--- _id: '6005' abstract: - lang: eng text: Network games are widely used as a model for selfish resource-allocation problems. In the classicalmodel, each player selects a path connecting her source and target vertices. The cost of traversingan edge depends on theload; namely, number of players that traverse it. Thus, it abstracts the factthat different users may use a resource at different times and for different durations, which playsan important role in determining the costs of the users in reality. For example, when transmittingpackets in a communication network, routing traffic in a road network, or processing a task in aproduction system, actual sharing and congestion of resources crucially depends on time.In [13], we introducedtimed network games, which add a time component to network games.Each vertexvin the network is associated with a cost function, mapping the load onvto theprice that a player pays for staying invfor one time unit with this load. Each edge in thenetwork is guarded by the time intervals in which it can be traversed, which forces the players tospend time in the vertices. In this work we significantly extend the way time can be referred toin timed network games. In the model we study, the network is equipped withclocks, and, as intimed automata, edges are guarded by constraints on the values of the clocks, and their traversalmay involve a reset of some clocks. We argue that the stronger model captures many realisticnetworks. The addition of clocks breaks the techniques we developed in [13] and we developnew techniques in order to show that positive results on classic network games carry over to thestronger timed setting. alternative_title: - LIPIcs article_number: '23' 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.

Asynchronous programs, on the other hand, are difficult to specify because there are side effects due to pending computation scheduled as a result of the invocation of an operation. They are also difficult to verify because of the large number of possible interleavings of concurrent computation threads. We present synchronization, a new proof rule that simplifies the verification of asynchronous programs by introducing the fiction, for proof purposes, that asynchronous operations complete synchronously. Synchronization summarizes an asynchronous computation as immediate atomic effect. Modular verification is enabled via pending asynchronous calls in atomic summaries, and a complementary proof rule that eliminates pending asynchronous calls when components and their specifications are composed. We evaluate synchronization in the context of a multi-layer refinement verification methodology on a collection of benchmark programs. alternative_title: - LIPIcs article_number: '21' author: - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Kragl, Bernhard id: 320FC952-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kragl orcid: 0000-0001-7745-9117 - first_name: Shaz full_name: Qadeer, Shaz last_name: Qadeer - 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: 'Kragl B, Qadeer S, Henzinger TA.

While finite-state monitors have been studied extensively, in practice, monitoring software also makes use of unbounded memory. We define a model of automata equipped with integer-valued registers which can execute only a bounded number of instructions between consecutive events, and thus can form the theoretical basis for the study of infinite-state monitors. We classify these register monitors according to the number k of available registers, and the type of register instructions. In stark contrast to the theory of computability for register machines, we prove that for every k 1, monitors with k + 1 counters (with instruction set 〈+1, =〉) are strictly more expressive than monitors with k counters. We also show that adder monitors (with instruction set 〈1, +, =〉) are strictly more expressive than counter monitors, but are complete for monitoring all computable safety -languages for k = 6. Real-time monitors are further required to signal the occurrence of a safety violation as soon as it occurs. The expressiveness hierarchy for counter monitors carries over to real-time monitors. We then show that 2 adders cannot simulate 3 counters in real-time. Finally, we show that real-time adder monitors with inequalities are as expressive as real-time Turing machines. alternative_title: - ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Thomas full_name: Ferrere, Thomas id: 40960E6E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ferrere orcid: 0000-0001-5199-3143 - 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: Ege full_name: Saraç, Ege last_name: Saraç citation: ama: 'Ferrere T, Henzinger TA, Saraç E.

Given a densetime real-valued signal w and a parameterized temporal logic formula φ, compute the subset of the parameter space that renders the formula satisfied by the signal. Unlike previous solutions, which were based on search in the parameter space or quantifier elimination, our procedure works recursively on φ and computes the evolution over time of the set of valid parameter assignments. This procedure is similar to that of monitoring or computing the robustness of φ relative to w. Our implementation and experiments demonstrate that this approach can work well in practice. alternative_title: - HSCC Proceedings article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alexey full_name: Bakhirkin, Alexey last_name: Bakhirkin - first_name: Thomas full_name: Ferrere, Thomas id: 40960E6E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ferrere orcid: 0000-0001-5199-3143 - first_name: Oded full_name: Maler, Oded last_name: Maler citation: ama: 'Bakhirkin A, Ferrere T, Maler O.

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

A layered concurrent program specifies a sequence of connected concurrent programs, from most concrete to most abstract, such that common parts of different programs are written exactly once. These programs are expressed in the ordinary syntax of imperative concurrent programs using gated atomic actions, sequencing, choice, and (recursive) procedure calls. Each concurrent program is automatically extracted from the layered program. We reduce refinement to the safety of a sequence of concurrent checker programs, one each to justify the connection between every two consecutive concurrent programs. These checker programs are also automatically extracted from the layered program. Layered concurrent programs have been implemented in the CIVL verifier which has been successfully used for the verification of several complex concurrent programs. alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Kragl, Bernhard id: 320FC952-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kragl orcid: 0000-0001-7745-9117 - first_name: Shaz full_name: Qadeer, Shaz last_name: Qadeer citation: ama: 'Kragl B, Qadeer S.

This laborious task essentially requires expert knowledge of the system in order to discover the cause of the fault. In this context, we propose a new procedure that AIDS designers in debugging Simulink/Stateflow hybrid system models, guided by Signal Temporal Logic (STL) specifications. The proposed method relies on three main ingredients: (1) a monitoring and a trace diagnostics procedure that checks whether a tested behavior satisfies or violates an STL specification, localizes time segments and interfaces variables contributing to the property violations; (2) a slicing procedure that maps these observable behavior segments to the internal states and transitions of the Simulink model; and (3) a spectrum-based fault-localization method that combines the previous analysis from multiple tests to identify the internal states and/or transitions that are the most likely to explain the fault. We demonstrate the applicability of our approach on two Simulink models from the automotive and the avionics domain.' acknowledgement: This work was partially supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under grants S11402-N23 and S11405-N23 (RiSE/SHiNE), the CPS/IoT project (HRSM), the EU ICT COST Action IC1402 on Run-time Verification beyond Monitoring (ARVI), the AMASS project (ECSEL 692474), and the ENABLE-S3 project (ECSEL 692455).

The variant of TPTL we consider extends linear temporal logic (LTL) with clock variables and reset quantifiers, providing a mechanism to specify real-time constraints. We first describe a general monitoring algorithm based on an exhaustive computation of the set of satisfying clock assignments as a finite union of zones. We then propose a specialized monitoring algorithm for the one-variable case using a partition of the time domain based on the notion of region equivalence, whose complexity is linear in the length of the signal, thereby generalizing a known result regarding the monitoring of metric temporal logic (MTL). The region and zone representations of time constraints are known from timed automata verification and can also be used in the discrete-time case. Our prototype implementation appears to outperform previous discrete-time implementations of TPTL monitoring, alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Adrian full_name: Elgyütt, Adrian id: 4A2E9DBA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Elgyütt - first_name: Thomas full_name: Ferrere, Thomas id: 40960E6E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ferrere orcid: 0000-0001-5199-3143 - 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: 'Elgyütt A, Ferrere T, Henzinger TA.

As a pattern specification language, we use timed regular expressions, a formalism well-suited for expressing properties of concurrent asynchronous behaviors embedded in metric time. We construct a timed automaton accepting the timed language denoted by ϕ and modify it slightly for the purpose of matching. We then apply zone-based reachability computation to this automaton while it reads ω, and retrieve all the matching segments from the results. Since the procedure is automaton based, it can be applied to patterns specified by other formalisms such as timed temporal logics reducible to timed automata or directly encoded as timed automata. The procedure has been implemented and its performance on synthetic examples is demonstrated. alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alexey full_name: Bakhirkin, Alexey last_name: Bakhirkin - first_name: Thomas full_name: Ferrere, Thomas id: 40960E6E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ferrere orcid: 0000-0001-5199-3143 - first_name: Dejan full_name: Nickovic, Dejan last_name: Nickovic - first_name: Oded full_name: Maler, Oded last_name: Maler - first_name: Eugene full_name: Asarin, Eugene last_name: Asarin citation: ama: 'Bakhirkin A, Ferrere T, Nickovic D, Maler O, Asarin E.

We study pMDPs with reachability objectives where the parameter values are unknown and impossible to measure directly during execution, but there is a probability distribution known over the parameter values. We study for the first time computing parameter-independent strategies that are expectation optimal, i.e., optimize the expected reachability probability under the probability distribution over the parameters. We present an encoding of our problem to partially observable MDPs (POMDPs), i.e., a reduction of our problem to computing optimal strategies in POMDPs. We evaluate our method experimentally on several benchmarks: a motivating (repeated) learner model; a series of benchmarks of varying configurations of a robot moving on a grid; and a consensus protocol.' alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Sebastian full_name: Arming, Sebastian last_name: Arming - first_name: Ezio full_name: Bartocci, Ezio last_name: Bartocci - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Joost P full_name: Katoen, Joost P id: 4524F760-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Katoen - first_name: Ana full_name: Sokolova, Ana last_name: Sokolova citation: ama: 'Arming S, Bartocci E, Chatterjee K, Katoen JP, Sokolova A.

The common approach to tackle this problem is to perform a numerical integration over a given time horizon based on Taylor expansion and interval arithmetic. However, this method results to be very conservative when there is a large difference in speed between trajectories as time progresses. In this paper, we propose to use combinations of barrier functions, which we call piecewise barrier tube (PBT), to over-approximate flowpipe. The basic idea of PBT is that for each segment of a flowpipe, a coarse box which is big enough to contain the segment is constructed using sampled simulation and then in the box we compute by linear programming a set of barrier functions (called barrier tube or BT for short) which work together to form a tube surrounding the flowpipe. The benefit of using PBT is that (1) BT is independent of time and hence can avoid being stretched and deformed by time; and (2) a small number of BTs can form a tight over-approximation for the flowpipe, which means that the computation required to decide whether the BTs intersect the unsafe set can be reduced significantly. We implemented a prototype called PBTS in C++. Experiments on some benchmark systems show that our approach is effective. acknowledgement: 'Austrian Science Fund FWF: S11402-N23, S11405-N23, Z211-N32' alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No 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: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 citation: ama: 'Kong H, Bartocci E, Henzinger TA.

First, the generic models and safety requirements described in International Electrotechnical Commission Standard 61375 are formalized as time automata and timed computation tree logic formulas, respectively. With model checking tool Uppaal, we verify whether or not the constructed timed automata satisfy the formulas and several logic inconsistencies in the original standard are detected and corrected. Then, we apply the code generation tool Times to generate C code from the verified model, which is later synthesized into a real MVBC chip, with some handwriting glue code. Furthermore, the runtime verification tool RMOR is applied on the integrated code, to verify some safety requirements that cannot be formalized on the timed automata. For evaluation, we compare the proposed approach with existing MVBC design methods, such as BeagleBone, Galsblock, and Simulink. Experiments show that more ambiguousness or bugs in the standard are detected during Uppaal verification, and the generated code of Times outperforms the C code generated by others in terms of the synthesized binary code size. The errors in the standard have been confirmed and the resulting MVBC has been deployed in the real train communication network. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Yu full_name: Jiang, Yu last_name: Jiang - first_name: Han full_name: Liu, Han last_name: Liu - first_name: Huobing full_name: Song, Huobing 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: Rui full_name: Wang, Rui last_name: Wang - first_name: Yong full_name: Guan, Yong last_name: Guan - first_name: Lui full_name: Sha, Lui last_name: Sha citation: ama: Jiang Y, Liu H, Song H, et al.

Promising abstraction techniques usually employ interval methods or template polyhedra. Interval methods account for dense time and guarantee soundness, and there are interval-based tools that overapproximate affine flowpipes. But interval methods impose bounded and rigid shapes, which make refinement expensive and fixpoint detection difficult. Template polyhedra, on the other hand, can be adapted flexibly and can be unbounded, but sound template refinement for unbounded reachability analysis has been implemented only for systems with piecewise constant dynamics. We capitalize on the advantages of both techniques, combining interval arithmetic and template polyhedra, using the former to abstract time and the latter to abstract space. During a CEGAR loop, whenever a spurious error trajectory is found, we compute additional space constraints and split time intervals, and use these space-time interpolants to eliminate the counterexample. Space-time interpolation offers a lazy, flexible framework for increasing precision while guaranteeing soundness, both for error avoidance and fixpoint detection. To the best of out knowledge, this is the first abstraction refinement scheme for the reachability analysis over unbounded and dense time of affine hybrid systems, which is both sound and automatic. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm with several benchmark examples, which cannot be handled by other tools. alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - 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: 'Frehse G, Giacobbe M, Henzinger TA.

In particular, graph games with ω -regular winning conditions, specified as parity objectives, which can express properties such as safety, liveness, fairness, are the basic framework for verification and synthesis of reactive systems. The decisions for a player at various states of the graph game are represented as strategies. While the algorithmic problem for solving graph games with parity objectives has been widely studied, the most prominent data-structure for strategy representation in graph games has been binary decision diagrams (BDDs). However, due to the bit-level representation, BDDs do not retain the inherent flavor of the decisions of strategies, and are notoriously hard to minimize to obtain succinct representation. In this work we propose decision trees for strategy representation in graph games. Decision trees retain the flavor of decisions of strategies and allow entropy-based minimization to obtain succinct trees. However, decision trees work in settings (e.g., probabilistic models) where errors are allowed, and overfitting of data is typically avoided. In contrast, for strategies in graph games no error is allowed, and the decision tree must represent the entire strategy. We develop new techniques to extend decision trees to overcome the above obstacles, while retaining the entropy-based techniques to obtain succinct trees. We have implemented our techniques to extend the existing decision tree solvers. We present experimental results for problems in reactive synthesis to show that decision trees provide a much more efficient data-structure for strategy representation as compared to BDDs. alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No 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: Jan full_name: Kretinsky, Jan id: 44CEF464-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kretinsky orcid: 0000-0002-8122-2881 - first_name: Viktor full_name: Toman, Viktor id: 3AF3DA7C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Toman orcid: 0000-0001-9036-063X citation: ama: 'Brázdil T, Chatterjee K, Kretinsky J, Toman V.

In real life, hardware and software systems are rarely constructed from scratch. Rather, a system is typically constructed from a library of components. Lustig and Vardi formalized this intuition and studied LTL synthesis from component libraries. In real life, designers seek optimal systems. In this paper we add optimality considerations to the setting. We distinguish between quality considerations (for example, size - the smaller a system is, the better it is), and pricing (for example, the payment to the company who manufactured the component). We study the problem of designing systems with minimal quality-cost and price. A key point is that while the quality cost is individual - the choices of a designer are independent of choices made by other designers that use the same library, pricing gives rise to a resource-allocation game - designers that use the same component share its price, with the share being proportional to the number of uses (a component can be used several times in a design). We study both closed and open settings, and in both we solve the problem of finding an optimal design. In a setting with multiple designers, we also study the game-theoretic problems of the induced resource-allocation game. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Guy full_name: Avni, Guy id: 463C8BC2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Avni orcid: 0000-0001-5588-8287 - first_name: Orna full_name: Kupferman, Orna last_name: Kupferman citation: ama: Avni G, Kupferman O.

In this paper, we propose a formal framework for specifying and monitoring rich temporal properties of real-valued signals. We introduce signal first-order logic (SFO) as a specification language that combines first-order logic with linear-real arithmetic and unary function symbols interpreted as piecewise-linear signals. We first show that while the satisfiability problem for SFO is undecidable, its membership and monitoring problems are decidable. We develop an offline monitoring procedure for SFO that has polynomial complexity in the size of the input trace and the specification, for a fixed number of quantifiers and function symbols. We show that the algorithm has computation time linear in the size of the input trace for the important fragment of bounded-response specifications interpreted over input traces with finite variability. We can use our results to extend signal temporal logic with first-order quantifiers over time and value parameters, while preserving its efficient monitoring. We finally demonstrate the practical appeal of our logic through a case study in the micro-electronics domain. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alexey full_name: Bakhirkin, Alexey last_name: Bakhirkin - first_name: Thomas full_name: Ferrere, Thomas id: 40960E6E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ferrere orcid: 0000-0001-5199-3143 - 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: Deian full_name: Nickovicl, Deian last_name: Nickovicl citation: ama: 'Bakhirkin A, Ferrere T, Henzinger TA, Nickovicl D.

Traditionally, the goal has been to obtain policies that optimize the expectation of the discounted-sum payoff. A key drawback of the expectation measure is that even low probability events with extreme payoff can significantly affect the expectation, and thus the obtained policies are not necessarily risk-averse. An alternate approach is to optimize the probability that the payoff is above a certain threshold, which allows obtaining risk-averse policies, but ignores optimization of the expectation. We consider the expectation optimization with probabilistic guarantee (EOPG) problem, where the goal is to optimize the expectation ensuring that the payoff is above a given threshold with at least a specified probability. We present several results on the EOPG problem, including the first algorithm to solve it. acknowledgement: "This research was supported by the Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) grant ICT15-003; Austrian Science Fund (FWF): S11407-N23(RiSE/SHiNE);and an ERC Start Grant (279307:Graph Games).\r\n" 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: Adrian full_name: Elgyütt, Adrian id: 4A2E9DBA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Elgyütt - first_name: Petr full_name: Novotny, Petr id: 3CC3B868-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Novotny - first_name: Owen full_name: Rouillé, Owen last_name: Rouillé citation: ama: 'Chatterjee K, Elgyütt A, Novotný P, Rouillé O.

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