  text: In this work, we present hypernode automata as a specification formalism for
    hyperproperties of systems whose executions may be misaligned among themselves,
    such as concurrent systems. These automata consist of nodes labeled with hypernode
    logic formulas and transitions marked with synchronizing actions. Hypernode logic
    formulas establish relations between sequences of variable values among different
    system executions. This logic enables both synchronous and asynchronous analysis
    of traces. In its asynchronous view on execution traces, hypernode formulas establish
    relations on the order of value changes for each variable without correlating
    their timing. In both views, the analysis of different execution traces is synchronized
    through the transitions of hypernode automata. By combining logic’s declarative
    nature with automata’s procedural power, hypernode automata seamlessly integrate
    asynchronicity requirements at the node level with synchronicity between node
    transitions. We show that the model-checking problem for hypernode automata is
    decidable for specifications where each node specifies either a synchronous or
    an asynchronous requirement for the system’s executions, but not both.

  text: Enforcement of information-flow policies has been extensively studied by language-based
    approaches over the past few decades. In this paper, we propose an alternative,
    novel, general, and effective approach using enforcement of hyperproperties– a
    powerful formalism for expressing and reasoning about a wide range of information-flow
    security policies. We study black- vs. gray- vs. white-box enforcement of hyperproperties
    expressed by nondeterministic finite-word hyperautomata (NFH), where the enforcer
    has null, some, or complete information about the implementation of the system
    under scrutiny. Given an NFH, in order to generate a runtime enforcer, we reduce
    the problem to controller synthesis for hyperproperties and subsequently to the
    satisfiability problem for quantified Boolean formulas (QBFs). The resulting enforcers
    are transferable with low-overhead. We conduct a rich set of case studies, including
    information-flow control for JavaScript code, as well as synthesizing obfuscators
    for control plants.

  text: Transforming ω-automata into parity automata is traditionally done using appearance
    records. We present an efficient variant of this idea, tailored to Rabin automata,
    and several optimizations applicable to all appearance records. We compare the
    methods experimentally and show that our method produces significantly smaller
    automata than previous approaches.

  Federal Ministry of Education and Research. It is an extended version of [21], including
  all proofs together with further explanations and examples. Moreover, we provide
  a new, more efficient construction based on (total) preorders, unifying previous
  optimizations. Experiments are performed with a new, performant implementation,
  comparing our approach to the current state of the art.

  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 logic.
    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.

  text: 'The ubiquity of computation in modern machines and devices imposes a need
    to assert the correctness of their behavior. Especially in the case of safety-critical
    systems, their designers need to take measures that enforce their safe operation.
    Formal methods has emerged as a research field that addresses this challenge:
    by rigorously proving that all system executions adhere to their specifications,
    the correctness of an implementation under concern can be assured. To achieve
    this goal, a plethora of techniques are nowadays available, all of which are optimized
    for different system types and application domains.'
