  text: Complex I plays a central role in cellular energy production, coupling electron
    transfer between NADH and quinone to proton translocation. The mechanism of this
    highly efficient enzyme is currently unknown. Mitochondrial complex I is a major
    source of reactive oxygen species, which may be one of the causes of aging. Dysfunction
    of complex I is implicated in many human neurodegenerative diseases. We have determined
    several x-ray structures of the oxidized and reduced hydrophilic domain of complex
    I from Thermus thermophilus at up to 3.1 Å resolution. The structures reveal the
    mode of interaction of complex I with NADH, explaining known kinetic data and
    providing implications for the mechanism of reactive oxygen species production
    at the flavin site of complex I. Bound metals were identified in the channel at
    the interface with the frataxin-like subunit Nqo15, indicating possible iron-binding
    sites. Conformational changes upon reduction of the complex involve adjustments
    in the nucleotide-binding pocket, as well as small but significant shifts of several
    α-helices at the interface with the membrane domain. These shifts are likely to
    be driven by the reduction of nearby iron-sulfur clusters N2 and N6a/b. Cluster
    N2 is the electron donor to quinone and is coordinated by unique motif involving
    two consecutive (tandem) cysteines. An unprecedented &quot;on/off switch&quot;
    (disconnection) of coordinating bonds between the tandem cysteines and this cluster
    was observed upon reduction. Comparison of the structures suggests a novel mechanism
    of coupling between electron transfer and proton translocation, combining conformational
    changes and protonation/deprotonation of tandem cysteines.

  text: Parallel evolution is the acquisition of identical adaptive traits in independently
    evolving populations. Understanding whether the genetic changes underlying adaptation
    to a common selective environment are parallel within and between species is interesting
    because it sheds light on the degree of evolutionary constraints. If parallel
    evolution is perfect, then the implication is that forces such as functional constraints,
    epistasis, and pleiotropy play an important role in shaping the outcomes of adaptive
    evolution. In addition, population genetic theory predicts that the probability
    of parallel evolution will decline with an increase in the number of adaptive
    solutions-if a single adaptive solution exists, then parallel evolution will be
    observed among highly divergent species. For this reason, it is predicted that
    close relatives-which likely overlap more in the details of their adaptive solutions-will
    show more parallel evolution. By adapting three related bacteriophage species
    to a novel environment we find (1) a high rate of parallel genetic evolution at
    orthologous nucleotide and amino acid residues within species, (2) parallel beneficial
    mutations do not occur in a common order in which they fix or appear in an evolving
    population, (3) low rates of parallel evolution and convergent evolution between
    species, and (4) the probability of parallel and convergent evolution between
    species is strongly effected by divergence.

  text: 'Motivated by applications in software verification, we explore automated
    reasoning about the non-disjoint combination of theories of infinitely many finite
    structures, where the theories share set variables and set operations. We prove
    a combination theorem and apply it to show the decidability of the satisfiability
    problem for a class of formulas obtained by applying propositional connectives
    to formulas belonging to: 1) Boolean Algebra with Presburger Arithmetic (with
    quantifiers over sets and integers), 2) weak monadic second-order logic over trees
    (with monadic second-order quantifiers), 3) two-variable logic with counting quantifiers
    (ranging over elements), 4) the Bernays-Schönfinkel-Ramsey class of first-order
    logic with equality (with ∃ * ∀ * quantifier prefix), and 5) the quantifier-free
    logic of multisets with cardinality constraints.'

  text: We present an abstraction refinement technique for the verification of universally
    quantified array assertions such as “all elements in the array are sorted”. Our
    technique can be seamlessly combined with existing software model checking algorithms.
    We implemented our technique in the ACSAR software model checker and successfully
    verified quantified array assertions for both text book examples and real-life
    examples taken from the Linux operating system kernel.

  text: "We present Chorus, a high-level parallel programming model suitable for irregular,
    heap-manipulating applications like mesh refinement and epidemic simulations,
    and JChorus, an implementation of the model on top of Java. One goal of Chorus
    is to express the dynamic and instance-dependent patterns of memory access that
    are common in typical irregular applications. Its other focus is locality of effects:
    the property that in many of the same applications, typical imperative commands
    only affect small, local regions in the shared heap.\r\nChorus addresses dynamism
    and locality through the unifying abstraction of an object assembly: a local region
    in a shared data structure equipped with a short-lived, speculative thread of
    control. The thread of control in an assembly can only access objects within the
    assembly. While objects can migrate from assembly to assembly, such migration
    is local--i.e., objects only move from one assembly to a neighboring one--and
    does not lead to aliasing. Programming primitives include a merge operation, by
    which an assembly merges with an adjacent assembly, and a split operation, which
    splits an assembly into smaller ones. Our abstractions are race and deadlock-free,
    and inherently data-centric.\r\nWe demonstrate that Chorus and JChorus allow natural
    programming of several important applications exhibiting irregular data-parallelism.
    We also present an implementation of JChorus based on a many-to-one mapping of
    assemblies to lower-level threads, and report on preliminary performance numbers."

  text: Programming errors found early are the cheapest. Tools applying to the early
    stage of code development exist but either they suffer from false positives (“noise”)
    or they require strong user interaction. We propose to avoid this deficiency by
    defining a new class of errors. A program fragment is doomed if its execution
    will inevitably fail, in whatever state it is started. We use a formal verification
    method to identify such errors fully automatically and, most significantly, without
    producing noise. We report on preliminary experiments with a prototype tool.

  text: Pseudo-code descriptions of STMs assume sequentially consistent program execution
    and atomicity of high-level STM operations like read, write, and commit. These
    assumptions are often violated in realistic settings, as STM implementations run
    on relaxed memory models, with the atomicity of operations as provided by the
    hardware. This paper presents the first approach to verify STMs under relaxed
    memory models with atomicity of 32 bit loads and stores, and read-modify-write
    operations. We present RML, a new high-level language for expressing concurrent
    algorithms with a hardware-level atomicity of instructions, and whose semantics
    is parametrized by various relaxed memory models. We then present our tool, FOIL,
    which takes as input the RML description of an STM algorithm and the description
    of a memory model, and automatically determines the locations of fences, which
    if inserted, ensure the correctness of the STM algorithm under the given memory
    model. We use FOIL to verify DSTM, TL2, and McRT STM under the memory models of
    sequential consistency, total store order, partial store order, and relaxed memory
    order.

  text: "Transactional memories are typically speculative and rely on contention managers
    to cure conflicts. This paper explores a complementary approach that prevents
    conflicts by scheduling transactions according to predictions on their access
    sets.\r\nWe first explore the theoretical boundaries of this approach and prove
    that (1) a TM scheduler with an accurate prediction can be 2-competitive with
    an optimal offline TM scheduler, but (2) even a slight inaccuracy in prediction
    makes the competitive ratio of the TM scheduler in the order of the number of
    transactions.\r\nWe then show that, in practice, there is room for a pragmatic
    approach with good average case performance. We present Shrink, a scheduler that
    (1) bases its prediction of transactional accesses on the access patterns of the
    past transactions from the same thread, and (2) uses a novel heuristic, which
    we call serialization affinity, to schedule transactions with a probability proportional
    to the current amount of contention. Shrink obtains roughly 70% accurate read
    and write access predictions on STMBench7 and STAMP. In our experimental evaluation,
    Shrink significantly improves STM performance in cases the number of executing
    threads is higher than the number of available CPU cores. For SwissTM, Shrink
    improves the performance by up to 55% on STMBench7, and up to 120% on STAMP. For
    TinySTM, Shrink drastically improves the performance on STMBench7 and STAMP benchmarks."

  text: We address the problem of analyzing programs such as J2ME midlets for mobile
    devices, where a central correctness requirement concerns confidentiality of data
    that the user wants to keep secret. Existing software model checking tools analyze
    individual program executions, and are not applicable to checking confidentiality
    properties that require reasoning about equivalence among executions. We develop
    an automated analysis technique for such properties. We show that both over- and
    under- approximation is needed for sound analysis. Given a program and a confidentiality
    requirement, our technique produces a formula that is satisfiable if the requirement
    holds. We evaluate the approach by analyzing bytecode of a set of Java (J2ME)
    methods.

    verification is decidable, and this forms the basis of recent tools for software
    model checking. In this paper, we consider algorithmic verification of programs
    that use boolean variables, and in addition, access a single read-only array whose
    length is potentially unbounded, and whose elements range over a potentially unbounded
    data domain. We show that the reachability problem, while undecidable in general,
    is (1) Pspace-complete for programs in which the array-accessing for-loops are
    not nested, (2) decidable for a restricted class of programs with doubly-nested
    loops. The second result establishes connections to automata and logics defining
    languages over data words.

  text: We present an on-the-fly abstraction technique for infinite-state continuous
    -time Markov chains. We consider Markov chains that are specified by a finite
    set of transition classes. Such models naturally represent biochemical reactions
    and therefore play an important role in the stochastic modeling of biological
    systems. We approximate the transient probability distributions at various time
    instances by solving a sequence of dynamically constructed abstract models, each
    depending on the previous one. Each abstract model is a finite Markov chain that
    represents the behavior of the original, infinite chain during a specific time
    interval. Our approach provides complete information about probability distributions,
    not just about individual parameters like the mean. The error of each abstraction
    can be computed, and the precision of the abstraction refined when desired. We
    implemented the algorithm and demonstrate its usefulness and efficiency on several
    case studies from systems biology.

    Molecular noise, which arises from the randomness of the discrete events in the cell, significantly influences fundamental biological processes. Discrete -state continuous-time stochastic models (CTMC) can be used to describe such effects, but the calculation of the probabilities of certain events is computationally expensive.
    We present a comparison of two analysis approaches for CTMC. On one hand, we estimate the probabilities of interest using repeated Gillespie simulation and determine the statistical accuracy that we obtain. On the other hand, we apply a numerical reachability analysis that approximates the probability distributions of the system at several time instances. We use examples of cellular processes to demonstrate the superiority of the reachability analysis if accurate results are required.

  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. 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 non-w-regular for deterministic limit-average and discounted-sum
    automata, while this set is always w-regular when the threshold is isolated (i.e.,
    some neighborhood around the threshold contains no word). In the latter case,
    we prove that the w-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: "Weighted automata are finite automata with numerical weights on transitions.
    Nondeterministic weighted automata define quantitative languages L that assign
    to each word w a real number L(w) computed as the maximal value of all runs over
    w, and the value of a run r is a function of the sequence of weights that appear
    along r. There are several natural functions to consider such as Sup, LimSup,
    LimInf, limit average, and discounted sum of transition weights.\r\nWe introduce
    alternating weighted automata in which the transitions of the runs are chosen
    by two players in a turn-based fashion. Each word is assigned the maximal value
    of a run that the first player can enforce regardless of the choices made by the
    second player. We survey the results about closure properties, expressiveness,
    and decision problems for nondeterministic weighted automata, and we extend these
    results to alternating weighted automata.\r\nFor quantitative languages L 1 and
    L 2, we consider the pointwise operations max(L 1,L 2), min(L 1,L 2), 1 − L 1,
    and the sum L 1 + L 2. We establish the closure properties of all classes of alternating
    weighted automata with respect to these four operations.\r\nWe next compare the
    expressive power of the various classes of alternating and nondeterministic weighted
    automata over infinite words. In particular, for limit average and discounted
    sum, we show that alternation brings more expressive power than nondeterminism.\r\nFinally,
    we present decidability results and open questions for the quantitative extension
    of the classical decision problems in automata theory: emptiness, universality,
    language inclusion, and language equivalence."

  text: The synthesis of a reactive system with respect to all omega-regular specification
    requires the solution of a graph game. Such games have been extended in two natural
    ways. First, a game graph can be equipped with probabilistic choices between alternative
    transitions, thus allowing the, modeling of uncertain behaviour. These are called
    stochastic games. Second, a liveness specification can he strengthened to require
    satisfaction within all unknown but bounded amount of time. These are called finitary
    objectives. We study. for the first time, the, combination of Stochastic games
    and finitary objectives. We characterize the requirements on optimal strategies
    and provide algorithms for Computing the maximal achievable probability of winning
    stochastic games with finitary parity or Street, objectives. Most notably the
    set of state's from which a player can win with probability . for a finitary parity
    objective can he computed in polynomial time even though no polynomial-time algorithm
    is known in the nonfinitary case.

  text: We consider concurrent games played on graphs. At every round of a game, each
    player simultaneously and independently selects a move; the moves jointly determine
    the transition to a successor state. Two basic objectives are the safety objective
    to stay forever in a given set of states, and its dual, the reachability objective
    to reach a given set of states. We present in this paper a strategy improvement
    algorithm for computing the value of a concurrent safety game, that is, the maximal
    probability with which player 1 can enforce the safety objective. The algorithm
    yields a sequence of player-1 strategies which ensure probabilities of winning
    that converge monotonically to the value of the safety game. Our result is significant
    because the strategy improvement algorithm provides, for the first time, a way
    to approximate the value of a concurrent safety game from below. Since a value
    iteration algorithm, or a strategy improvement algorithm for reachability games,
    can be used to approximate the same value from above, the combination of both
    algorithms yields a method for computing a converging sequence of upper and lower
    bounds for the values of concurrent reachability and safety games. Previous methods
    could approximate the values of these games only from one direction, and as no
    rates of convergence are known, they did not provide a practical way to solve
    these games.

  text: "Most specification languages express only qualitative constraints. However,
    among two implementations that satisfy a given specification, one may be preferred
    to another. For example, if a specification asks that every request is followed
    by a response, one may prefer an implementation that generates responses quickly
    but does not generate unnecessary responses. We use quantitative properties to
    measure the “goodness” of an implementation. Using games with corresponding quantitative
    objectives, we can synthesize “optimal” implementations, which are preferred among
    the set of possible implementations that satisfy a given specification.\r\nIn
    particular, we show how automata with lexicographic mean-payoff conditions can
    be used to express many interesting quantitative properties for reactive systems.
    In this framework, the synthesis of optimal implementations requires the solution
    of lexicographic mean-payoff games (for safety requirements), and the solution
    of games with both lexicographic mean-payoff and parity objectives (for liveness
    requirements). We present algorithms for solving both kinds of novel graph games."
