text: "Most specification languages express only qualitative constraints. However,
among two implementations that satisfy a given specification, one may be preferred
to another. For example, if a specification asks that every request is followed
by a response, one may prefer an implementation that generates responses quickly
but does not generate unnecessary responses. We use quantitative properties to
measure the “goodness” of an implementation. Using games with corresponding quantitative
objectives, we can synthesize “optimal” implementations, which are preferred among
the set of possible implementations that satisfy a given specification.\r\nIn
particular, we show how automata with lexicographic mean-payoff conditions can
be used to express many interesting quantitative properties for reactive systems.
In this framework, the synthesis of optimal implementations requires the solution
of lexicographic mean-payoff games (for safety requirements), and the solution
of games with both lexicographic mean-payoff and parity objectives (for liveness
requirements). We present algorithms for solving both kinds of novel graph games."
