the number of entries and exits. We consider a general framework where RSM transitions are labeled from a semiring and path properties are algebraic with semiring operations, which can model, e.g., interprocedural reachability and dataflow analysis problems. Our main contributions are new algorithms for several fundamental problems. As compared to a direct translation of RSMs to PDSs and the best-known existing bounds of PDSs, our analysis algorithm improves the complexity for finite-height semirings (that subsumes reachability and standard dataflow properties). We further consider the problem of extracting distance values from the representation structures computed by our algorithm, and give efficient algorithms that distinguish the complexity of a one-time preprocessing from the complexity of each individual query. Another advantage of our algorithm is that our improvements carry over to the concurrent setting, where we improve the bestknown complexity for the context-bounded analysis of concurrent RSMs. Finally, we provide a prototype implementation that gives a significant speed-up on several benchmarks from the SLAM/SDV project. alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Kragl, Bernhard id: 320FC952-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kragl orcid: 0000-0001-7745-9117 - first_name: Samarth full_name: Mishra, Samarth last_name: Mishra - first_name: Andreas full_name: Pavlogiannis, Andreas id: 49704004-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Pavlogiannis orcid: 0000-0002-8943-0722 citation: ama: 'Chatterjee K, Kragl B, Mishra S, Pavlogiannis A.

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 overapproximation defined on top of this smaller state space. When the approximations are too coarse to find such profiles, we refine the abstraction function. Our experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the methodology. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Guy full_name: Avni, Guy id: 463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Avni orcid: 0000-0001-5588-8287 - first_name: Shibashis full_name: Guha, Shibashis last_name: Guha - first_name: Orna full_name: Kupferman, Orna last_name: Kupferman citation: ama: 'Avni G, Guha S, Kupferman O.

In addition to the classic operation of concatenation, our class includes some recursively defined operations such as Kleene closure, and replacement of substrings. Additionally, our class also includes length constraints on the string expressions, which means, by requiring reasoning about numbers, that we face a multi-sorted logic. In the end, our string constraints are motivated by their use in programming for web applications. Our algorithm comprises two novel features: the ability to use a technique of (1) partial derivatives for constraints that are already in a solved form, i.e. a form where its (string) satisfiability is clearly displayed, and (2) non-progression, where cyclic reasoning in the reduction process may be terminated (thus allowing for the algorithm to look elsewhere). Finally, we experimentally compare our model counter with two recent works on model counting of similar constraints, SMC [18] and ABC [5], to demonstrate its superior performance.' alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Minh full_name: Trinh, Minh last_name: Trinh - first_name: Duc Hiep full_name: Chu, Duc Hiep id: 3598E630-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chu - first_name: Joxan full_name: Jaffar, Joxan last_name: Jaffar citation: ama: 'Trinh M, Chu DH, Jaffar J.

Such techniques, e.g., Angelix, infer semantic specifications via symbolic execution, and then use program synthesis to construct new code that satisfies those inferred specifications. However, the obtained specifications are naturally incomplete, leaving the synthesis engine with a difficult task of synthesizing a general solution from a sparse space of many possible solutions that are consistent with the provided specifications but that do not necessarily generalize. We present S3, a new repair synthesis engine that leverages programming-by-examples methodology to synthesize high-quality bug repairs. The novelty in S3 that allows it to tackle the sparse search space to create more general repairs is three-fold: (1) A systematic way to customize and constrain the syntactic search space via a domain-specific language, (2) An efficient enumeration-based search strategy over the constrained search space, and (3) A number of ranking features based on measures of the syntactic and semantic distances between candidate solutions and the original buggy program. We compare S3’s repair effectiveness with state-of-the-art synthesis engines Angelix, Enumerative, and CVC4. S3 can successfully and correctly fix at least three times more bugs than the best baseline on datasets of 52 bugs in small programs, and 100 bugs in real-world large programs.

Causality-based model checking is a radically different approach that instead analyzes the cause-effect relationships in a program. We give an overview on a new class of model checking algorithms that capture the causal relationships in a special data structure called concurrent traces. Concurrent traces identify key events in an execution history and link them through their cause-effect relationships. The model checker builds a tableau of concurrent traces, where the case splits represent different causal explanations of a hypothetical error. Causality-based model checking has been implemented in the ARCTOR tool, and applied to previously intractable multi-threaded benchmarks. alternative_title: - EPTCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Bernd full_name: Finkbeiner, Bernd last_name: Finkbeiner - first_name: Andrey full_name: Kupriyanov, Andrey id: 2C311BF8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kupriyanov citation: ama: 'Finkbeiner B, Kupriyanov A.

Nested weighted automata extend weighted automata and consist of a master automaton and a set of slave automata that are invoked by the master automaton. Nested weighted automata are strictly more expressive than weighted automata (e.g., average response time can be expressed with nested weighted automata), but the basic decision questions have higher complexity (e.g., for deterministic automata, the emptiness question for nested weighted automata is PSPACE-hard, whereas the corresponding complexity for weighted automata is PTIME). We consider a natural subclass of nested weighted automata where at any point at most a bounded number k of slave automata can be active. We focus on automata whose master value function is the limit average. We show that these nested weighted automata with bounded width are strictly more expressive than weighted automata (e.g., average response time with no overlapping requests can be expressed with bound k=1, but not with non-nested weighted automata). We show that the complexity of the basic decision problems (i.e., emptiness and universality) for the subclass with k constant matches the complexity for weighted automata. Moreover, when k is part of the input given in unary we establish PSPACE-completeness.' acknowledgement: "This research was supported in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grants S11402-N23\r\n(RiSE/SHiNE) and Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award), ERC Start grant (279307: Graph Games), Vienna\r\nScience and Technology Fund (WWTF) through project ICT15-003 and by the National Science Centre\r\n(NCN), Poland under grant 2014/15/D/ST6/04543." alternative_title: - LIPIcs article_number: '24' author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Jan full_name: Otop, Jan id: 2FC5DA74-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Otop citation: ama: 'Chatterjee K, Henzinger TA, Otop J.

Linearizability is the most popular consistency condition due to its simplicity and general applicability. Nevertheless, for applications that do not require all guarantees offered by linearizability, recent research has focused on improving performance and scalability of concurrent data structures by relaxing their semantics. In this paper, we present local linearizability, a relaxed consistency condition that is applicable to container-type concurrent data structures like pools, queues, and stacks. While linearizability requires that the effect of each operation is observed by all threads at the same time, local linearizability only requires that for each thread T, the effects of its local insertion operations and the effects of those removal operations that remove values inserted by T are observed by all threads at the same time. We investigate theoretical and practical properties of local linearizability and its relationship to many existing consistency conditions. We present a generic implementation method for locally linearizable data structures that uses existing linearizable data structures as building blocks. Our implementations show performance and scalability improvements over the original building blocks and outperform the fastest existing container-type implementations.

The first uses the parallel, breadth-first-search algorithm (PBFS) of the SPIN model checker, when traversing the discrete modes of the HA, and enhances it with a parallel exploration of the continuous states within each mode. We show that this simple-minded extension of PBFS does not provide the desired load balancing in many HA benchmarks. The second algorithm is a task-parallel BFS algorithm (TP-BFS), which uses a cheap precomputation of the cost associated with the post operations (both continuous and discrete) in order to improve load balancing. We illustrate the TP-BFS and the cost precomputation of the post operators on a support-function-based algorithm for state-space exploration. The performance comparison of the two algorithms shows that, in general, TP-BFS provides a better utilization/load-balancing of the CPU. Both algorithms are implemented in the model checker XSpeed. Our experiments show a maximum speed-up of more than 2000 χ on a navigation benchmark, with respect to SpaceEx LGG scenario. In order to make the comparison fair, we employed an equal number of post operations in both tools. To the best of our knowledge, this paper represents the first attempt to provide parallel, reachability-analysis algorithms for HA. acknowledgement: This work was supported in part by DST-SERB, GoI under Project No. YSS/2014/000623 and by the European Research Council (ERC) under grant 267989 (QUAREM) and by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grants S11402-N23, S11405-N23 and S11412-N23 (RiSE/SHiNE) and Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award). article_number: '7797741' author: - first_name: Amit full_name: Gurung, Amit last_name: Gurung - first_name: Arup full_name: Deka, Arup last_name: Deka - first_name: Ezio full_name: Bartocci, Ezio last_name: Bartocci - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Radu full_name: Grosu, Radu last_name: Grosu - first_name: Rajarshi full_name: Ray, Rajarshi last_name: Ray citation: ama: 'Gurung A, Deka A, Bartocci E, Bogomolov S, Grosu R, Ray R.

These networks rely on the notion of globally discretized time (i.e. time slots) and a static TT schedule that prescribes which message is sent through which link at every time slot, such that all messages reach their destination before a global timeout. These schedules are generated offline, assuming a static network with fault-free links, and entrusting all error-handling functions to the end user. Assuming the network is static is an over-optimistic view, and indeed links tend to fail in practice. We study synthesis of TT schedules on a network in which links fail over time and we assume the switches run a very simple error-recovery protocol once they detect a crashed link. We address the problem of finding a pk; qresistant schedule; namely, one that, assuming the switches run a fixed error-recovery protocol, guarantees that the number of messages that arrive at their destination by the timeout is at least no matter what sequence of at most k links fail. Thus, we maintain the simplicity of the switches while giving a guarantee on the number of messages that meet the timeout. We show how a pk; q-resistant schedule can be obtained using a CEGAR-like approach: find a schedule, decide whether it is pk; q-resistant, and if it is not, use the witnessing fault sequence to generate a constraint that is added to the program. The newly added constraint disallows the schedule to be regenerated in a future iteration while also eliminating several other schedules that are not pk; q-resistant. We illustrate the applicability of our approach using an SMT-based implementation. © 2016 ACM.' article_number: '26' author: - first_name: Guy full_name: Avni, Guy id: 463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Avni orcid: 0000-0001-5588-8287 - first_name: Shibashis full_name: Guha, Shibashis last_name: Guha - first_name: Guillermo full_name: Rodríguez Navas, Guillermo last_name: Rodríguez Navas citation: ama: 'Avni G, Guha S, Rodríguez Navas G.

Recently, numerous powerful and scalable tools for analyzing hybrid systems have emerged. Several of these tools implement automated formal methods for mathematically proving a system meets a specification. This tutorial session will present three recent hybrid systems tools: C2E2, HyST, and TuLiP. C2E2 is a simulated-based verification tool for hybrid systems, and uses validated numerical solvers and bloating of simulation traces to verify systems meet specifications. HyST is a hybrid systems model transformation and translation tool, and uses a canonical intermediate representation to support most of the recent verification tools, as well as automated sound abstractions that simplify verification of a given hybrid system. TuLiP is a controller synthesis tool for hybrid systems, where given a temporal logic specification to be satisfied for a system (plant) model, TuLiP will find a controller that meets a given specification. © 2016 IEEE.' article_number: '7587948' author: - first_name: Parasara full_name: Duggirala, Parasara last_name: Duggirala - first_name: Chuchu full_name: Fan, Chuchu last_name: Fan - first_name: Matthew full_name: Potok, Matthew last_name: Potok - first_name: Bolun full_name: Qi, Bolun last_name: Qi - first_name: Sayan full_name: Mitra, Sayan last_name: Mitra - first_name: Mahesh full_name: Viswanathan, Mahesh last_name: Viswanathan - first_name: Stanley full_name: Bak, Stanley last_name: Bak - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Taylor full_name: Johnson, Taylor last_name: Johnson - first_name: Luan full_name: Nguyen, Luan last_name: Nguyen - first_name: Christian full_name: Schilling, Christian id: 3A2F4DCE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schilling orcid: 0000-0003-3658-1065 - first_name: Andrew full_name: Sogokon, Andrew last_name: Sogokon - first_name: Hoang full_name: Tran, Hoang last_name: Tran - first_name: Weiming full_name: Xiang, Weiming last_name: Xiang citation: ama: 'Duggirala P, Fan C, Potok M, et al.

For a well-studied and wide class of quantitative functions, we establish that automata with monitor counters and nested weighted automata are equivalent. We study for the first time such quantitative automata under probabilistic semantics. We show that several problems that are undecidable for the classical questions of emptiness and universality become decidable under the probabilistic semantics.

Due to the nonlinearity of multiaffine systems, it is difficult to verify their properties of interest directly. A common strategy to tackle this problem is to construct and analyze a discrete overapproximation of the original system. However, the conservativeness of a discrete abstraction significantly determines the level of confidence we can have in the properties of the original system. In this paper, in order to reduce the conservativeness of a discrete abstraction, we propose a new method based on a sufficient and necessary decision condition for computing discrete transitions between states in the abstract system. We assume the state space partition of a multiaffine system to be based on a set of multivariate polynomials. Hence, a rectangular partition defined in terms of polynomials of the form (xi − c) is just a simple case of multivariate polynomial partition, and the new decision condition applies naturally. We analyze and demonstrate the improvement of our method over the existing methods using some examples. acknowledgement: This research was supported in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grants S11402-N23, S11405-N23 and S11412-N23 (RiSE/SHiNE) and Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award). alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Hui full_name: Kong, Hui id: 3BDE25AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kong orcid: 0000-0002-3066-6941 - first_name: Ezio full_name: Bartocci, Ezio last_name: Bartocci - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Radu full_name: Grosu, Radu last_name: Grosu - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Yu full_name: Jiang, Yu last_name: Jiang - first_name: Christian full_name: Schilling, Christian id: 3A2F4DCE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schilling orcid: 0000-0003-3658-1065 citation: ama: 'Kong H, Bartocci E, Bogomolov S, et al.

Typically, the Simulink based development is initiated from Stateflow modeling, followed by simulation, validation and code generation mapped to physical execution platforms. However, recent industrial trends have raised the demands of rigorous verification on safety-critical applications, which is unfortunately challenging for Simulink. In this paper, we present an approach to bridge the Stateflow based model driven development and a well- defined rigorous verification. First, we develop a self- contained toolkit to translate Stateflow model into timed automata, where major advanced modeling features in Stateflow are supported. Taking advantage of the strong verification capability of Uppaal, we can not only find bugs in Stateflow models which are missed by Simulink Design Verifier, but also check more important temporal properties. Next, we customize a runtime verifier for the generated nonintrusive VHDL and C code of Stateflow model for monitoring. The major strength of the customization is the flexibility to collect and analyze runtime properties with a pure software monitor, which opens more opportunities for engineers to achieve high reliability of the target system compared with the traditional act that only relies on Simulink Polyspace. We incorporate these two parts into original Stateflow based MDD seamlessly. In this way, safety-critical properties are both verified at the model level, and at the consistent system implementation level with physical execution environment in consideration. We apply our approach on a train controller design, and the verified implementation is tested and deployed on a real hardware platform. acknowledgement: This work is supported in part by NSF CNS 13-30077, NSF CNS 13-29886, NSF CNS 15-45002, NSFC 61303014, NSFC 61202010, and NSFC 91218302. article_number: '7461337' author: - first_name: Yu full_name: Jiang, Yu last_name: Jiang - first_name: Yixiao full_name: Yang, Yixiao last_name: Yang - first_name: Han full_name: Liu, Han last_name: Liu - first_name: Hui full_name: Kong, Hui id: 3BDE25AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kong orcid: 0000-0002-3066-6941 - first_name: Ming full_name: Gu, Ming last_name: Gu - first_name: Jiaguang full_name: Sun, Jiaguang last_name: Sun - first_name: Lui full_name: Sha, Lui last_name: Sha citation: ama: 'Jiang Y, Yang Y, Liu H, et al.

We start with finite-state Boolean automata that express the traditional regular properties. We then consider weighted ω-automata that can measure the average density of events, which finite-state Boolean automata cannot. However, even weighted ω-automata cannot express basic performance properties like average response time. We finally consider two formalisms of weighted ω-automata with monitors, where the monitors are either (a) counters or (b) weighted automata themselves. We present a translation result to establish that these two formalisms are equivalent. Weighted ω-automata with monitors generalize weighted ω-automata, and can express average response time property. They present a natural, robust, and expressive framework for quantitative specifications, with important decidable properties. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Jan full_name: Otop, Jan id: 2FC5DA74-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Otop citation: ama: 'Chatterjee K, Henzinger TA, Otop J.

Existing program repair techniques typically aim to find any program that meets the given specification. Such “best-effort” strategies can end up generating a program that is quite different from the original one. Novel techniques have been proposed to compute syntactically minimal program fixes, but the smallest syntactic fix to a program can still significantly alter the original program’s behaviour. We propose a new approach to program repair based on program distances, which can quantify changes not only to the program syntax but also to the program semantics. We call this the quantitative program repair problem where the “optimal” repair is derived using multiple distances. We implement a solution to the quantitative repair\r\nproblem in a prototype tool called Qlose\r\n(Quantitatively close), using the program synthesizer Sketch. We evaluate the effectiveness of different distances in obtaining desirable repairs by evaluating\r\nQlose on programs taken from educational tools such as CodeHunt and edX." alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Loris full_name: D'Antoni, Loris last_name: D'Antoni - first_name: Roopsha full_name: Samanta, Roopsha id: 3D2AAC08-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Samanta - first_name: Rishabh full_name: Singh, Rishabh last_name: Singh citation: ama: 'D’Antoni L, Samanta R, Singh R.

Complex dynamics are converted to simpler ones with added noise, and then analysis is done using a reachability method for the simpler dynamics. Several such recent approaches advocate that only "dynamic" hybridization techniquesi.e., those where the dynamics are abstracted on-The-fly during a reachability computation are effective. In this paper, we demonstrate this is not the case, and create static hybridization methods that are more scalable than earlier approaches. The main insight in our approach is that quick, numeric simulations can be used to guide the process, eliminating the need for an exponential number of hybridization domains. Transitions between domains are generally timetriggered, avoiding accumulated error from geometric intersections. We enhance our static technique by combining time-Triggered transitions with occasional space-Triggered transitions, and demonstrate the benefits of the combined approach in what we call mixed-Triggered hybridization. Finally, error modes are inserted to confirm that the reachable states stay within the hybridized regions. The developed techniques can scale to higher dimensions than previous static approaches, while enabling the parallelization of the main performance bottleneck for many dynamic hybridization approaches: The nonlinear optimization required for sound dynamics abstraction. We implement our method as a model transformation pass in the HYST tool, and perform reachability analysis and evaluation using an unmodified version of SpaceEx on nonlinear models with up to six dimensions.' author: - first_name: Stanley full_name: Bak, Stanley last_name: Bak - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Taylor full_name: Johnson, Taylor last_name: Johnson - first_name: Pradyot full_name: Prakash, Pradyot last_name: Prakash citation: ama: 'Bak S, Bogomolov S, Henzinger TA, Johnson T, Prakash P.

These algorithms are notoriously difficult to implement correctly, due to asynchronous communication and the occurrence of faults, such as the network dropping messages or computers crashing. We introduce PSYNC, a domain specific language based on the Heard-Of model, which views asynchronous faulty systems as synchronous ones with an adversarial environment that simulates asynchrony and faults by dropping messages. We define a runtime system for PSYNC that efficiently executes on asynchronous networks. We formalize the relation between the runtime system and PSYNC in terms of observational refinement. The high-level lockstep abstraction introduced by PSYNC simplifies the design and implementation of fault-tolerant distributed algorithms and enables automated formal verification. We have implemented an embedding of PSYNC in the SCALA programming language with a runtime system for asynchronous networks. We show the applicability of PSYNC by implementing several important fault-tolerant distributed algorithms and we compare the implementation of consensus algorithms in PSYNC against implementations in other languages in terms of code size, runtime efficiency, and verification. acknowledgement: 'Damien Zufferey was supported by DARPA (Grants FA8650-11-C-7192 and FA8650-15-C-7564) and NSF (Grant CCF-1138967).

However, when designing experiments, it is important to be precise about the low-level mechanistic details as to how each such relation is implemented. The rule-based modelling language Kappa allows to unambiguously specify mechanistic details such as DNA binding sites, dimerisation of transcription factors, or co-operative interactions. Such a detailed description comes with complexity and computationally costly executions. We propose a general method for automatically transforming a rule-based program, by eliminating intermediate species and adjusting the rate constants accordingly. To the best of our knowledge, we show the first automated reduction of rule-based models based on equilibrium approximations.\r\nOur algorithm is an adaptation of an existing algorithm, which was designed for reducing reaction-based programs; our version of the algorithm scans the rule-based Kappa model in search for those interaction patterns known to be amenable to equilibrium approximations (e.g. Michaelis-Menten scheme). Additional checks are then performed in order to verify if the reduction is meaningful in the context of the full model. The reduced model is efficiently obtained by static inspection over the rule-set. The tool is tested on a detailed rule-based model of a λ-phage switch, which lists 92 rules and 13 agents. The reduced model has 11 rules and 5 agents, and provides a dramatic reduction in simulation time of several orders of magnitude." acknowledgement: This research was supported by the People Programme (Marie Curie Actions) of the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under REA grant agreement no. 291734, and the SNSF Early Postdoc.Mobility Fellowship, the grant number P2EZP2_148797. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Andreea full_name: Beica, Andreea last_name: Beica - first_name: Calin C full_name: Guet, Calin C id: 47F8433E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Guet orcid: 0000-0001-6220-2052 - first_name: Tatjana full_name: Petrov, Tatjana id: 3D5811FC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Petrov orcid: 0000-0002-9041-0905 citation: ama: 'Beica A, Guet CC, Petrov T.

We quantify input and output perturbation using similarity functions over timed words such as the timed version of the Manhattan distance and the Skorokhod distance. We consider two models of timed I/O systems — timed transducers and asynchronous sequential circuits. We show that K-robustness of timed transducers can be decided in polynomial space under certain conditions.

When such models are employed to answer questions in applications, in order to ensure that the model provides a sufficiently accurate representation of the real system, it is of vital importance that the model parameters are inferred from real measured data. This, however, is often a formidable task and all of the existing methods fail in one case or the other, usually because the underlying CTMC model is high-dimensional and computationally difficult to analyze. The parameter inference methods that tend to scale best in the dimension of the CTMC are based on so-called moment closure approximations. However, there exists a large number of different moment closure approximations and it is typically hard to say a priori which of the approximations is the most suitable for the inference procedure. Here, we propose a moment-based parameter inference method that automatically chooses the most appropriate moment closure method. Accordingly, contrary to existing methods, the user is not required to be experienced in moment closure techniques. In addition to that, our method adaptively changes the approximation during the parameter inference to ensure that always the best approximation is used, even in cases where different approximations are best in different regions of the parameter space. © 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd acknowledgement: This work is based on the CMSB 2015 paper “Adaptive moment closure for parameter inference of biochemical reaction networks” (Bogomolov et al., 2015).

A verification tool like SpaceEx is based on the exploration of a symbolic search space (the region space). As a verification tool, it is typically optimized towards proving the absence of errors. In some settings, e.g., when the verification tool is employed in a feedback-directed design cycle, one would like to have the option to call a version that is optimized towards finding an error trajectory in the region space. A recent approach in this direction is based on guided search. Guided search relies on a cost function that indicates which states are promising to be explored, and preferably explores more promising states first. In this paper, we propose an abstraction-based cost function based on coarse-grained space abstractions for guiding the reachability analysis. For this purpose, a suitable abstraction technique that exploits the flexible granularity of modern reachability analysis algorithms is introduced. The new cost function is an effective extension of pattern database approaches that have been successfully applied in other areas. The approach has been implemented in the SpaceEx model checker. The evaluation shows its practical potential. article_processing_charge: Yes (via OA deal) author: - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Alexandre full_name: Donzé, Alexandre last_name: Donzé - first_name: Goran full_name: Frehse, Goran last_name: Frehse - first_name: Radu full_name: Grosu, Radu last_name: Grosu - first_name: Taylor full_name: Johnson, Taylor last_name: Johnson - first_name: Hamed full_name: Ladan, Hamed last_name: Ladan - first_name: Andreas full_name: Podelski, Andreas last_name: Podelski - first_name: Martin full_name: Wehrle, Martin last_name: Wehrle citation: ama: Bogomolov S, Donzé A, Frehse G, et al.

Many text-based guidelines have been encoded for work-flow simulation of DSS to automate health care. During the collaboration with Carle hospital to develop a DSS, we identify that, for some complex and life-critical diseases, it is highly desirable to automatically rigorously verify some complex temporal properties in guidelines, which brings new challenges to current simulation based DSS with limited support of automatical formal verification and real-time data analysis. In this paper, we conduct the first study on applying runtime verification to cooperate with current DSS based on real-time data. Within the proposed technique, a user-friendly domain specific language, named DRTV, is designed to specify vital real-time data sampled by medical devices and temporal properties originated from clinical guidelines. Some interfaces are developed for data acquisition and communication. Then, for medical practice scenarios described in DRTV model, we will automatically generate event sequences and runtime property verifier automata. If a temporal property violates, real-time warnings will be produced by the formal verifier and passed to medical DSS. We have used DRTV to specify different kinds of medical care scenarios, and applied the proposed technique to assist existing DSS. As presented in experiment results, in terms of warning detection, it outperforms the only use of DSS or human inspection, and improves the quality of clinical health care of hospital acknowledgement: "This work is supported by NSF CNS 13-30077, NSF CNS 13-29886, NSF CNS 15-45002, and NSFC 61303014.\r\nThe authors thank Dr. Bobby and Dr. Hill at Carle Hospital, Urbana, IL for their help with the discussion on medical knowledge.\r\n\r\n" alternative_title: - Proceedings International Conference on Software Engineering author: - first_name: Yu full_name: Jiang, Yu last_name: Jiang - first_name: Han full_name: Liu, Han last_name: Liu - first_name: Hui full_name: Kong, Hui id: 3BDE25AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kong orcid: 0000-0002-3066-6941 - first_name: Rui full_name: Wang, Rui last_name: Wang - first_name: Mohamad full_name: Hosseini, Mohamad last_name: Hosseini - first_name: Jiaguang full_name: Sun, Jiaguang last_name: Sun - first_name: Lui full_name: Sha, Lui last_name: Sha citation: ama: 'Jiang Y, Liu H, Kong H, et al.

We study the problem of almost-sure reachability, where given a set of target states, the question is to decide whether there is a policy to ensure that the target set is reached with probability 1 (almost-surely). While in general the problem is EXPTIMEcomplete, in many practical cases policies with a small amount of memory suffice. Moreover, the existing solution to the problem is explicit, which first requires to construct explicitly an exponential reduction to a belief-support MDP. In this work, we first study the existence of observation-stationary strategies, which is NP-complete, and then small-memory strategies. We present a symbolic algorithm by an efficient encoding to SAT and using a SAT solver for the problem. We report experimental results demonstrating the scalability of our symbolic (SAT-based) approach. © 2016, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (www.aaai.org).

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. acknowledgement: This research was supported in part by the European Research Council (ERC) under grants 267989 (QUAREM) and 278410 (QUALITY), and by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grants S11402-N23 (RiSE) and Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award). alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Guy full_name: Avni, Guy id: 463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Avni orcid: 0000-0001-5588-8287 - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Orna full_name: Kupferman, Orna last_name: Kupferman citation: ama: 'Avni G, Henzinger TA, Kupferman O.

Our approach helps the programmer by automatically fixing concurrency-related bugs, i.e. bugs that occur when the program is executed using an aggressive preemptive scheduler, but not when using a non-preemptive (cooperative) scheduler. Bugs are program behaviours that are incorrect w.r.t. a specification. We consider both user-provided explicit specifications in the form of assertion\r\nstatements in the code as well as an implicit specification. The implicit specification is inferred from the non-preemptive behaviour. Let us consider sequences of calls that the program makes to an external interface. The implicit 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 consider several semantics-preserving fixes that go beyond atomic sections typically explored in the synchronisation synthesis literature. Our synthesis is able to place locks, barriers and wait-signal statements and last, but not least reorder independent statements. The latter may be useful if a thread is released to early, e.g., before some initialisation is completed. We guarantee that our synthesis does not introduce deadlocks and that the synchronisation inserted is optimal w.r.t. a given objective function. We dub our solution trace-based synchronisation synthesis and it is loosely based on counterexample-guided inductive synthesis (CEGIS). The synthesis works by discovering a trace that is incorrect w.r.t. the specification and identifying ordering constraints crucial to trigger the specification violation. Synchronisation may be placed immediately (greedy approach) or delayed until all incorrect traces are found (non-greedy approach). For the non-greedy approach we construct a set of global constraints over synchronisation placements. Each model of the global constraints set corresponds to a correctness-ensuring synchronisation placement. The placement that is optimal w.r.t. the given objective function is chosen as the synchronisation solution. We evaluate our approach on a number of realistic (albeit simplified) Linux device-driver\r\nbenchmarks. The benchmarks are versions of the drivers with known concurrency-related bugs. For the experiments with an explicit specification we added assertions that would detect the bugs in the experiments. Device drivers lend themselves to implicit specification, where the device and the operating system are the external interfaces. Our experiments demonstrate that our synthesis method is precise and efficient. We implemented objective functions for coarse-grained and fine-grained locking and observed that different synchronisation placements are produced for our experiments, favouring e.g. a minimal number of synchronisation operations or maximum concurrency." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Thorsten full_name: Tarrach, Thorsten id: 3D6E8F2C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tarrach orcid: 0000-0003-4409-8487 citation: ama: Tarrach T.

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. acknowledgement: "This research was funded in part by the European Research Council (ERC) under\r\ngrant agreement 267989 (QUAREM), the Austrian Science Fund \ (FWF) under\r\ngrants project S11402-N23 (RiSE) and Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award), the Peo-\r\nple Programme (Marie Curie Actions) of the European Union’s Seventh Framework\r\nProgramme (FP7/2007-2013) REA Grant No 291734, the SNSF Advanced Postdoc.\r\nMobility Fellowship – grant number P300P2\r\n161067, and the Czech Science Foun-\r\ndation under grant agreement P202/12/G061." alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Przemyslaw full_name: Daca, Przemyslaw id: 49351290-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Daca - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 - first_name: Tatjana full_name: Petrov, Tatjana id: 3D5811FC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Petrov orcid: 0000-0002-9041-0905 citation: ama: 'Daca P, Henzinger TA, Kretinsky J, Petrov T.

However, it suffers from the path-explosion problem and often fails to find tests that cover difficult-to-reach parts of programs. In contrast, model checkers based on counterexample-guided abstraction refinement explore programs exhaustively, while failing to scale on large programs with precision. In this paper, we present a novel method that iteratively combines concolic testing and model checking to find a test suite for a given coverage criterion. If concolic testing fails to cover some test goals, then the model checker refines its program abstraction to prove more paths infeasible, which reduces the search space for concolic testing. We have implemented our method on top of the concolictesting tool Crest and the model checker CpaChecker. We evaluated our tool on a collection of programs and a category of SvComp benchmarks. In our experiments, we observed an improvement in branch coverage compared to Crest from 48% to 63% in the best case, and from 66% to 71% on average. acknowledgement: "We thank Andrey Kupriyanov for feedback on the manuscript,\r\nand Michael Tautschnig for help with preparing the experiments.

The properties expressible in Array Folds Logic (AFL) include statements such as "the first array cell contains the array length," and "the array contains equally many minimal and maximal elements." These properties cannot be expressed in quantified fragments of the theory of arrays, nor in the theory of concatenation. Using reduction to counter machines, we show that the satisfiability problem of AFL is PSPACE-complete, and with a natural restriction the complexity decreases to NP. We also show that adding either universal quantifiers or concatenation leads to undecidability.\r\nAFL contains terms that fold a function over an array. We demonstrate that folding, a well-known concept from functional languages, allows us to concisely summarize loops that count over arrays, which occurs frequently in real-life programs. We provide a tool that can discharge proof obligations in AFL, and we demonstrate on practical examples that our decision procedure can solve a broad range of problems in symbolic testing and program verification." alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Przemyslaw full_name: Daca, Przemyslaw id: 49351290-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Daca - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Andrey full_name: Kupriyanov, Andrey id: 2C311BF8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kupriyanov citation: ama: 'Daca P, Henzinger TA, Kupriyanov A.

First, the generic models described in IEC-61375 are translated into a network of timed automata, and some safety requirements tested in IEC-61375 are formalized as timed computation tree logic (TCTL) formulas. With the help of Uppaal, we check and debug whether the timed automata satisfy the formulas or not. Within this step, several logic inconsistencies in the original standard are detected and corrected. Then, we apply the tool Times to generate C code from the verified model, which was later synthesized into a real MVBC chip. Finally, the runtime verification tool RMOR is applied to verify some safety requirements at the implementation level. We set up a real platform with worldwide mostly used MVBC D113, and verify the correctness and the scalability of the synthesized MVBC chip more comprehensively. The errors in the standard has been confirmed and the resulted MVBC has been deployed in real train communication network. acknowledgement: "This research is sponsored in part by NSFC Program (No. 91218302, No. 61527812), National Science and Technology Major Project (No. 2016ZX01038101), Tsinghua University Initiative Scientific Research Program (20131089331), MIIT IT funds (Research and application of TCN key technologies) of China, and the National Key Technology R&D Program (No. 2015BAG14B01-02), Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grants S11402-N23 (RiSE/SHiNE) and Z211-N23.\r\n" alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Yu full_name: Jiang, Yu last_name: Jiang - first_name: Han full_name: Liu, Han last_name: Liu - first_name: Houbing full_name: Song, Houbing last_name: Song - first_name: Hui full_name: Kong, Hui id: 3BDE25AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kong orcid: 0000-0002-3066-6941 - first_name: Ming full_name: Gu, Ming last_name: Gu - first_name: Jiaguang full_name: Sun, Jiaguang last_name: Sun - first_name: Lui full_name: Sha, Lui last_name: Sha citation: ama: 'Jiang Y, Liu H, Song H, et al.

While many parameter inference methods are available for models based on deterministic ordinary differential equations, the same does not hold for more detailed individual-based models. Here we consider, in particular, stochastic models in which the time evolution of the species abundances is described by a continuous-time Markov chain. These models are governed by a master equation that is typically difficult to solve. Consequently, traditional inference methods that rely on iterative evaluation of parameter likelihoods are computationally intractable. The aim of this paper is to present recent advances in parameter inference for continuous-time Markov chain models, based on a moment closure approximation of the parameter likelihood, and to investigate how these results can help in understanding, and ultimately controlling, complex systems in ecology. Specifically, we illustrate through an agricultural pest case study how parameters of a stochastic individual-based model can be identified from measured data and how the resulting model can be used to solve an optimal control problem in a stochastic setting. In particular, we show how the matter of determining the optimal combination of two different pest control methods can be formulated as a chance constrained optimization problem where the control action is modeled as a state reset, leading to a hybrid system formulation. acknowledgement: "The authors would like to acknowledge contributions from Baptiste Mottet who performed preliminary analysis regarding parameter inference for the considered case study in a student project (Mottet, 2014/2015).\r\nThe research leading to these results has received funding from the People Programme (Marie Curie Actions) of the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under REA grant agreement No. [291734] and from SystemsX under the project SignalX." article_number: '42' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Francesca full_name: Parise, Francesca last_name: Parise - first_name: John full_name: Lygeros, John last_name: Lygeros - first_name: Jakob full_name: Ruess, Jakob id: 4A245D00-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ruess orcid: 0000-0003-1615-3282 citation: ama: 'Parise F, Lygeros J, Ruess J.

These algorithms are notoriously difficult to implement correctly, due to asynchronous communication and the occurrence of faults, such as the network dropping messages or computers crashing. Nonetheless there is surprisingly little language and verification support to build distributed systems based on fault-tolerant algorithms. In this paper, we present some of the challenges that a designer has to overcome to implement a fault-tolerant distributed system. Then we review different models that have been proposed to reason about distributed algorithms and sketch how such a model can form the basis for a domain-specific programming language. Adopting a high-level programming model can simplify the programmer's life and make the code amenable to automated verification, while still compiling to efficiently executable code. We conclude by summarizing the current status of an ongoing language design and implementation project that is based on this idea. alternative_title: - LIPIcs author: - first_name: Cezara full_name: Dragoi, Cezara id: 2B2B5ED0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Dragoi - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Damien full_name: Zufferey, Damien id: 4397AC76-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Zufferey orcid: 0000-0002-3197-8736 citation: ama: Dragoi C, Henzinger TA, Zufferey D.

The prime example of such networks are models of gene expression, which typically contain a small and finite number of possible states for the promoter but an infinite number of possible states for the amount of mRNA and protein. One of the main approaches to analyze such models is through the use of equations for the time evolution of moments of the chemical species. Recently, a new approach based on conditional moments of the species with infinite state space given all the different possible states of the finite species has been proposed. It was argued that this approach allows one to capture more details about the full underlying probability distribution with a smaller number of equations. Here, I show that the result that less moments provide more information can only stem from an unnecessarily complicated description of the system in the classical formulation. The foundation of this argument will be the derivation of moment equations that describe the complete probability distribution over the finite state space but only low-order moments over the infinite state space. I will show that the number of equations that is needed is always less than what was previously claimed and always less than the number of conditional moment equations up to the same order. To support these arguments, a symbolic algorithm is provided that can be used to derive minimal systems of unconditional moment equations for models with partially finite state space.

However, the success of this approach depends critically on the informativeness of the chosen experiments, which is usually unknown a priori. Here, we propose a systematic scheme based on iterations of optimal experiment design, flow cytometry experiments, and Bayesian parameter inference to guide the discovery process in the case of stochastic biochemical reaction networks. To illustrate the benefit of our methodology, we apply it to the characterization of an engineered light-inducible gene expression circuit in yeast and compare the performance of the resulting model with models identified from nonoptimal experiments. In particular, we compare the parameter posterior distributions and the precision to which the outcome of future experiments can be predicted. Moreover, we illustrate how the identified stochastic model can be used to determine light induction patterns that make either the average amount of protein or the variability in a population of cells follow a desired profile. Our results show that optimal experiment design allows one to derive models that are accurate enough to precisely predict and regulate the protein expression in heterogeneous cell populations over extended periods of time. acknowledgement: 'J.R., F.P., and J.L. acknowledge support from the European Commission under the Network of Excellence HYCON2 (highly-complex and networked control systems) and SystemsX.ch under the SignalX Project.

The motivation of having parallel algorithms is to exploit the computational power of multi-core processors to speed-up performance. The parallelization is achieved on two fronts. First, we propose a parallel implementation of the support function algorithm by sampling functions in parallel. Second, we propose a parallel state-space exploration by slicing the time horizon and computing the reachable states in the time slices in parallel. The second method can be however applied only to a class of linear systems with invertible dynamics and fixed input. A GP-GPU implementation is also presented following a lazy evaluation strategy on support functions. The parallel algorithms are implemented in the tool XSpeed. We evaluated the performance on two benchmarks including an 28 dimension Helicopter model. Comparison with the sequential counterpart shows a maximum speed-up of almost 7× on a 6 core, 12 thread Intel Xeon CPU E5-2420 processor. Our GP-GPU implementation shows a maximum speed-up of 12× over the sequential implementation and 53× over SpaceEx (LGG scenario), the state of the art tool for reachability analysis of linear hybrid systems. Experiments illustrate that our parallel algorithm with time slicing not only speeds-up performance but also improves precision. acknowledgement: This work was supported in part by the European Research Council (ERC) under grant 267989 (QUAREM) and by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grants S11402-N23, S11405-N23 and S11412-N23 (RiSE/SHiNE) and Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award). alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Rajarshi full_name: Ray, Rajarshi last_name: Ray - first_name: Amit full_name: Gurung, Amit last_name: Gurung - first_name: Binayak full_name: Das, Binayak last_name: Das - first_name: Ezio full_name: Bartocci, Ezio last_name: Bartocci - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Radu full_name: Grosu, Radu last_name: Grosu citation: ama: 'Ray R, Gurung A, Das B, Bartocci E, Bogomolov S, Grosu R.

In this work, we study frequency LTL (fLTL), an extension of LTL which allows to speak about frequencies of events along an execution. Such an extension is particularly useful for probabilistic systems that often cannot fulfil strict qualitative guarantees on the behaviour. It has been recently shown that controller synthesis for Markov decision processes and fLTL is decidable when all the bounds on frequencies are 1. As a step towards a complete quantitative solution, we show that the problem is decidable for the fragment fLTL\GU, where U does not occur in the scope of G (but still F can). Our solution is based on a novel translation of such quantitative formulae into equivalent deterministic automata. acknowledgement: "This work is partly supported by the German Research Council (DFG) as part of the Transregional Collaborative Research Center AVACS (SFB/TR 14), by the Czech Science Foundation under grant agreement P202/12/G061, by the EU 7th Framework Programme under grant agreement no. 295261 (MEALS) and 318490 (SENSATION), by the CDZ project 1023 (CAP), by the CAS/SAFEA International Partnership Program for Creative Research Teams, by the EPSRC grant EP/M023656/1, by the People Programme (Marie Curie Actions) of the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007–2013) REA Grant No 291734, by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) S11407-N23 (RiSE/SHiNE), and by the ERC Start Grant (279307: Graph Games).\r\n" alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Vojtěch full_name: Forejt, Vojtěch last_name: Forejt - first_name: Jan full_name: Krčál, Jan last_name: Krčál - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 citation: ama: 'Forejt V, Krčál J, Kretinsky J.

Our aim is to simplify the interaction of tools, helping the research community to build upon other people’s work. A key feature of the format is the use of very generic acceptance conditions, specified by Boolean combinations of acceptance primitives, rather than being limited to common cases such as Büchi, Streett, or Rabin. Such flexibility in the choice of acceptance conditions can be exploited in applications, for example in probabilistic model checking, and furthermore encourages the development of acceptance-agnostic tools for automata manipulations. The format allows acceptance conditions that are either state-based or transition-based, and also supports alternating automata. alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Tomáš full_name: Babiak, Tomáš last_name: Babiak - first_name: František full_name: Blahoudek, František last_name: Blahoudek - first_name: Alexandre full_name: Duret Lutz, Alexandre last_name: Duret Lutz - first_name: Joachim full_name: Klein, Joachim last_name: Klein - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 - first_name: Daniel full_name: Mueller, Daniel last_name: Mueller - first_name: David full_name: Parker, David last_name: Parker - first_name: Jan full_name: Strejček, Jan last_name: Strejček citation: ama: 'Babiak T, Blahoudek F, Duret Lutz A, et al.

The development tools include hybrid systems reachability analysis tools, model-based development environments like Simulink/Stateflow (SLSF), etc. First, hybrid automaton models are randomly generated. Next, these hybrid automaton models are translated to a number of different tools (currently, SpaceEx, dReach, Flow*, HyCreate, and the MathWorks’ Simulink/Stateflow) using the HyST source transformation and translation tool. Then, the hybrid automaton models are executed in the different tools and their outputs are parsed. The final step is the differential comparison: the outputs of the different tools are compared. If the results do not agree (in the sense that an analysis or verification result from one tool does not match that of another tool, ignoring timeouts, etc.), a candidate bug is flagged and the model is saved for future analysis by the user. The process then repeats and the monitoring continues until the user terminates the process. We present preliminary results that have been useful in identifying a few bugs in the analysis methods of different development tools, and in an earlier version of HyST.' alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Luan full_name: Nguyen, Luan last_name: Nguyen - first_name: Christian full_name: Schilling, Christian last_name: Schilling - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Taylor full_name: Johnson, Taylor last_name: Johnson citation: ama: 'Nguyen L, Schilling C, Bogomolov S, Johnson T.

When such models are employed to answer questions in applications, in order to ensure that the model provides a sufficiently accurate representation of the real system, it is of vital importance that the model parameters are inferred from real measured data. This, however, is often a formidable task and all of the existing methods fail in one case or the other, usually because the underlying CTMC model is high-dimensional and computationally difficult to analyze. The parameter inference methods that tend to scale best in the dimension of the CTMC are based on so-called moment closure approximations. However, there exists a large number of different moment closure approximations and it is typically hard to say a priori which of the approximations is the most suitable for the inference procedure. Here, we propose a moment-based parameter inference method that automatically chooses the most appropriate moment closure method. Accordingly, contrary to existing methods, the user is not required to be experienced in moment closure techniques. In addition to that, our method adaptively changes the approximation during the parameter inference to ensure that always the best approximation is used, even in cases where different approximations are best in different regions of the parameter space. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Andreas full_name: Podelski, Andreas last_name: Podelski - first_name: Jakob full_name: Ruess, Jakob id: 4A245D00-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ruess orcid: 0000-0003-1615-3282 - first_name: Christian full_name: Schilling, Christian last_name: Schilling citation: ama: Bogomolov S, Henzinger TA, Podelski A, Ruess J, Schilling C.

A recent solving approach for such domains is based on applying model checking techniques on a translation of PDDL+ planning problems to hybrid automata. However, the proposed translation is limited because must behavior is only overapproximated, and hence, processes and events are not reflected exactly. In this paper, we present the theoretical foundation of an exact PDDL+ translation. We propose a schema to convert a hybrid automaton with must transitions into an equivalent hybrid automaton featuring only may transitions. acknowledgement: This work was partly supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) as part of the Transregional Collaborative Research Center “Automatic Verification and Analysis of Complex Systems” (SFB/TR 14 AVACS, http://www.avacs.org/), by the European Research Council (ERC) under grant 267989 (QUAREM), by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grants S11402-N23 (RiSE) and Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award), and by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) as part of the project “Automated Reformulation and Pruning in Factored State Spaces (ARAP)”. author: - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Daniele full_name: Magazzeni, Daniele last_name: Magazzeni - first_name: Stefano full_name: Minopoli, Stefano last_name: Minopoli - first_name: Martin full_name: Wehrle, Martin last_name: Wehrle citation: ama: 'Bogomolov S, Magazzeni D, Minopoli S, Wehrle M.

We provide a full classification of Horn formulae with respect to the complexity of the corresponding satisfiability problem. It turns out, that except for the trivial case of inconsistent formulae, local satisfiability is eitherNP-complete or PSPACE-complete, and global satisfiability is NP-complete, PSPACE-complete, or ExpTime-complete. We also show that the finite satisfiability problem for modal logic over Horn definable classes of frames is decidable. On the negative side, we show undecidability of two related problems. First, we exhibit a simple universal three-variable formula defining the class of frames over which modal logic is undecidable. Second, we consider the satisfiability problem of bimodal logic over Horn definable classes of frames, and also present a formula leading to undecidability. article_number: '2' author: - first_name: Jakub full_name: Michaliszyn, Jakub last_name: Michaliszyn - first_name: Jan full_name: Otop, Jan id: 2FC5DA74-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Otop - first_name: Emanuel full_name: Kieroňski, Emanuel last_name: Kieroňski citation: ama: Michaliszyn J, Otop J, Kieroňski E.

Using template polyhedra can greatly reduce the computational complexity, since it replaces complex operations on sets with a small number of optimization problems. However, the use of templates may make the over-approximation too conservative. Spurious transitions, which are falsely considered reachable, are particularly detrimental to performance and accuracy, and may exacerbate the state explosion problem. In this paper, we examine how spurious transitions can be avoided with minimal computational effort. To this end, detecting spurious transitions is reduced to the well-known problem of showing that two convex sets are disjoint by finding a hyperplane that separates them. We generalize this to owpipes by considering hyperplanes that evolve with time in correspondence to the dynamics of the system. The approach is implemented in the model checker SpaceEx and demonstrated on examples. author: - first_name: Goran full_name: Frehse, Goran last_name: Frehse - first_name: Sergiy full_name: Bogomolov, Sergiy id: 369D9A44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bogomolov orcid: 0000-0002-0686-0365 - first_name: Marius full_name: Greitschus, Marius last_name: Greitschus - first_name: Thomas full_name: Strump, Thomas last_name: Strump - first_name: Andreas full_name: Podelski, Andreas last_name: Podelski citation: ama: 'Frehse G, Bogomolov S, Greitschus M, Strump T, Podelski A.

Although all of them honor roughly the same hybrid systems semantics, they have drastically different model description languages. This situation (a) makes it difficult to quickly evaluate a specific hybrid automaton model using the different tools, (b) obstructs comparisons of reachability approaches, and (c) impedes the widespread application of research results that perform model modification and could benefit many of the tools. In this paper, we present Hyst, a Hybrid Source Transformer. Hyst is a source-to-source translation tool, currently taking input in the SpaceEx model format, and translating to the formats of HyCreate, Flow∗, or dReach. Internally, the tool supports generic model-to-model transformation passes that serve to both ease the translation and potentially improve reachability results for the supported tools. Although these model transformation passes could be implemented within each tool, the Hyst approach provides a single place for model modification, generating modified input sources for the unmodified target tools. Our evaluation demonstrates Hyst is capable of automatically translating benchmarks in several classes (including affine and nonlinear hybrid automata) to the input formats of several tools. Additionally, we illustrate a general model transformation pass based on pseudo-invariants implemented in Hyst that illustrates the reachability improvement. acknowledgement: The material presented in this paper is based upon work sup-ported by the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Information Directorate (AFRL/RI) through the Visiting Faculty Research Program (VFRP) under contract number FA8750-13-2-0115 and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR).

For memoryless strategies, we show that deciding the existence of a winning strategy for the protagonist is NP-complete.

The instance of this NP-hard problem must be solved to find an estimate forWCET, and it must be refined if the estimate is not tight.We propose a new framework for WCET analysis, based on abstract segment trees (ASTs) as the main data structure. The ASTs have two advantages. First, they allow computing WCET by solving a number of independent small ILP instances. Second, ASTs store more expressive constraints, thus enabling a more efficient and precise refinement procedure. In order to realize our framework algorithmically, we develop an algorithm for WCET estimation on ASTs, and we develop an interpolation-based counterexample-guided refinement scheme for ASTs. Furthermore, we extend our framework to obtain parametric estimates of WCET. We experimentally evaluate our approach on a set of examples from WCET benchmark suites and linear-algebra packages. We show that our analysis, with comparable effort, provides WCET estimates that in many cases significantly improve those computed by existing tools. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Pavol full_name: Cerny, Pavol id: 4DCBEFFE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Cerny - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Laura full_name: Kovács, Laura last_name: Kovács - first_name: Arjun full_name: Radhakrishna, Arjun id: 3B51CAC4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Radhakrishna - first_name: Jakob full_name: Zwirchmayr, Jakob last_name: Zwirchmayr citation: ama: Cerny P, Henzinger TA, Kovács L, Radhakrishna A, Zwirchmayr J.

Despite its many advantages, the formalism as well as its currently known extensions are incapable of expressing some practically needed aspects in the refinement process like exclusive, conditional and persistent choices. We introduce a new model called parametric modal transition systems (PMTS) together with a general modal refinement notion that overcomes many of the limitations. We investigate the computational complexity of modal and thorough refinement checking on PMTS and its subclasses and provide a direct encoding of the modal refinement problem into quantified Boolean formulae, allowing us to employ state-of-the-art QBF solvers for modal refinement checking. The experiments we report on show that the feasibility of refinement checking is more influenced by the degree of nondeterminism rather than by the syntactic restrictions on the types of formulae allowed in the description of the PMTS. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Nikola full_name: Beneš, Nikola last_name: Beneš - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 - first_name: Kim full_name: Larsen, Kim last_name: Larsen - first_name: Mikael full_name: Möller, Mikael last_name: Möller - first_name: Salomon full_name: Sickert, Salomon last_name: Sickert - first_name: Jiří full_name: Srba, Jiří last_name: Srba citation: ama: Beneš N, Kretinsky J, Larsen K, Möller M, Sickert S, Srba J.

The cost of reduction is defined as the Kullback-Leibler divergence rate between a projection of the original process through a partition function and a DTMC on the correspondingly partitioned state space. Finding the reduced model with minimal cost is computationally expensive, as it requires an exhaustive search among all state space partitions, and an exact evaluation of the reduction cost for each candidate partition. Our approach deals with the latter problem by minimizing an upper bound on the reduction cost instead of minimizing the exact cost. The proposed upper bound is easy to compute and it is tight if the original chain is lumpable with respect to the partition. Then, we express the problem in the form of information bottleneck optimization, and propose using the agglomerative information bottleneck algorithm for searching a suboptimal partition greedily, rather than exhaustively. The theory is illustrated with examples and one application scenario in the context of modeling bio-molecular interactions. acknowledgement: "This work was supported by the Austrian Research Association under Project 06/12684, by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) under Grant PP00P2 128503/1, by the SystemsX.ch (the Swiss Inititative for Systems Biology), and by a SNSF Early Postdoc.Mobility Fellowship grant P2EZP2_148797.\r\n" author: - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Geiger, Bernhard last_name: Geiger - first_name: Tatjana full_name: Petrov, Tatjana id: 3D5811FC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Petrov orcid: 0000-0002-9041-0905 - first_name: Gernot full_name: Kubin, Gernot last_name: Kubin - first_name: Heinz full_name: Koeppl, Heinz last_name: Koeppl citation: ama: Geiger B, Petrov T, Kubin G, Koeppl H.

This has motivated recent research effort into methods for parameter inference and experiment design for such models. The major difficulty is that such methods usually require one to iteratively solve the chemical master equation that governs the time evolution of the probability distribution of the system. This, however, is rarely possible, and even approximation techniques remain limited to relatively small and simple systems. An alternative explored in this article is to base methods on only some low-order moments of the entire probability distribution. We summarize the theory behind such moment-based methods for parameter inference and experiment design and provide new case studies where we investigate their performance. acknowledgement: "HYCON2; EC; European Commission\r\n" article_number: '8' author: - first_name: Jakob full_name: Ruess, Jakob id: 4A245D00-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ruess orcid: 0000-0003-1615-3282 - first_name: John full_name: Lygeros, John last_name: Lygeros citation: ama: Ruess J, Lygeros J.

It is based on disjunctive modal transition systems where we allow actions to bear various types of quantitative information. Throughout the design process the actions can be further refined and the information made more precise. We show how to compute the results of standard operations on the systems, including the quotient (residual), which has not been previously considered for quantitative non-deterministic systems. Our quantitative framework has close connections to the modal nu-calculus and is compositional with respect to general notions of distances between systems and the standard operations. acknowledgement: This research was funded in part by the European Research Council (ERC) under grant agreement 267989 (QUAREM), by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) project S11402-N23 (RiSE), and by the Czech Science Foundation, grant No. P202/12/G061. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Uli full_name: Fahrenberg, Uli last_name: Fahrenberg - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 - first_name: Axel full_name: Legay, Axel last_name: Legay - first_name: Louis full_name: Traonouez, Louis last_name: Traonouez citation: ama: 'Fahrenberg U, Kretinsky J, Legay A, Traonouez L.

We focus on trace sets that contain all correct or all incorrect permutations of events from a given trace. We represent trace sets as HB-Formulas that are Boolean combinations of happens-before constraints between events. To generate a representation of incorrect interleavings, our method iteratively explores interleavings that violate the specification and gathers generalizations of the discovered interleavings into an HB-Formula; its complement yields a representation of correct interleavings.\r\n\r\nWe claim that our trace set representations can drive diverse verification, fault localization, repair, and synthesis techniques for concurrent programs. We demonstrate this by using our tool in three case studies involving synchronization synthesis, bug summarization, and abstraction refinement based verification. In each case study, our initial experimental results have been promising.\r\n\r\nIn the first case study, we present an algorithm for inferring missing synchronization from an HB-Formula representing correct interleavings of a given trace. The algorithm applies rules to rewrite specific patterns in the HB-Formula into locks, barriers, and wait-notify constructs. In the second case study, we use an HB-Formula representing incorrect interleavings for bug summarization. While the HB-Formula itself is a concise counterexample summary, we present additional inference rules to help identify specific concurrency bugs such as data races, define-use order violations, and two-stage access bugs. In the final case study, we present a novel predicate learning procedure that uses HB-Formulas representing abstract counterexamples to accelerate counterexample-guided abstraction refinement (CEGAR). In each iteration of the CEGAR loop, the procedure refines the abstraction to eliminate multiple spurious abstract counterexamples drawn from the HB-Formula." author: - first_name: Ashutosh full_name: Gupta, Ashutosh id: 335E5684-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Gupta - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Arjun full_name: Radhakrishna, Arjun id: 3B51CAC4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Radhakrishna - first_name: Roopsha full_name: Samanta, Roopsha id: 3D2AAC08-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Samanta - first_name: Thorsten full_name: Tarrach, Thorsten id: 3D6E8F2C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tarrach orcid: 0000-0003-4409-8487 citation: ama: 'Gupta A, Henzinger TA, Radhakrishna A, Samanta R, Tarrach T.

Regrettably, such proofs, whether manual or automatic, are often complicated and scale poorly to advanced non-blocking concurrency patterns, such as helping and optimistic updates. In response, we propose a more modular way of checking linearizability of concurrent queue algorithms that does not involve identifying linearization points. We reduce the task of proving linearizability with respect to the queue specification to establishing four basic properties, each of which can be proved independently by simpler arguments. As a demonstration of our approach, we verify the Herlihy and Wing queue, an algorithm that is challenging to verify by a simulation proof.

These games can be classified on the basis of the information of the players and on the mode of interaction between them. On the basis of information the classification is as follows: (a) partial-observation (both players have partial view of the game); (b) one-sided complete-observation (one player has complete observation); and (c) complete-observation (both players have complete view of the game). On the basis of mode of interaction we have the following classification: (a) concurrent (both players interact simultaneously); and (b) turn-based (both players interact in turn). The two sources of randomness in these games are randomness in transition function and randomness in strategies. In general, randomized strategies are more powerful than deterministic strategies, and randomness in transitions gives more general classes of games. In this work we present a complete characterization for the classes of games where randomness is not helpful in: (a) the transition function probabilistic transition can be simulated by deterministic transition); and (b) strategies (pure strategies are as powerful as randomized strategies). As consequence of our characterization we obtain new undecidability results for these games.

Under a probabilistic assumption about the possible inputs, such a preference order is naturally expressed by a weighted automaton, which assigns to each word a value, such that a system is preferred if it generates a higher expected value. We solve the following optimal synthesis problem: given an omega-regular specification, a Markov chain that describes the distribution of inputs, and a weighted automaton that measures how well a system satisfies the given specification under the input assumption, synthesize a system that optimizes the measured value. For safety specifications and quantitative measures that are defined by mean-payoff automata, the optimal synthesis problem reduces to finding a strategy in a Markov decision process (MDP) that is optimal for a long-run average reward objective, which can be achieved in polynomial time. For general omega-regular specifications along with mean-payoff automata, the solution rests on a new, polynomial-time algorithm for computing optimal strategies in MDPs with mean-payoff parity objectives. Our algorithm constructs optimal strategies that consist of two memoryless strategies and a counter. The counter is in general not bounded. To obtain a finite-state system, we show how to construct an ε-optimal strategy with a bounded counter, for all ε > 0. Furthermore, we show how to decide in polynomial time if it is possible to construct an optimal finite-state system (i.e., a system without a counter) for a given specification. We have implemented our approach and the underlying algorithms in a tool that takes qualitative and quantitative specifications and automatically constructs a system that satisfies the qualitative specification and optimizes the quantitative specification, if such a system exists. We present some experimental results showing optimal systems that were automatically generated in this way.' article_number: '9' author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Barbara full_name: Jobstmann, Barbara last_name: Jobstmann - first_name: Rohit full_name: Singh, Rohit last_name: Singh citation: ama: Chatterjee K, Henzinger TA, Jobstmann B, Singh R.

There exist two different views: (i) ~the expectation semantics, where the goal is to optimize the expected mean-payoff objective, and (ii) ~the satisfaction semantics, where the goal is to maximize the probability of runs such that the mean-payoff value stays above a given vector. We consider optimization with respect to both objectives at once, thus unifying the existing semantics. Precisely, the goal is to optimize the expectation while ensuring the satisfaction constraint. Our problem captures the notion of optimization with respect to strategies that are risk-averse (i.e., Ensure certain probabilistic guarantee). Our main results are as follows: First, we present algorithms for the decision problems, which are always polynomial in the size of the MDP. We also show that an approximation of the Pareto curve can be computed in time polynomial in the size of the MDP, and the approximation factor, but exponential in the number of dimensions. Second, we present a complete characterization of the strategy complexity (in terms of memory bounds and randomization) required to solve our problem.

While weighted automata over finite and infinite words provide a natural and flexible framework to express quantitative properties, perhaps surprisingly, some basic system properties such as average response time cannot be expressed using weighted automata, nor in any other know decidable formalism. In this work, we introduce nested weighted automata as a natural extension of weighted automata which makes it possible to express important quantitative properties such as average response time. 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 run-time verification. We establish an almost complete decidability picture for the basic decision problems about nested weighted automata, and illustrate their applicability in several domains. In particular, nested weighted automata can be used to decide average response time properties. acknowledgement: "This research was funded in part by the European Research Council (ERC) under grant agreement 267989 (QUAREM), by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) projects S11402-N23 (RiSE), Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award), FWF Grant No P23499- N23, FWF NFN Grant No S11407-N23 (RiSE), ERC Start grant (279307: Graph Games), and Microsoft faculty fellows award.\r\nA Technical Report of the paper is available at: \r\nhttps://repository.ist.ac.at/331/\r\n" article_number: '7174926' author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Jan full_name: Otop, Jan id: 2FC5DA74-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Otop citation: ama: 'Chatterjee K, Henzinger TA, Otop J.

The problem turns out to relate to many fields of mathematics and computer science, and its decidability question is surprisingly hard to solve. We solve the finite version of the problem, and show the hardness of the infinite version, linking it to various areas and open problems in mathematics and computer science: β-expansions, discounted-sum automata, piecewise affine maps, and generalizations of the Cantor set.

The edit distance generalizes to languages L1,L2, where the edit distance is the minimal number k such that for every word from L1 there exists a word in L2 with edit distance at most k. We study the edit distance computation problem between pushdown automata and their subclasses. The problem of computing edit distance to pushdown automata is undecidable, and in practice, the interesting question is to compute the edit distance from a pushdown automaton (the implementation, a standard model for programs with recursion) to a regular language (the specification). In this work, we present a complete picture of decidability and complexity for deciding whether, for a given threshold k, the edit distance from a pushdown automaton to a finite automaton is at most k. alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Rasmus full_name: Ibsen-Jensen, Rasmus id: 3B699956-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ibsen-Jensen orcid: 0000-0003-4783-0389 - first_name: Jan full_name: Otop, Jan id: 2FC5DA74-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Otop citation: ama: 'Chatterjee K, Henzinger TA, Ibsen-Jensen R, Otop J.

The problem turns out to relate to many fields of mathematics and computer science, and its decidability question is surprisingly hard to solve. We solve the finite version of the problem, and show the hardness of the infinite version, linking it to various areas and open problems in mathematics and computer science: β-expansions, discounted-sum automata, piecewise affine maps, and generalizations of the Cantor set. We provide some partial results to the infinite version, among which are solutions to its restriction to eventually-periodic sequences and to the cases that λ λ 1/2 or λ = 1/n, for every n ε N. We use our results for solving some open problems on discounted-sum automata, among which are the exact-value problem for nondeterministic automata over finite words and the universality and inclusion problems for functional automata.

We focus on qualitative properties for MDPs that can express that desired behaviors of the system arise almost-surely (with probability 1) or with positive probability. We introduce a new simulation relation to capture the refinement relation of MDPs with respect to qualitative properties, and present discrete graph algorithms with quadratic complexity to compute the simulation relation. We present an automated technique for assume-guarantee style reasoning for compositional analysis of two-player games by giving a counterexample guided abstraction-refinement approach to compute our new simulation relation. We show a tight link between two-player games and MDPs, and as a consequence the results for games are lifted to MDPs with qualitative properties. We have implemented our algorithms and show that the compositional analysis leads to significant improvements.

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 satisfying initial states. Moreover, for any (partial) solution our algorithm synthesizes witness control strategies to ensure almost-sure satisfaction of the temporal logic specification. We demonstrate our approach on an illustrative case study. author: - first_name: Mária full_name: Svoreňová, Mária last_name: Svoreňová - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 - first_name: Martin full_name: Chmelik, Martin id: 3624234E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chmelik - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Ivana full_name: Cěrná, Ivana last_name: Cěrná - first_name: Cǎlin full_name: Belta, Cǎlin last_name: Belta citation: ama: 'Svoreňová M, Kretinsky J, Chmelik M, Chatterjee K, Cěrná I, Belta C.

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 such sequences produced under a non-preemptive scheduler. The solution is based on a finitary abstraction, an algorithm for bounded language inclusion modulo an independence relation, and rules for inserting synchronization. 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, and, since it does not require explicit specifications, is more practical than the conventional approach based on user-provided assertions. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Pavol full_name: Cerny, Pavol id: 4DCBEFFE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Cerny - first_name: Edmund full_name: Clarke, Edmund last_name: Clarke - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Arjun full_name: Radhakrishna, Arjun id: 3B51CAC4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Radhakrishna - first_name: Leonid full_name: Ryzhyk, Leonid last_name: Ryzhyk - first_name: Roopsha full_name: Samanta, Roopsha id: 3D2AAC08-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Samanta - first_name: Thorsten full_name: Tarrach, Thorsten id: 3D6E8F2C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tarrach orcid: 0000-0003-4409-8487 citation: ama: Cerny P, Clarke E, Henzinger TA, et al.

In this paper, we demonstrate that we can replace this approach by a formal verification-like method that gives higher assurance and scalability. We focus on Wagner’s weighted GRN model with varying weights, which is used in evolutionary biology. In the model, weight parameters represent the gene interaction strength that may change due to genetic mutations. For a property of interest, we synthesise the constraints over the parameter space that represent the set of GRNs satisfying the property. We experimentally show that our parameter synthesis procedure computes the mutational robustness of GRNs –an important problem of interest in evolutionary biology– more efficiently than the classical simulation method. We specify the property in linear temporal logics. We employ symbolic bounded model checking and SMT solving to compute the space of GRNs that satisfy the property, which amounts to synthesizing a set of linear constraints on the weights. acknowledgement: "SNSF Early Postdoc.Mobility Fellowship, the grant number P2EZP2 148797.\r\n" alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Mirco full_name: Giacobbe, Mirco id: 3444EA5E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Giacobbe orcid: 0000-0001-8180-0904 - first_name: Calin C full_name: Guet, Calin C id: 47F8433E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Guet orcid: 0000-0001-6220-2052 - first_name: Ashutosh full_name: Gupta, Ashutosh id: 335E5684-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Gupta - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Tiago full_name: Paixao, Tiago id: 2C5658E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Paixao orcid: 0000-0003-2361-3953 - first_name: Tatjana full_name: Petrov, Tatjana id: 3D5811FC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Petrov orcid: 0000-0002-9041-0905 citation: ama: Giacobbe M, Guet CC, Gupta A, Henzinger TA, Paixao T, Petrov T.

For instance, a set of erroneous traces with a sufficient cumulative probability mass can be used. Since these are too large objects to understand and manipulate, compact representations such as subchains have been considered. In the case of probabilistic systems with non-determinism, the situation is even more complex. While a subchain for a given strategy (or scheduler, resolving non-determinism) is a straightforward choice, we take a different approach. Instead, we focus on the strategy itself, and extract the most important decisions it makes, and present its succinct representation.\r\nThe key tools we employ to achieve this are (1) introducing a concept of importance of a state w.r.t. the strategy, and (2) learning using decision trees. There are three main consequent advantages of our approach. Firstly, it exploits the quantitative information on states, stressing the more important decisions. Secondly, it leads to a greater variability and degree of freedom in representing the strategies. Thirdly, the representation uses a self-explanatory data structure. In summary, our approach produces more succinct and more explainable strategies, as opposed to e.g. binary decision diagrams. Finally, our experimental results show that we can extract several rules describing the strategy even for very large systems that do not fit in memory, and based on the rules explain the erroneous behaviour." acknowledgement: This research was funded in part by Austrian Science Fund (FWF) Grant No P 23499-N23, FWF NFN Grant No S11407-N23 (RiSE) and Z211-N23 (Wittgenstein Award), European Research Council (ERC) Grant No 279307 (Graph Games), ERC Grant No 267989 (QUAREM), the Czech Science Foundation Grant No P202/12/G061, and People Programme (Marie Curie Actions) of the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007–2013) REA Grant No 291734. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Tomáš full_name: Brázdil, Tomáš last_name: Brázdil - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Martin full_name: Chmelik, Martin id: 3624234E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chmelik - first_name: Andreas full_name: Fellner, Andreas id: 42BABFB4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fellner - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 citation: ama: 'Brázdil T, Chatterjee K, Chmelik M, Fellner A, Kretinsky J.

In this paper we consider distributed algorithms whose computations are organized in rounds. To verify the correctness of such algorithms, we reason about (i) properties (such as invariants) of the state, (ii) the transitions controlled by the algorithm, and (iii) the communication graph. We introduce a logic that addresses these points, and contains set comprehensions with cardinality constraints, function symbols to describe the local states of each process, and a limited form of quantifier alternation to express the verification conditions. We show its use in automating the verification of consensus algorithms. In particular, we give a semi-decision procedure for the unsatisfiability problem of the logic and identify a decidable fragment. We successfully applied our framework to verify the correctness of a variety of consensus algorithms tolerant to both benign faults (message loss, process crashes) and value faults (message corruption). acknowledgement: Supported by the Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) through grant PROSEED. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Cezara full_name: Dragoi, Cezara id: 2B2B5ED0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Dragoi - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Helmut full_name: Veith, Helmut last_name: Veith - first_name: Josef full_name: Widder, Josef last_name: Widder - first_name: Damien full_name: Zufferey, Damien id: 4397AC76-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Zufferey orcid: 0000-0002-3197-8736 citation: ama: 'Dragoi C, Henzinger TA, Veith H, Widder J, Zufferey D.

Models from diverse application areas such as computer vision, coding theory, cryptographic protocols, biology and reliability analysis can be written as probabilistic programs. Probabilistic inference is the problem of computing an explicit representation of the probability distribution implicitly specified by a probabilistic program. Depending on the application, the desired output from inference may vary-we may want to estimate the expected value of some function f with respect to the distribution, or the mode of the distribution, or simply a set of samples drawn from the distribution. In this paper, we describe connections this research area called \Probabilistic Programming" has with programming languages and software engineering, and this includes language design, and the static and dynamic analysis of programs.

Yet, in many instances it is easy to formally specify correctness. For example, the specification for the controller of a pipelined processor only has to state that the pipelined processor gives the same results as a non-pipelined reference design. This makes such controllers a good target for automated synthesis. However, an efficient abstraction for the complex datapath elements is needed, as a bit-precise description is often infeasible. We present Suraq, the first controller synthesis tool which uses uninterpreted functions for the abstraction. Quantified firstorder formulas (with specific quantifier structure) serve as the specification language from which Suraq synthesizes Boolean controllers. Suraq transforms the specification into an unsatisfiable SMT formula, and uses Craig interpolation to compute its results. Using Suraq, we were able to synthesize a controller (consisting of two Boolean signals) for a five-stage pipelined DLX processor in roughly one hour and 15 minutes. acknowledgement: The work presented in this paper was supported in part by the European Research Council (ERC) under grant agreement QUAINT (I774-N23) alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Georg full_name: Hofferek, Georg last_name: Hofferek - first_name: Ashutosh full_name: Gupta, Ashutosh id: 335E5684-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Gupta citation: ama: 'Hofferek G, Gupta A.

An extensionality axiom asserts that two collections are equal if they consist of the same elements at the same indices. Using extensionality is often required to show that two collections are equal. A typical example is the set theory theorem (∀x)(∀y)x∪y = y ∪x. Interestingly, while humans have no problem with proving such set identities using extensionality, they are very hard for superposition theorem provers because of the calculi they use. In this paper we show how addition of a new inference rule, called extensionality resolution, allows first-order theorem provers to easily solve problems no modern first-order theorem prover can solve. We illustrate this by running the VAMPIRE theorem prover with extensionality resolution on a number of set theory and array problems. Extensionality resolution helps VAMPIRE to solve problems from the TPTP library of first-order problems that were never solved before by any prover. acknowledgement: This research was supported in part by the Austrian National Research Network RiSE (S11410-N23). alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Ashutosh full_name: Gupta, Ashutosh id: 335E5684-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Gupta - first_name: Laura full_name: Kovács, Laura last_name: Kovács - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Kragl, Bernhard id: 320FC952-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kragl orcid: 0000-0001-7745-9117 - first_name: Andrei full_name: Voronkov, Andrei last_name: Voronkov citation: ama: 'Gupta A, Kovács L, Kragl B, Voronkov A.

Our notion of robustness is based on the analytic notion of Lipschitz continuity - a transducer is K-(Lipschitz) robust if the perturbation in its output is at most K times the perturbation in its input. We quantify input and output perturbation using similarity functions. We show that K-robustness is undecidable even for deterministic transducers. We identify a class of functional transducers, which admits a polynomial time automata-theoretic decision procedure for K-robustness. This class includes Mealy machines and functional letter-to-letter transducers. We also study K-robustness of nondeterministic transducers. Since a nondeterministic transducer generates a set of output words for each input word, we quantify output perturbation using setsimilarity functions. We show that K-robustness of nondeterministic transducers is undecidable, even for letter-to-letter transducers. We identify a class of set-similarity functions which admit decidable K-robustness of letter-to-letter transducers. alternative_title: - LIPIcs author: - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Jan full_name: Otop, Jan id: 2FC5DA74-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Otop - first_name: Roopsha full_name: Samanta, Roopsha id: 3D2AAC08-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Samanta citation: ama: 'Henzinger TA, Otop J, Samanta R.

As a step toward integrating programmer intent and intuition in automated program repair, we present a cost-aware formulation - given a cost function associated with permissible statement modifications, the goal is to ensure that the total program modification cost does not exceed a given repair budget. As part of our predicate abstractionbased solution framework, we present a sound and complete algorithm for repair of Boolean programs. We have developed a prototype tool based on SMT solving and used it successfully to repair diverse errors in benchmark C programs. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Roopsha full_name: Samanta, Roopsha id: 3D2AAC08-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Samanta - first_name: Oswaldo full_name: Olivo, Oswaldo last_name: Olivo - first_name: Emerson full_name: Allen, Emerson last_name: Allen citation: ama: 'Samanta R, Olivo O, Allen E.

The primary goal of these techniques is to improve performance by avoiding an exhaustive exploration of the state space. Our framework focuses on probabilistic reachability, which is a core property for verification, and is illustrated through two distinct instantiations. The first assumes that full knowledge of the MDP is available, and performs a heuristic-driven partial exploration of the model, yielding precise lower and upper bounds on the required probability. The second tackles the case where we may only sample the MDP, and yields probabilistic guarantees, again in terms of both the lower and upper bounds, which provides efficient stopping criteria for the approximation. The latter is the first extension of statistical model checking for unbounded properties inMDPs. In contrast with other related techniques, our approach is not restricted to time-bounded (finite-horizon) or discounted properties, nor does it assume any particular properties of the MDP. We also show how our methods extend to LTL objectives. We present experimental results showing the performance of our framework on several examples. acknowledgement: This research was funded in part by the European Research Council (ERC) under grant agreement 246967 (VERIWARE), by the EU FP7 project HIERATIC, by the Czech Science Foundation grant No P202/12/P612, by EPSRC project EP/K038575/1. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Tomáš full_name: Brázdil, Tomáš last_name: Brázdil - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Martin full_name: Chmelik, Martin id: 3624234E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chmelik - first_name: Vojtěch full_name: Forejt, Vojtěch last_name: Forejt - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 - first_name: Marta full_name: Kwiatkowska, Marta last_name: Kwiatkowska - first_name: David full_name: Parker, David last_name: Parker - first_name: Mateusz full_name: Ujma, Mateusz last_name: Ujma citation: ama: 'Brázdil T, Chatterjee K, Chmelik M, et al.

We also link our tool to PRISM and show that this leads to a significant speed-up of probabilistic LTL model checking, especially with the generalized Rabin automata.' acknowledgement: "Sponsor: P202/12/G061; GACR; Czech Science Foundation\r\n\r\n" alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Zuzana full_name: Komárková, Zuzana last_name: Komárková - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 citation: ama: 'Komárková Z, Kretinsky J.

In this paper, we give a natural definition of strong bisimulation for probabilistic systems corresponding to this view that treats probability distributions as first-class citizens. Our definition applies in the same way to discrete systems as well as to systems with uncountable state and action spaces. Several examples demonstrate that our definition refines the understanding of behavioural equivalences of probabilistic systems. In particular, it solves a longstanding open problem concerning the representation of memoryless continuous time by memoryfull continuous time. Finally, we give algorithms for computing this bisimulation not only for finite but also for classes of uncountably infinite systems. acknowledgement: This work is supported by the EU 7th Framework Programme under grant agreements 295261 (MEALS) and 318490 (SENSATION), Czech Science Foundation under grant agreement P202/12/G061, the DFG Transregional Collaborative Research Centre SFB/TR 14 AVACS, and by the CAS/SAFEA International Partnership Program for Creative Research Teams. alternative_title: - LNCS author: - first_name: Holger full_name: Hermanns, Holger last_name: Hermanns - first_name: Jan full_name: Krčál, Jan last_name: Krčál - first_name: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 citation: ama: 'Hermanns H, Krčál J, Kretinsky J.

A sufficient condition for defining a CTMC over the aggregates is presented as a variant of weak lumpability, which also characterizes that the measure over the original process can be recovered from that of the aggregated one. We show how the applicability of de-aggregation depends on the initial distribution. The application section is devoted to illustrate how the developed theory aids in reducing CTMC models of biochemical systems particularly in connection to protein-protein interactions. We assume that the model is written by a biologist in form of site-graph-rewrite rules. Site-graph-rewrite rules compactly express that, often, only a local context of a protein (instead of a full molecular species) needs to be in a certain configuration in order to trigger a reaction event. This observation leads to suitable aggregate Markov chains with smaller state spaces, thereby providing sufficient reduction in computational complexity.

This article addresses synthesis of robust reactive systems from temporal specifications. Existing methods allow arbitrary behavior if assumptions in the specification are violated. To overcome this, we define two robustness notions, combine them, and show how to enforce them in synthesis. The first notion applies to safety properties: If safety assumptions are violated temporarily, we require that the system recovers to normal operation with as few errors as possible. The second notion requires that, if liveness assumptions are violated, as many guarantees as possible should be fulfilled nevertheless. We present a synthesis procedure achieving this for the important class of GR(1) specifications, and establish complexity bounds.

More precisely, the weight in the i-th position of the run is divided by λi, where the discount factor λ is a fixed rational number greater than 1. The value of a word is the minimal value of the automaton runs on it. Discounted summation is a common and useful measuring scheme, especially for infinite sequences, reflecting the assumption that earlier weights are more important than later weights. Unfortunately, determinization of NDAs, which is often essential in formal verification, is, in general, not possible. We provide positive news, showing that every NDA with an integral discount factor is determinizable. We complete the picture by proving that the integers characterize exactly the discount factors that guarantee determinizability: for every nonintegral rational discount factor λ, there is a nondeterminizable λ-NDA. We also prove that the class of NDAs with integral discount factors enjoys closure under the algebraic operations min, max, addition, and subtraction, which is not the case for general NDAs nor for deterministic NDAs. For general NDAs, we look into approximate determinization, which is always possible as the influence of a word''s suffix decays. We show that the naive approach, of unfolding the automaton computations up to a sufficient level, is doubly exponential in the discount factor. We provide an alternative construction for approximate determinization, which is singly exponential in the discount factor, in the precision, and in the number of states. We also prove matching lower bounds, showing that the exponential dependency on each of these three parameters cannot be avoided.

Current methods, using weighted transition systems or energy games, model the energy source as an ideal resource whose status is characterized by one number, namely the amount of remaining energy. Real batteries, however, exhibit behaviors that can deviate substantially from an ideal energy resource. Based on a discretization of a standard continuous battery model, we introduce battery transition systems. In this model, a battery is viewed as consisting of two parts-the available-charge tank and the bound-charge tank. Any charge or discharge is applied to the available-charge tank. Over time, the energy from each tank diffuses to the other tank. Battery transition systems are infinite state systems that, being not well-structured, fall into no decidable class that is known to us. Nonetheless, we are able to prove that the !-regular modelchecking problem is decidable for battery transition systems. We also present a case study on the verification of control programs for energy-constrained semi-autonomous robots. author: - first_name: Udi full_name: Boker, Udi id: 31E297B6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Boker - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Arjun full_name: Radhakrishna, Arjun id: 3B51CAC4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Radhakrishna citation: ama: 'Boker U, Henzinger TA, Radhakrishna A.
