  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.

  text: For programs whose data variables range over boolean or finite domains, program
    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.

  text: |-
    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.

    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."

  text: Alpaga is a solver for two-player parity games with imperfect information.
    Given the description of a game, it determines whether the first player can ensure
    to win and, if so, it constructs a winning strategy. The tool provides a symbolic
    implementation of a recent algorithm based on antichains.

  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 of [GO09] and present a precise characterization of the decidability
    and undecidability frontier of the quantitative and qualitative decision problems.

  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 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: We consider two-player games played on graphs with request-response and finitary
    Streett objectives. We show these games are PSPACE-hard, improving the previous
    known NP-hardness. We also improve the lower bounds on memory required by the
    winning strategies for the players.

  text: 'We study observation-based strategies for partially-observable Markov decision
    processes (POMDPs) with omega-regular objectives. An observation-based strategy
    relies on partial information about the history of a play, namely, on the past
    sequence of observa- tions. We consider the qualitative analysis problem: given
    a POMDP with an omega-regular objective, whether there is 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 of POMDPs with parity objectives (a canonical form to express omega-regular
    objectives) and its subclasses. Our contribution consists in establishing several
    upper and lower bounds that were not known in literature. Second, we present optimal
    bounds (matching upper and lower bounds) on the memory required by pure and randomized
    observation-based strategies for the qualitative analysis of POMDPs with parity
    objectives and its subclasses.'

  text: The human CDK8 subcomplex (CDK8, cyclin C, Med12, and Med13) negatively regulates
    transcription in ways not completely defined; past studies suggested CDK8 kinase
    activity was required for its repressive function. Using a reconstituted transcription
    system together with recombinant or endogenous CDK8 subcomplexes, we demonstrate
    that, in fact, Med12 and Med13 are critical for subcomplex-dependent repression,
    whereas CDK8 kinase activity is not. A hallmark of activated transcription is
    efficient reinitiation from promoter-bound scaffold complexes that recruit a series
    of pol II enzymes to the gene. Notably, the CDK8 submodule strongly represses
    even reinitiation events, suggesting a means to fine tune transcript levels. Structural
    and biochemical studies confirm the CDK8 submodule binds the Mediator leg/tail
    domain via the Med13 subunit, and this submodule-Mediator association precludes
    pol II recruitment. Collectively, these results reveal the CDK8 subcomplex functions
    as a simple switch that controls the Mediator-pol II interaction to help regulate
    transcription initiation and reinitiation events. As Mediator is generally required
    for expression of protein-coding genes, this may reflect a common mechanism by
    which activated transcription is shut down in human cells.

  text: Behaviours evolve by iterations of natural selection, but we have few insights
    into the molecular and neural mechanisms involved. Here we show that some Caenorhabditis
    elegans wild strains switch between two foraging behaviours in response to subtle
    changes in ambient oxygen. This finely tuned switch is conferred by a naturally
    variable hexacoordinated globin, GLB-5. GLB-5 acts with the atypical soluble guanylate
    cyclases1,2,3, which are a different type of oxygen binding protein, to tune the
    dynamic range of oxygen-sensing neurons close to atmospheric (21%) concentrations.
    Calcium imaging indicates that one group of these neurons is activated when oxygen
    rises towards 21%, and is inhibited as oxygen drops below 21%. The soluble guanylate
    cyclase GCY-35 is required for high oxygen to activate the neurons; GLB-5 provides
    inhibitory input when oxygen decreases below 21%. Together, these oxygen binding
    proteins tune neuronal and behavioural responses to a narrow oxygen concentration
    range close to atmospheric levels. The effect of the glb-5 gene on oxygen sensing
    and foraging is modified by the naturally variable neuropeptide receptor npr-1
    (refs 4, 5), providing insights into how polygenic variation reshapes neural circuit
    function.

  text: 'During many cellular processes such as cell division, polarization and motility,
    the plasma membrane does not only represent a passive physical barrier, but also
    provides a highly dynamic platform for the interplay between lipids, membrane
    binding proteins and cytoskeletal elements. Even though many regulators of these
    interactions are known, their mutual interdependence appears to be highly complex
    and difficult to study in a living cell. Over the past few years, in vitro studies
    on membrane-cytoskeleton interactions using biomimetic membranes turned out to
    be extremely helpful to get better mechanistic insight into the dynamics of these
    processes. In this review, we discuss some of the recent developments using in
    vitro assays to dissect the role of the players involved: lipids in the membrane,
    proteins binding to membranes and proteins binding to membrane proteins. We also
    summarize advantages and disadvantages of supported lipid bilayers as model membrane.'
