  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: Boolean notions of correctness are formalized by preorders on systems. Quantitative
    measures of correctness can be formalized by real-valued distance functions between
    systems, where the distance between implementation and specification provides
    a measure of &quot;fit&quot; or &quot;desirability&quot;. We extend the simulation
    preorder to the quantitative setting by making each player of a simulation game
    pay a certain price for her choices. We use the resulting games with quantitative
    objectives to define three different simulation distances. The correctness distance
    measures how much the specification must be changed in order to be satisfied by
    the implementation. The coverage distance measures how much the implementation
    restricts the degrees of freedom offered by the specification. The robustness
    distance measures how much a system can deviate from the implementation description
    without violating the specification. We consider these distances for safety as
    well as liveness specifications. The distances can be computed in polynomial time
    for safety specifications, and for liveness specifications given by weak fairness
    constraints. We show that the distance functions satisfy the triangle inequality,
    that the distance between two systems does not increase under parallel composition
    with a third system, and that the distance between two systems can be bounded
    from above and below by distances between abstractions of the two systems. These
    properties suggest that our simulation distances provide an appropriate basis
    for a quantitative theory of discrete systems. We also demonstrate how the robustness
    distance can be used to measure how many transmission errors are tolerated by
    error correcting codes.

  text: In addition to being correct, a system should be robust, that is, it should
    behave reasonably even after receiving unexpected inputs. In this paper, we summarize
    two formal notions of robustness that we have introduced previously for reactive
    systems. One of the notions is based on assigning costs for failures on a user-provided
    notion of incorrect transitions in a specification. Here, we define a system to
    be robust if a finite number of incorrect inputs does not lead to an infinite
    number of incorrect outputs. We also give a more refined notion of robustness
    that aims to minimize the ratio of output failures to input failures. The second
    notion is aimed at liveness. In contrast to the previous notion, it has no concept
    of recovery from an error. Instead, it compares the ratio of the number of liveness
    constraints that the system violates to the number of liveness constraints that
    the environment violates.

  text: 'Compositional theories are crucial when designing large and complex systems
    from smaller components. In this work we propose such a theory for synchronous
    concurrent systems. Our approach follows so-called interface theories, which use
    game-theoretic interpretations of composition and refinement. These are appropriate
    for systems with distinct inputs and outputs, and explicit conditions on inputs
    that must be enforced during composition. Our interfaces model systems that execute
    in an infinite sequence of synchronous rounds. At each round, a contract must
    be satisfied. The contract is simply a relation specifying the set of valid input/output
    pairs. Interfaces can be composed by parallel, serial or feedback composition.
    A refinement relation between interfaces is defined, and shown to have two main
    properties: (1) it is preserved by composition, and (2) it is equivalent to substitutability,
    namely, the ability to replace an interface by another one in any context. Shared
    refinement and abstraction operators, corresponding to greatest lower and least
    upper bounds with respect to refinement, are also defined. Input-complete interfaces,
    that impose no restrictions on inputs, and deterministic interfaces, that produce
    a unique output for any legal input, are discussed as special cases, and an interesting
    duality between the two classes is exposed. A number of illustrative examples
    are provided, as well as algorithms to compute compositions, check refinement,
    and so on, for finite-state interfaces.'

  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: "Motivated by improvements in constraint-solving technology and by the increase
    of routinely available computational power, partial-program synthesis is emerging
    as an effective approach for increasing programmer productivity. The goal of the
    approach is to allow the programmer to specify a part of her intent imperatively
    (that is, give a partial program) and a part of her intent declaratively, by specifying
    which conditions need to be achieved or maintained. The task of the synthesizer
    is to construct a program that satisfies the specification. As an example, consider
    a partial program where threads access shared data without using any synchronization
    mechanism, and a declarative specification that excludes data races and deadlocks.
    The task of the synthesizer is then to place locks into the program code in order
    for the program to meet the specification.\r\n\r\nIn this paper, we argue that
    quantitative objectives are needed in partial-program synthesis in order to produce
    higher-quality programs, while enabling simpler specifications. Returning to the
    example, the synthesizer could construct a naive solution that uses one global
    lock for shared data. This can be prevented either by constraining the solution
    space further (which is error-prone and partly defeats the point of synthesis),
    or by optimizing a quantitative objective that models performance. Other quantitative
    notions useful in synthesis include fault tolerance, robustness, resource (memory,
    power) consumption, and information flow."

  text: 'A discounted-sum automaton (NDA) is a nondeterministic finite automaton with
    edge weights, which values a run by the discounted sum of visited edge weights.
    More precisely, the weight in the i-th position of the run is divided by lambda^i,
    where the discount factor lambda is a fixed rational number greater than 1. Discounted
    summation is a common and useful measuring scheme, especially for infinite sequences,
    which reflects the assumption that earlier weights are more important than later
    weights. Determinizing automata is often essential, for example, in formal verification,
    where there are polynomial algorithms for comparing two deterministic NDAs, while
    the equivalence problem for NDAs is not known to be decidable. Unfortunately,
    however, discounted-sum automata are, in general, not determinizable: it is currently
    known that for every rational discount factor 1 &lt; lambda &lt; 2, there is an
    NDA with lambda (denoted lambda-NDA) that cannot be determinized. We provide positive
    news, showing that every NDA with an integral factor is determinizable. We also
    complete the picture by proving that the integers characterize exactly the discount
    factors that guarantee determinizability: we show that for every non-integral
    rational factor lambda, there is a nondeterminizable lambda-NDA. Finally, we prove
    that the class of NDAs with integral discount factors enjoys closure under the
    algebraic operations min, max, addition, and subtraction, which is not the case
    for general NDAs nor for deterministic NDAs. This shows that for integral discount
    factors, the class of NDAs forms an attractive specification formalism in quantitative
    formal verification. All our results hold equally for automata over finite words
    and for automata over infinite words. '

  text: We consider probabilistic automata on infinite words with acceptance defined
    by safety, reachability, Büchi, coBüchi, and limit-average conditions. We consider
    quantitative and qualitative decision problems. We present extensions and adaptations
    of proofs for probabilistic finite automata and present a complete characterization
    of the decidability and undecidability frontier of the quantitative and qualitative
    decision problems for probabilistic automata on infinite words.

  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 &quot;specification free&quot;,
    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: 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: 'Quantitative languages are an extension of boolean languages that assign
    to each word a real number. Mean-payoff automata are finite automata with numerical
    weights on transitions that assign to each infinite path the long-run average
    of the transition weights. When the mode of branching of the automaton is deterministic,
    nondeterministic, or alternating, the corresponding class of quantitative languages
    is not robust as it is not closed under the pointwise operations of max, min,
    sum, and numerical complement. Nondeterministic and alternating mean-payoff automata
    are not decidable either, as the quantitative generalization of the problems of
    universality and language inclusion is undecidable. We introduce a new class of
    quantitative languages, defined by mean-payoff automaton expressions, which is
    robust and decidable: it is closed under the four pointwise operations, and we
    show that all decision problems are decidable for this class. Mean-payoff automaton
    expressions subsume deterministic meanpayoff automata, and we show that they have
    expressive power incomparable to nondeterministic and alternating mean-payoff
    automata. We also present for the first time an algorithm to compute distance
    between two quantitative languages, and in our case the quantitative languages
    are given as mean-payoff automaton expressions.'

  text: 'We study observation-based strategies for partially-observable Markov decision
    processes (POMDPs) with parity objectives. An observation-based strategy relies
    on partial information about the history of a play, namely, on the past sequence
    of observations. We consider qualitative analysis problems: given a POMDP with
    a parity objective, decide whether there exists an observation-based strategy
    to achieve the objective with probability 1 (almost-sure winning), or with positive
    probability (positive winning). Our main results are twofold. First, we present
    a complete picture of the computational complexity of the qualitative analysis
    problem for POMDPs with parity objectives and its subclasses: safety, reachability,
    Büchi, and coBüchi objectives. We establish several upper and lower bounds that
    were not known in the literature. Second, we give optimal bounds (matching upper
    and lower bounds) for the memory required by pure and randomized observation-based
    strategies for each class of objectives.'

  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 (players interact simultaneously);
    and (b) turn-based (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. 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: Systems ought to behave reasonably even in circumstances that are not anticipated
    in their specifications. We propose a definition of robustness for liveness specifications
    which prescribes, for any number of environment assumptions that are violated,
    a minimal number of system guarantees that must still be fulfilled. This notion
    of robustness can be formulated and realized using a Generalized Reactivity formula.
    We present an algorithm for synthesizing robust systems from such formulas. For
    the important special case of Generalized Reactivity formulas of rank 1, our algorithm
    improves the complexity of [PPS06] for large specifications with a small number
    of assumptions and guarantees.

  text: Weighted automata are nondeterministic automata with numerical weights on
    transitions. They can define quantitative languages L that assign to each word
    w a real number L(w). In the case of infinite words, the value of a run is naturally
    computed as the maximum, limsup, liminf, limit-average, or discounted-sum of the
    transition weights. The value of a word w is the supremum of the values of the
    runs over w. We study expressiveness and closure questions about these quantitative
    languages. We first show that the set of words with value greater than a threshold
    can be omega-regular for deterministic limit-average and discounted-sum automata,
    while this set is always omega-regular when the threshold is isolated (i.e., some
    neighborhood around the threshold contains no word). In the latter case, we prove
    that the omega-regular language is robust against small perturbations of the transition
    weights. We next consider automata with transition weights 0 or 1 and show that
    they are as expressive as general weighted automata in the limit-average case,
    but not in the discounted-sum case. Third, for quantitative languages L-1 and
    L-2, we consider the operations max(L-1, L-2), min(L-1, L-2), and 1 - L-1, which
    generalize the boolean operations on languages, as well as the sum L-1 + L-2.
    We establish the closure properties of all classes of quantitative languages with
    respect to these four operations.

  text: In this paper we propose a novel technique for constructing timed automata
    from properties expressed in the logic mtl, under bounded-variability assumptions.
    We handle full mtl and include all future operators. Our construction is based
    on separation of the continuous time monitoring of the input sequence and discrete
    predictions regarding the future. The separation of the continuous from the discrete
    allows us to determinize our automata in an exponential construction that does
    not increase the number of clocks. This leads to a doubly exponential construction
    from mtl to deterministic timed automata, compared with triply exponential using
    existing approaches. We offer an alternative to the existing approach to linear
    real-time model checking, which has never been implemented. It further offers
    a unified framework for model checking, runtime monitoring, and synthesis, in
    an approach that can reuse tools, implementations, and insights from the discrete
    setting.

  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: 'While a boolean notion of correctness is given by a preorder on systems and
    properties, a quantitative notion of correctness is defined by a distance function
    on systems and properties, where the distance between a system and a property
    provides a measure of “fit” or “desirability.” In this article, we explore several
    ways how the simulation preorder can be generalized to a distance function. This
    is done by equipping the classical simulation game between a system and a property
    with quantitative objectives. In particular, for systems that satisfy a property,
    a quantitative simulation game can measure the “robustness” of the satisfaction,
    that is, how much the system can deviate from its nominal behavior while still
    satisfying the property. For systems that violate a property, a quantitative simulation
    game can measure the “seriousness” of the violation, that is, how much the property
    has to be modified so that it is satisfied by the system. These distances can
    be computed in polynomial time, since the computation reduces to the value problem
    in limit average games with constant weights. Finally, we demonstrate how the
    robustness distance can be used to measure how many transmission errors are tolerated
    by error correcting codes. '

abstract:
- lang: eng
  text: Boolean notions of correctness are formalized by preorders on systems. Quantitative
    measures of correctness can be formalized by real-valued distance functions between
    systems, where the distance between implementation and specification provides
    a measure of “fit” or “desirability.” We extend the simulation preorder to the
    quantitative setting, by making each player of a simulation game pay a certain
    price for her choices. We use the resulting games with quantitative objectives
    to define three different simulation distances. The correctness distance measures
    how much the specification must be changed in order to be satisfied by the implementation.
    The coverage distance measures how much the implementation restricts the degrees
    of freedom offered by the specification. The robustness distance measures how
    much a system can deviate from the implementation description without violating
    the specification. We consider these distances for safety as well as liveness
    specifications. The distances can be computed in polynomial time for safety specifications,
    and for liveness specifications given by weak fairness constraints. We show that
    the distance functions satisfy the triangle inequality, that the distance between
    two systems does not increase under parallel composition with a third system,
    and that the distance between two systems can be bounded from above and below
    by distances between abstractions of the two systems. These properties suggest
    that our simulation distances provide an appropriate basis for a quantitative
    theory of discrete systems. We also demonstrate how the robustness distance can
    be used to measure how many transmission errors are tolerated by error correcting
    codes.
