text: We study Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple limit-average (or
mean-payoff) functions. We consider two different objectives, namely, expectation
and satisfaction objectives. Given an MDP with k reward functions, in the expectation
objective the goal is to maximize the expected limit-average value, and in the
satisfaction objective the goal is to maximize the probability of runs such that
the limit-average value stays above a given vector. We show that under the expectation
objective, in contrast to the single-objective case, both randomization and memory
are necessary for strategies, and that finite-memory randomized strategies are
sufficient. Under the satisfaction objective, in contrast to the single-objective
case, infinite memory is necessary for strategies, and that randomized memoryless
strategies are sufficient for epsilon-approximation, for all epsilon>;0. We
further prove that the decision problems for both expectation and satisfaction
objectives can be solved in polynomial time and the trade-off curve (Pareto curve)
can be epsilon-approximated in time polynomial in the size of the MDP and 1/epsilon,
and exponential in the number of reward functions, for all epsilon>;0. Our
results also reveal flaws in previous work for MDPs with multiple mean-payoff
functions under the expectation objective, correct the flaws and obtain improved
results.

text: 'The class of omega-regular languages provides a robust specification language
in verification. Every omega-regular condition can be decomposed into a safety
part and a liveness part. The liveness part ensures that something good happens
"eventually". Finitary liveness was proposed by Alur and Henzinger as
a stronger formulation of liveness. It requires that there exists an unknown,
fixed bound b such that something good happens within b transitions. In this work
we consider automata with finitary acceptance conditions defined by finitary Buchi,
parity and Streett languages. We study languages expressible by such automata:
we give their topological complexity and present a regular-expression characterization.
We compare the expressive power of finitary automata and give optimal algorithms
for classical decisions questions. We show that the finitary languages are Sigma
2-complete; we present a complete picture of the expressive power of various classes
of automata with finitary and infinitary acceptance conditions; we show that the
languages defined by finitary parity automata exactly characterize the star-free
fragment of omega B-regular languages; and we show that emptiness is NLOGSPACE-complete
and universality as well as language inclusion are PSPACE-complete for finitary
parity and Streett automata.'

text: We study synthesis of controllers for real-time systems, where the objective
is to stay in a given safe set. The problem is solved by obtaining winning strategies
in the setting of concurrent two-player timed automaton games with safety objectives.
To prevent a player from winning by blocking time, we restrict each player to
strategies that ensure that the player cannot be responsible for causing a zeno
run. We construct winning strategies for the controller which require access only
to (1) the system clocks (thus, controllers which require their own internal infinitely
precise clocks are not necessary), and (2) a linear (in the number of clocks)
number of memory bits. Precisely, we show that for safety objectives, a memory
of size (3 · |C|+lg(|C|+1)) bits suffices for winning controller strategies, where
C is the set of clocks of the timed automaton game, significantly improving the
previous known exponential bound. We also settle the open question of whether
winning region controller strategies require memory for safety objectives by showing
with an example the necessity of memory for region strategies to win for safety
objectives.

text: 'Games on graphs provide a natural model for reactive non-terminating systems.
In such games, the interaction of two players on an arena results in an infinite
path that describes a run of the system. Different settings are used to model
various open systems in computer science, as for instance turn-based or concurrent
moves, and deterministic or stochastic transitions. In this paper, we are interested
in turn-based games, and specifically in deterministic parity games and stochastic
reachability games (also known as simple stochastic games). We present a simple,
direct and efficient reduction from deterministic parity games to simple stochastic
games: it yields an arena whose size is linear up to a logarithmic factor in size
of the original arena.'

text: A controller for a discrete game with ω-regular objectives requires attention
if, intuitively, it requires measuring the state and switching from the current
control action. Minimum attention controllers are preferable in modern shared
implementations of cyber-physical systems because they produce the least burden
on system resources such as processor time or communication bandwidth. We give
algorithms to compute minimum attention controllers for ω-regular objectives in
imperfect information discrete two-player games. We show a polynomial-time reduction
from minimum attention controller synthesis to synthesis of controllers for mean-payoff
parity objectives in games of incomplete information. This gives an optimal EXPTIME-complete
synthesis algorithm. We show that the minimum attention controller problem is
decidable for infinite state systems with finite bisimulation quotients. In particular,
the problem is decidable for timed and rectangular automata.

text: In two-player games on graph, the players construct an infinite path through
the game graph and get a reward computed by a payoff function over infinite paths.
Over weighted graphs, the typical and most studied payoff functions compute the
limit-average or the discounted sum of the rewards along the path. Besides their
simple definition, these two payoff functions enjoy the property that memoryless
optimal strategies always exist. In an attempt to construct other simple payoff
functions, we define a class of payoff functions which compute an (infinite) weighted
average of the rewards. This new class contains both the limit-average and the
discounted sum functions, and we show that they are the only members of this class
which induce memoryless optimal strategies, showing that there is essentially
no other simple payoff functions.

text: We consider two-player graph games whose objectives are request-response condition,
i.e conjunctions of conditions of the form "if a state with property Rq is visited,
then later a state with property Rp is visited". The winner of such games can
be decided in EXPTIME and the problem is known to be NP-hard. In this paper, we
close this gap by showing that this problem is, in fact, EXPTIME-complete. We
show that the problem becomes PSPACE-complete if we only consider games played
on DAGs, and NP-complete or PTIME-complete if there is only one player (depending
on whether he wants to enforce or spoil the request-response condition). We also
present near-optimal bounds on the memory needed to design winning strategies
for each player, in each case.

text: In this paper, we investigate the computational complexity of quantitative
information flow (QIF) problems. Information-theoretic quantitative relaxations
of noninterference (based on Shannon entropy)have been introduced to enable more
fine-grained reasoning about programs in situations where limited information
flow is acceptable. The QIF bounding problem asks whether the information flow
in a given program is bounded by a constant $d$. Our first result is that the
QIF bounding problem is PSPACE-complete. The QIF memoryless synthesis problem
asks whether it is possible to resolve nondeterministic choices in a given partial
program in such a way that in the resulting deterministic program, the quantitative
information flow is bounded by a given constant $d$. Our second result is that
the QIF memoryless synthesis problem is also EXPTIME-complete. The QIF memoryless
synthesis problem generalizes to QIF general synthesis problem which does not
impose the memoryless requirement (that is, by allowing the synthesized program
to have more variables then the original partial program). Our third result is
that the QIF general synthesis problem is EXPTIME-hard.

text: We present the tool Quasy, a quantitative synthesis tool. Quasy 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. The user can choose between a system that satisfies and
optimizes the specifications (a) under all possible environment behaviors or (b)
under the most-likely environment behaviors given as a probability distribution
on the possible input sequences. Quasy solves these two quantitative synthesis
problems by reduction to instances of 2-player games and Markov Decision Processes
(MDPs) with quantitative winning objectives. Quasy can also be seen as a game
solver for quantitative games. Most notable, it can solve lexicographic mean-payoff
games with 2 players, MDPs with mean-payoff objectives, and ergodic MDPs with
mean-payoff parity objectives.

text: 'We present an algorithmic method for the quantitative, performance-aware
synthesis of concurrent programs. The input consists of a nondeterministic partial
program and of a parametric performance model. The nondeterminism allows the programmer
to omit which (if any) synchronization construct is used at a particular program
location. The performance model, specified as a weighted automaton, can capture
system architectures by assigning different costs to actions such as locking,
context switching, and memory and cache accesses. The quantitative synthesis problem
is to automatically resolve the nondeterminism of the partial program so that
both correctness is guaranteed and performance is optimal. As is standard for
shared memory concurrency, correctness is formalized "specification free",
in particular as race freedom or deadlock freedom. For worst-case (average-case)
performance, we show that the problem can be reduced to 2-player graph games (with
probabilistic transitions) with quantitative objectives. While we show, using
game-theoretic methods, that the synthesis problem is Nexp-complete, we present
an algorithmic method and an implementation that works efficiently for concurrent
programs and performance models of practical interest. We have implemented a prototype
tool and used it to synthesize finite-state concurrent programs that exhibit different
programming patterns, for several performance models representing different architectures. '

text: We consider two-player games played in real time on game structures with clocks
where the objectives of players are described using parity conditions. The games
are concurrent in that at each turn, both players independently propose a time
delay and an action, and the action with the shorter delay is chosen. To prevent
a player from winning by blocking time, we restrict each player to play strategies
that ensure that the player cannot be responsible for causing a zeno run. First,
we present an efficient reduction of these games to turn-based (i.e., not concurrent)
finite-state (i.e., untimed) parity games. Our reduction improves the best known
complexity for solving timed parity games. Moreover, the rich class of algorithms
for classical parity games can now be applied to timed parity games. The states
of the resulting game are based on clock regions of the original game, and the
state space of the finite game is linear in the size of the region graph. Second,
we consider two restricted classes of strategies for the player that represents
the controller in a real-time synthesis problem, namely, limit-robust and bounded-robust
winning strategies. Using a limit-robust winning strategy, the controller cannot
choose an exact real-valued time delay but must allow for some nonzero jitter
in each of its actions. If there is a given lower bound on the jitter, then the
strategy is bounded-robust winning. We show that exact strategies are more powerful
than limit-robust strategies, which are more powerful than bounded-robust winning
strategies for any bound. For both kinds of robust strategies, we present efficient
reductions to standard timed automaton games. These reductions provide algorithms
for the synthesis of robust real-time controllers.

text: There is recently a significant effort to add quantitative objectives to formal
verification and synthesis. We introduce and investigate the extension of temporal
logics with quantitative atomic assertions, aiming for a general and flexible
framework for quantitative-oriented specifications. In the heart of quantitative
objectives lies the accumulation of values along a computation. It is either the
accumulated summation, as with the energy objectives, or the accumulated average,
as with the mean-payoff objectives. We investigate the extension of temporal logics
with the prefix-accumulation assertions Sum(v) ≥ c and Avg(v) ≥ c, where v is
a numeric variable of the system, c is a constant rational number, and Sum(v)
and Avg(v) denote the accumulated sum and average of the values of v from the
beginning of the computation up to the current point of time. We also allow the
path-accumulation assertions LimInfAvg(v) ≥ c and LimSupAvg(v) ≥ c, referring
to the average value along an entire computation. We study the border of decidability
for extensions of various temporal logics. In particular, we show that extending
the fragment of CTL that has only the EX, EF, AX, and AG temporal modalities by
prefix-accumulation assertions and extending LTL with path-accumulation assertions,
result in temporal logics whose model-checking problem is decidable. The extended
logics allow to significantly extend the currently known energy and mean-payoff
objectives. Moreover, the prefix-accumulation assertions may be refined with "controlled-accumulation",
allowing, for example, to specify constraints on the average waiting time between
a request and a grant. On the negative side, we show that the fragment we point
to is, in a sense, the maximal logic whose extension with prefix-accumulation
assertions permits a decidable model-checking procedure. Extending a temporal
logic that has the EG or EU modalities, and in particular CTL and LTL, makes the
problem undecidable.

text: "In two-player finite-state stochastic games of partial obser- vation on graphs,
in every state of the graph, the players simultaneously choose an action, and
their joint actions determine a probability distri- bution over the successor
states. The game is played for infinitely many rounds and thus the players construct
an infinite path in the graph. We consider reachability objectives where the first
player tries to ensure a target state to be visited almost-surely (i.e., with
probability 1) or pos- itively (i.e., with positive probability), no matter the
strategy of the second player.\r\n\r\nWe classify such games according to the
information and to the power of randomization available to the players. On the
basis of information, the game can be one-sided with either (a) player 1, or (b)
player 2 having partial observation (and the other player has perfect observation),
or two- sided with (c) both players having partial observation. On the basis of
randomization, (a) the players may not be allowed to use randomization (pure strategies),
or (b) they may choose a probability distribution over actions but the actual
random choice is external and not visible to the player (actions invisible), or
(c) they may use full randomization.\r\n\r\nOur main results for pure strategies
are as follows: (1) For one-sided games with player 2 perfect observation we show
that (in contrast to full randomized strategies) belief-based (subset-construction
based) strate- gies are not sufficient, and present an exponential upper bound
on mem- ory both for almost-sure and positive winning strategies; we show that
the problem of deciding the existence of almost-sure and positive winning strategies
for player 1 is EXPTIME-complete and present symbolic algo- rithms that avoid
the explicit exponential construction. (2) For one-sided games with player 1 perfect
observation we show that non-elementary memory is both necessary and sufficient
for both almost-sure and posi- tive winning strategies. (3) We show that for the
general (two-sided) case finite-memory strategies are sufficient for both positive
and almost-sure winning, and at least non-elementary memory is required. We establish
the equivalence of the almost-sure winning problems for pure strategies and for
randomized strategies with actions invisible. Our equivalence re- sult exhibit
serious flaws in previous results in the literature: we show a non-elementary
memory lower bound for almost-sure winning whereas an exponential upper bound
was previously claimed."

text: 'We consider two-player games played on a finite state space for an infinite
number of rounds. The games are concurrent: in each round, the two players (player
1 and player 2) choose their moves independently and simultaneously; the current
state and the two moves determine the successor state. We consider ω-regular winning
conditions specified as parity objectives. Both players are allowed to use randomization
when choosing their moves. We study the computation of the limit-winning set of
states, consisting of the states where the sup-inf value of the game for player
1 is 1: in other words, a state is limit-winning if player 1 can ensure a probability
of winning arbitrarily close to 1. We show that the limit-winning set can be computed
in O(n2d+2) time, where n is the size of the game structure and 2d is the number
of priorities (or colors). The membership problem of whether a state belongs to
the limit-winning set can be decided in NP ∩ coNP. While this complexity is the
same as for the simpler class of turn-based parity games, where in each state
only one of the two players has a choice of moves, our algorithms are considerably
more involved than those for turn-based games. This is because concurrent games
do not satisfy two of the most fundamental properties of turn-based parity games.
First, in concurrent games limit-winning strategies require randomization; and
second, they require infinite memory.'

text: GIST is a tool that (a) solves the qualitative analysis problem of turn-based
probabilistic games with ω-regular objectives; and (b) synthesizes reasonable
environment assumptions for synthesis of unrealizable specifications. Our tool
provides the first and efficient implementations of several reduction-based techniques
to solve turn-based probabilistic games, and uses the analysis of turn-based probabilistic
games for synthesizing environment assumptions for unrealizable specifications.

text: 'Graph games of infinite length are a natural model for open reactive processes:
one player represents the controller, trying to ensure a given specification,
and the other represents a hostile environment. The evolution of the system depends
on the decisions of both players, supplemented by chance. In this work, we focus
on the notion of randomised strategy. More specifically, we show that three natural
definitions may lead to very different results: in the most general cases, an
almost-surely winning situation may become almost-surely losing if the player
is only allowed to use a weaker notion of strategy. In more reasonable settings,
translations exist, but they require infinite memory, even in simple cases. Finally,
some traditional problems becomes undecidable for the strongest type of strategies.'

text: "We present an algorithmic method for the synthesis of concurrent programs
that are optimal with respect to quantitative performance measures. The input
consists of a sequential sketch, that is, a program that does not contain synchronization
constructs, and of a parametric performance model that assigns costs to actions
such as locking, context switching, and idling. The quantitative synthesis problem
is to automatically introduce synchronization constructs into the sequential sketch
so that both correctness is guaranteed and worst-case (or average-case) performance
is optimized. Correctness is formalized as race freedom or linearizability.\r\n\r\nWe
show that for worst-case performance, the problem can be modeled\r\nas a 2-player
graph game with quantitative (limit-average) objectives, and\r\nfor average-case
performance, as a 2 1/2 -player graph game (with probabilistic transitions). In
both cases, the optimal correct program is derived from an optimal strategy in
the corresponding quantitative game. We prove that the respective game problems
are computationally expensive (NP-complete), and present several techniques that
overcome the theoretical difficulty in cases of concurrent programs of practical
interest.\r\n\r\nWe have implemented a prototype tool and used it for the automatic
syn- thesis of programs that access a concurrent list. For certain parameter val-
ues, our method automatically synthesizes various classical synchronization schemes
for implementing a concurrent list, such as fine-grained locking or a lazy algorithm.
For other parameter values, a new, hybrid synchronization style is synthesized,
which uses both the lazy approach and coarse-grained locks (instead of standard
fine-grained locks). The trade-off occurs because while fine-grained locking tends
to decrease the cost that is due to waiting for locks, it increases cache size
requirements."

text: The class of ω regular languages provide a robust specification language in
verification. Every ω-regular condition can be decomposed into a safety part and
a liveness part. The liveness part ensures that something good happens “eventually.”
Two main strengths of the classical, infinite-limit formulation of liveness are
robustness (independence from the granularity of transitions) and simplicity (abstraction
of complicated time bounds). However, the classical liveness formulation suffers
from the drawback that the time until something good happens may be unbounded.
A stronger formulation of liveness, so-called finitary liveness, overcomes this
drawback, while still retaining robustness and simplicity. Finitary liveness requires
that there exists an unknown, fixed bound b such that something good happens within
b transitions. In this work we consider the finitary parity and Streett (fairness)
conditions. We present the topological, automata-theoretic and logical characterization
of finitary languages defined by finitary parity and Streett conditions. We (a)
show that the finitary parity and Streett languages are Σ2-complete; (b) present
a complete characterization of the expressive power of various classes of automata
with finitary and infinitary conditions (in particular we show that non-deterministic
finitary parity and Streett automata cannot be determinized to deterministic finitary
parity or Streett automata); and (c) show that the languages defined by non-deterministic
finitary parity automata exactly characterize the star-free fragment of ωB-regular
languages.
