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.

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.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference","quality_controlled":"1","volume":6269,"department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"publisher":"Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik","corr_author":"1","publist_id":"1065","oa_version":"Submitted Version","author":[{"last_name":"Cerny","full_name":"Cerny, Pavol","id":"4DCBEFFE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Pavol"},{"id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Henzinger","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A","orcid":"0000−0002−2985−7724","first_name":"Thomas A"},{"first_name":"Arjun","id":"3B51CAC4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Radhakrishna","full_name":"Radhakrishna, Arjun"}],"title":"Simulation distances","date_updated":"2025-09-30T07:46:05Z","related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","relation":"earlier_version","id":"5389"},{"relation":"later_version","id":"3249","status":"public"}]},"page":"235 - 268","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"status":"public","has_accepted_license":"1","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:28Z","file":[{"access_level":"open_access","creator":"system","file_size":198913,"file_name":"IST-2012-42-v1+1_Simulation_distances.pdf","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:15:12Z","content_type":"application/pdf","checksum":"ea567903676ba8afe0507ee11313dce5","relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:28Z","file_id":"5130"}],"oa":1,"day":"01","doi":"10.1007/978-3-642-15375-4_18","date_published":"2010-11-01T00:00:00Z","intvolume":"      6269","year":"2010","acknowledgement":"This work was partially supported by the European Union project COMBEST and the European Network of Excellence ArtistDesign.","ec_funded":1,"user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","project":[{"_id":"25EFB36C-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"COMponent-Based Embedded Systems design Techniques","grant_number":"215543","call_identifier":"FP7"},{"grant_number":"214373","name":"Design for Embedded Systems","_id":"25F1337C-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FP7"}],"ddc":["005"]},{"year":"2010","intvolume":"      6011","quality_controlled":"1","date_published":"2010-04-21T00:00:00Z","day":"21","abstract":[{"text":"The problem of locally transforming or translating programs without altering their semantics is central to the construction of correct compilers. For concurrent shared-memory programs this task is challenging because (1) concurrent threads can observe transformations that would be undetectable in a sequential program, and (2) contemporary multiprocessors commonly use relaxed memory models that complicate the reasoning. In this paper, we present a novel proof methodology for verifying that a local program transformation is sound with respect to a specific hardware memory model, in the sense that it is not observable in any context. The methodology is based on a structural induction and relies on a novel compositional denotational semantics for relaxed memory models that formalizes (1) the behaviors of program fragments as a set of traces, and (2) the effect of memory model relaxations as local trace rewrite operations. To apply this methodology in practice, we implemented a semi- automated tool called Traver and used it to verify/falsify several compiler transformations for a number of different hardware memory models.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1007/978-3-642-11970-5_7","type":"conference","extern":"1","citation":{"apa":"Burckhardt, S., Musuvathi, M., &#38; Singh, V.

The challenge is to automatically determine the data-structure type, and to supply the shape analysis with the necessary information about the data structure. We present a stepwise approach to the selection of instrumentation predicates for a TVLA-based shape analysis, which takes us a step closer towards the fully automatic verification of data structures. The approach uses two techniques to guide the refinement of shape abstractions: (1) during program exploration, an explicit heap analysis collects sample instances of the heap structures, which are used to identify the data structures that are manipulated by the program; and (2) during abstraction refinement along an infeasible error path, we consider different possible heap abstractions and choose the coarsest one that eliminates the infeasible path. We have implemented this combined approach for automatic shape refinement as an extension of the software model checker BLAST.

In this paper we develop an adequate domain of limits for the well-structured transition systems that are induced by depth-bounded processes. An immediate consequence of our result is that there exists a forward algorithm that decides the covering problem for this class. Unlike backward algorithms, the forward algorithm terminates even if the depth of the process is not known a priori. More importantly, our result suggests a whole spectrum of forward algorithms that enable the effective verification of a large class of mobile systems.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"conference"},{"alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"publication_status":"published","date_created":"2018-12-11T12:06:08Z","oa_version":"None","publist_id":"2165","month":"07","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"status":"public","article_processing_charge":"No","title":"Dendritic cell migration across basement membranes in the skin","author":[{"full_name":"Pflicke, Holger","last_name":"Pflicke","id":"CAA57A9A-5B61-11E9-B130-E0C1E1F2C83D","first_name":"Holger"}],"_id":"3962","date_updated":"2026-04-09T14:37:07Z","degree_awarded":"PhD","year":"2010","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2663-337X"]},"type":"dissertation","day":"01","citation":{"short":"H.
