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: Mathematical models are of fundamental importance in the understanding of
complex population dynamics. For instance, they can be used to predict the population
evolution starting from different initial conditions or to test how a system responds
to external perturbations. For this analysis to be meaningful in real applications,
however, it is of paramount importance to choose an appropriate model structure
and to infer the model parameters from measured data. While many parameter inference
methods are available for models based on deterministic ordinary differential
equations, the same does not hold for more detailed individual-based models. Here
we consider, in particular, stochastic models in which the time evolution of the
species abundances is described by a continuous-time Markov chain. These models
are governed by a master equation that is typically difficult to solve. Consequently,
traditional inference methods that rely on iterative evaluation of parameter likelihoods
are computationally intractable. The aim of this paper is to present recent advances
in parameter inference for continuous-time Markov chain models, based on a moment
closure approximation of the parameter likelihood, and to investigate how these
results can help in understanding, and ultimately controlling, complex systems
in ecology. Specifically, we illustrate through an agricultural pest case study
how parameters of a stochastic individual-based model can be identified from measured
data and how the resulting model can be used to solve an optimal control problem
in a stochastic setting. In particular, we show how the matter of determining
the optimal combination of two different pest control methods can be formulated
as a chance constrained optimization problem where the control action is modeled
as a state reset, leading to a hybrid system formulation.

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: '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 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:
- lang: eng
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: 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: '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: 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 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: "As hybrid systems involve continuous behaviors, they should be evaluated
by quantitative methods, rather than qualitative methods. In this paper we adapt
a quantitative framework, called model measuring, to the hybrid systems domain.
The model-measuring problem asks, given a model M and a specification, what is
the maximal distance such that all models within that distance from M satisfy
(or violate) the specification. A distance function on models is given as part
of the input of the problem. Distances, especially related to continuous behaviors
are more natural in the hybrid case than the discrete case. We are interested
in distances represented by monotonic hybrid automata, a hybrid counterpart of
(discrete) weighted automata, whose recognized timed languages are monotone (w.r.t.
inclusion) in the values of parameters.\r\n\r\nThe contributions of this paper
are twofold. First, we give sufficient conditions under which the model-measuring
problem can be solved. Second, we discuss the modeling of distances and applications
of the model-measuring problem."

text: While fixing concurrency bugs, program repair algorithms may introduce new
concurrency bugs. We present an algorithm that avoids such regressions. The solution
space is given by a set of program transformations we consider in the repair process.
These include reordering of instructions within a thread and inserting atomic
sections. The new algorithm learns a constraint on the space of candidate solutions,
from both positive examples (error-free traces) and counterexamples (error traces).
From each counterexample, the algorithm learns a constraint necessary to remove
the errors. From each positive examples, it learns a constraint that is necessary
in order to prevent the repair from turning the trace into an error trace. We
implemented the algorithm and evaluated it on simplified Linux device drivers
with known bugs.

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.

text: Model-based testing is a promising technology for black-box software and hardware
testing, in which test cases are generated automatically from high-level specifications.
Nowadays, systems typically consist of multiple interacting components and, due
to their complexity, testing presents a considerable portion of the effort and
cost in the design process. Exploiting the compositional structure of system specifications
can considerably reduce the effort in model-based testing. Moreover, inferring
properties about the system from testing its individual components allows the
designer to reduce the amount of integration testing. In this paper, we study
compositional properties of the ioco-testing theory. We propose a new approach
to composition and hiding operations, inspired by contract-based design and interface
theories. These operations preserve behaviors that are compatible under composition
and hiding, and prune away incompatible ones. The resulting specification characterizes
the input sequences for which the unit testing of components is sufficient to
infer the correctness of component integration without the need for further tests.
We provide a methodology that uses these results to minimize integration testing
effort, but also to detect potential weaknesses in specifications. While we focus
on asynchronous models and the ioco conformance relation, the resulting methodology
can be applied to a broader class of systems.

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.
