text: We present XSpeed a parallel state-space exploration algorithm for continuous
systems with linear dynamics and nondeterministic inputs. 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.

text: Quantitative extensions of temporal logics have recently attracted significant
attention. 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.

text: We propose a flexible exchange format for ω-automata, as typically used in
formal verification, and implement support for it in a range of established tools.
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.

text: Multiaffine hybrid automata (MHA) represent a powerful formalism to model
complex dynamical systems. This formalism is particularly suited for the representation
of biological systems which often exhibit highly non-linear behavior. In this
paper, we consider the problem of parameter identification for MHA. We present
an abstraction of MHA based on linear hybrid automata, which can be analyzed by
the SpaceEx model checker. This abstraction enables a precise handling of time-dependent
properties. We demonstrate the potential of our approach on a model of a genetic
regulatory network and a myocyte model.

text: 'In this paper, we present the first steps toward a runtime verification framework
for monitoring hybrid and cyber-physical systems (CPS) development tools based
on randomized differential testing. 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.'

text: Continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) models have become a central tool for
understanding the dynamics of complex reaction networks and the importance of
stochasticity in the underlying biochemical processes. 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.

text: Planning in hybrid domains poses a special challenge due to the involved mixed
discrete-continuous dynamics. 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.

text: We consider the satisfiability problem for modal logic over first-order definable
classes of frames.We confirm the conjecture from Hemaspaandra and Schnoor [2008]
that modal logic is decidable over classes definable by universal Horn formulae.
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.

text: Computing an approximation of the reachable states of a hybrid system is a
challenge, mainly because overapproximating the solutions of ODEs with a finite
number of sets does not scale well. 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.

text: A number of powerful and scalable hybrid systems model checkers have recently
emerged. 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.

text: 'In mean-payoff games, the objective of the protagonist is to ensure that
the limit average of an infinite sequence of numeric weights is nonnegative. In
energy games, the objective is to ensure that the running sum of weights is always
nonnegative. Multi-mean-payoff and multi-energy games replace individual weights
by tuples, and the limit average (resp., running sum) of each coordinate must
be (resp., remain) nonnegative. We prove finite-memory determinacy of multi-energy
games and show inter-reducibility of multi-mean-payoff and multi-energy games
for finite-memory strategies. We improve the computational complexity for solving
both classes with finite-memory strategies: we prove coNP-completeness improving
the previous known EXPSPACE bound. For memoryless strategies, we show that deciding
the existence of a winning strategy for the protagonist is NP-complete. We present
the first solution of multi-mean-payoff games with infinite-memory strategies:
we show that mean-payoff-sup objectives can be decided in NP∩coNP, whereas mean-payoff-inf
objectives are coNP-complete.'

text: In the standard framework for worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis of
programs, the main data structure is a single instance of integer linear programming
(ILP) that represents the whole program. 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.

text: Modal transition systems (MTS) is a well-studied specification formalism of
reactive systems supporting a step-wise refinement methodology. 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.

text: In this paper, we present a method for reducing a regular, discrete-time Markov
chain (DTMC) to another DTMC with a given, typically much smaller number of states.
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.

text: Continuous-time Markov chains are commonly used in practice for modeling biochemical
reaction networks in which the inherent randomness of themolecular interactions
cannot be ignored. 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.

text: We provide a framework for compositional and iterative design and verification
of systems with quantitative information, such as rewards, time or energy. 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.

text: "We present a method and a tool for generating succinct representations of
sets of concurrent traces. 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."

text: 'Linearizability of concurrent data structures is usually proved by monolithic
simulation arguments relying on the identification of the so-called linearization
points. 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. '

text: 'We consider two-player zero-sum games on graphs. 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. '

text: 'The traditional synthesis question given a specification asks for the automatic
construction of a system that satisfies the specification, whereas often there
exists a preference order among the different systems that satisfy the given specification.
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.'

text: 'We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple limit-average
(or mean-payoff) objectives. 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. '

text: Recently there has been a significant effort to handle quantitative properties
in formal verification and synthesis. While weighted automata over finite and
infinite words provide a natural and flexible framework to express quantitative
properties, perhaps surprisingly, some basic system properties such as average
response time cannot be expressed using weighted automata, nor in any other know
decidable formalism. In this work, we introduce nested weighted automata as a
natural extension of weighted automata which makes it possible to express important
quantitative properties such as average response time. 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.

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

text: The edit distance between two words w1, w2 is the minimal number of word operations
(letter insertions, deletions, and substitutions) necessary to transform w1 to
w2. The edit distance generalizes to languages L1,L2, where the edit distance
is the minimal number k such that for every word from L1 there exists a word in
L2 with edit distance at most k. We study the edit distance computation problem
between pushdown automata and their subclasses. 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.

text: We extend the theory of input-output conformance with operators for merge
and quotient. The former is useful when testing against multiple requirements
or views. The latter can be used to generate tests for patches of an already tested
system. Both operators can combine systems with different action alphabets, which
is usually the case when constructing complex systems and specifications from
parts, for instance different views as well as newly defined functionality of
a~previous version of the system.

text: 'We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) which are a standard model for
probabilistic systems. We focus on qualitative properties for MDPs that can express
that desired behaviors of the system arise almost-surely (with probability 1)
or with positive probability. 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. '

text: We consider the problem of computing the set of initial states of a dynamical
system such that there exists a control strategy to ensure that the trajectories
satisfy a temporal logic specification with probability 1 (almost-surely). We
focus on discrete-time, stochastic linear dynamics and specifications given as
formulas of the Generalized Reactivity(1) fragment of Linear Temporal Logic over
linear predicates in the states of the system. We propose a solution based on
iterative abstraction-refinement, and turn-based 2-player probabilistic games.
While the theoretical guarantee of our algorithm after any finite number of iterations
is only a partial solution, we show that if our algorithm terminates, then the
result is the set of 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.

text: We present a computer-aided programming approach to concurrency. The approach
allows programmers to program assuming a friendly, non-preemptive scheduler, and
our synthesis procedure inserts synchronization to ensure that the final program
works even with a preemptive scheduler. The correctness specification is implicit,
inferred from the non-preemptive behavior. Let us consider sequences of calls
that the program makes to an external interface. The specification requires that
any such sequence produced under a preemptive scheduler should be included in
the set of 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.

text: The behaviour of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is typically analysed using
simulation-based statistical testing-like methods. 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.

abstract:

text: "For deterministic systems, a counterexample to a property can simply be an
error trace, whereas counterexamples in probabilistic systems are necessarily
more complex. 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."

text: Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms play an important role in ensuring the
reliability of many software applications. 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).

text: 'Probabilistic programs are usual functional or imperative programs with two
added constructs: (1) the ability to draw values at random from distributions,
and (2) the ability to condition values of variables in a program via observations.
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.
We survey current state of the art and speculate on promising directions for future
research.'

text: In this paper we present INTERHORN, a solver for recursion-free Horn clauses.
The main application domain of INTERHORN lies in solving interpolation problems
arising in software verification. We show how a range of interpolation problems,
including path, transition, nested, state/transition and well-founded interpolation
can be handled directly by INTERHORN. By detailing these interpolation problems
and their Horn clause representations, we hope to encourage the emergence of a
common back-end interpolation interface useful for diverse verification tools.

text: Boolean controllers for systems with complex datapaths are often very difficult
to implement correctly, in particular when concurrency is involved. 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.

text: Extensionality axioms are common when reasoning about data collections, such
as arrays and functions in program analysis, or sets in mathematics. 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.

text: We investigate the problem of checking if a finite-state transducer is robust
to uncertainty in its input. 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.

text: We present a formal framework for repairing infinite-state, imperative, sequential
programs, with (possibly recursive) procedures and multiple assertions; the framework
can generate repaired programs by modifying the original erroneous program in
multiple program locations, and can ensure the readability of the repaired program
using user-defined expression templates; the framework also generates a set of
inductive assertions that serve as a proof of correctness of the repaired program.
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.

text: We present a general framework for applying machine-learning algorithms to
the verification of Markov decision processes (MDPs). 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.

text: 'We present a tool for translating LTL formulae into deterministic ω-automata.
It is the first tool that covers the whole LTL that does not use Safra’s determinization
or any of its variants. This leads to smaller automata. There are several outputs
of the tool: firstly, deterministic Rabin automata, which are the standard input
for probabilistic model checking, e.g. for the probabilistic model-checker PRISM;
secondly, deterministic generalized Rabin automata, which can also be used for
probabilistic model checking and are sometimes by orders of magnitude smaller.
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.'

text: In contrast to the usual understanding of probabilistic systems as stochastic
processes, recently these systems have also been regarded as transformers of probabilities.
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.

text: 'We consider a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) whose state space is partitioned
into aggregates, and each aggregate is assigned a probability measure. 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 is further exemplified in two case studies:
simple unbounded polymerization and early EGFR/insulin crosstalk.'

text: 'Systems should not only be correct but also robust in the sense that they
behave reasonably in unexpected situations. 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. We also present an implementation
of a special case of robustness, and show experimental results.'

text: We present a new algorithm to construct a (generalized) deterministic Rabin
automaton for an LTL formula φ. The automaton is the product of a master automaton
and an array of slave automata, one for each G-subformula of φ. The slave automaton
for G ψ is in charge of recognizing whether FG ψ holds. As opposed to standard
determinization procedures, the states of all our automata have a clear logical
structure, which allows for various optimizations. Our construction subsumes former
algorithms for fragments of LTL. Experimental results show improvement in the
sizes of the resulting automata compared to existing methods.

text: ' A discounted-sum automaton (NDA) is a nondeterministic finite automaton
with edge weights, valuing a run by the discounted sum of visited edge weights.
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. All our results
hold equally for automata over finite words and for automata over infinite words. '

text: The analysis of the energy consumption of software is an important goal for
quantitative formal methods. 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.
