text: 'We study partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) with objectives
used in verification and artificial intelligence. The qualitative analysis problem
given a POMDP and an objective asks whether there is a strategy (policy) to ensure
that the objective is satisfied almost surely (with probability 1), resp. with
positive probability (with probability greater than 0). For POMDPs with limit-average
payoff, where a reward value in the interval [0,1] is associated to every transition,
and the payoff of an infinite path is the long-run average of the rewards, we
consider two types of path constraints: (i) a quantitative limit-average constraint
defines the set of paths where the payoff is at least a given threshold L1 = 1.
Our main results for qualitative limit-average constraint under almost-sure winning
are as follows: (i) the problem of deciding the existence of a finite-memory controller
is EXPTIME-complete; and (ii) the problem of deciding the existence of an infinite-memory
controller is undecidable. For quantitative limit-average constraints we show
that the problem of deciding the existence of a finite-memory controller is undecidable.
We present a prototype implementation of our EXPTIME algorithm. For POMDPs with
w-regular conditions specified as parity objectives, while the qualitative analysis
problems are known to be undecidable even for very special case of parity objectives,
we establish decidability (with optimal complexity) of the qualitative analysis
problems for POMDPs with parity objectives under finite-memory strategies. We
establish optimal (exponential) memory bounds and EXPTIME-completeness of the
qualitative analysis problems under finite-memory strategies for POMDPs with parity
objectives. Based on our theoretical algorithms we also present a practical approach,
where we design heuristics to deal with the exponential complexity, and have applied
our implementation on a number of well-known POMDP examples for robotics applications.
For POMDPs with a set of target states and an integer cost associated with every
transition, we study the optimization objective that asks to minimize the expected
total cost of reaching a state in the target set, while ensuring that the target
set is reached almost surely. We show that for general integer costs approximating
the optimal cost is undecidable. For positive costs, our results are as follows:
(i) we establish matching lower and upper bounds for the optimal cost, both double
and exponential in the POMDP state space size; (ii) we show that the problem of
approximating the optimal cost is decidable and present approximation algorithms
that extend existing algorithms for POMDPs with finite-horizon objectives. We
show experimentally that it performs well in many examples of interest. We study
more deeply the problem of almost-sure reachability, where given a set of target
states, the question is to decide whether there is a strategy to ensure that the
target set is reached almost surely. While in general the problem EXPTIME-complete,
in many practical cases strategies with a small amount of memory suffice. Moreover,
the existing solution to the problem is explicit, which first requires to construct
explicitly an exponential reduction to a belief-support MDP. We first study the
existence of observation-stationary strategies, which is NP-complete, and then
small-memory strategies. We present a symbolic algorithm by an efficient encoding
to SAT and using a SAT solver for the problem. We report experimental results
demonstrating the scalability of our symbolic (SAT-based) approach. Decentralized
POMDPs (DEC-POMDPs) extend POMDPs to a multi-agent setting, where several agents
operate in an uncertain environment independently to achieve a joint objective.
In this work we consider Goal DEC-POMDPs, where given a set of target states,
the objective is to ensure that the target set is reached with minimal cost. We
consider the indefinite-horizon (infinite-horizon with either discounted-sum,
or undiscounted-sum, where absorbing goal states have zero-cost) problem. We present
a new and novel method to solve the problem that extends methods for finite-horizon
DEC-POMDPs and the real-time dynamic programming approach for POMDPs. We present
experimental results on several examples, and show that our approach presents
promising results. In the end we present a short summary of a few other results
related to verification of MDPs and POMDPs.'

text: 'Brood parasites exploit their host in order to increase their own fitness.
Typically, this results in an arms race between parasite trickery and host defence.
Thus, it is puzzling to observe hosts that accept parasitism without any resistance.
The ‘mafia’ hypothesis suggests that these hosts accept parasitism to avoid retaliation.
Retaliation has been shown to evolve when the hosts condition their response to
mafia parasites, who use depredation as a targeted response to rejection. However,
it is unclear if acceptance would also emerge when ‘farming’ parasites are present
in the population. Farming parasites use depredation to synchronize the timing
with the host, destroying mature clutches to force the host to re-nest. Herein,
we develop an evolutionary model to analyse the interaction between depredatory
parasites and their hosts. We show that coevolutionary cycles between farmers
and mafia can still induce host acceptance of brood parasites. However, this equilibrium
is unstable and in the long-run the dynamics of this host–parasite interaction
exhibits strong oscillations: when farmers are the majority, accepters conditional
to mafia (the host will reject first and only accept after retaliation by the
parasite) have a higher fitness than unconditional accepters (the host always
accepts parasitism). This leads to an increase in mafia parasites’ fitness and
in turn induce an optimal environment for accepter hosts.'

text: Automata with monitor counters, where the transitions do not depend on counter
values, and nested weighted automata are two expressive automata-theoretic frameworks
for quantitative properties. For a well-studied and wide class of quantitative
functions, we establish that automata with monitor counters and nested weighted
automata are equivalent. We study for the first time such quantitative automata
under probabilistic semantics. We show that several problems that are undecidable
for the classical questions of emptiness and universality become decidable under
the probabilistic semantics. We present a complete picture of decidability for
such automata, and even an almost-complete picture of computational complexity,
for the probabilistic questions we consider.

text: We study algorithmic questions for concurrent systems where the transitions
are labeled from a complete, closed semiring, and path properties are algebraic
with semiring operations. The algebraic path properties can model dataflow analysis
problems, the shortest path problem, and many other natural problems that arise
in program analysis. We consider that each component of the concurrent system
is a graph with constant treewidth, a property satisfied by the controlflow graphs
of most programs. We allow for multiple possible queries, which arise naturally
in demand driven dataflow analysis. The study of multiple queries allows us to
consider the tradeoff between the resource usage of the one-time preprocessing
and for each individual query. The traditional approach constructs the product
graph of all components and applies the best-known graph algorithm on the product.
In this approach, even the answer to a single query requires the transitive closure
(i.e., the results of all possible queries), which provides no room for tradeoff
between preprocessing and query time. Our main contributions are algorithms that
significantly improve the worst-case running time of the traditional approach,
and provide various tradeoffs depending on the number of queries. For example,
in a concurrent system of two components, the traditional approach requires hexic
time in the worst case for answering one query as well as computing the transitive
closure, whereas we show that with one-time preprocessing in almost cubic time,
each subsequent query can be answered in at most linear time, and even the transitive
closure can be computed in almost quartic time. Furthermore, we establish conditional
optimality results showing that the worst-case running time of our algorithms
cannot be improved without achieving major breakthroughs in graph algorithms (i.e.,
improving the worst-case bound for the shortest path problem in general graphs).
Preliminary experimental results show that our algorithms perform favorably on
several benchmarks.

text: We consider nondeterministic probabilistic programs with the most basic liveness
property of termination. We present efficient methods for termination analysis
of nondeterministic probabilistic programs with polynomial guards and assignments.
Our approach is through synthesis of polynomial ranking supermartingales, that
on one hand significantly generalizes linear ranking supermartingales and on the
other hand is a counterpart of polynomial ranking-functions for proving termination
of nonprobabilistic programs. The approach synthesizes polynomial ranking-supermartingales
through Positivstellensatz's, yielding an efficient method which is not only sound,
but also semi-complete over a large subclass of programs. We show experimental
results to demonstrate that our approach can handle several classical programs
with complex polynomial guards and assignments, and can synthesize efficient quadratic
ranking-supermartingales when a linear one does not exist even for simple affine
programs.

text: 'Simple board games, like Tic-Tac-Toe and CONNECT-4, play an important role
not only in the development of mathematical and logical skills, but also in the
emotional and social development. In this paper, we address the problem of generating
targeted starting positions for such games. This can facilitate new approaches
for bringing novice players to mastery, and also leads to discovery of interesting
game variants. We present an approach that generates starting states of varying
hardness levels for player 1 in a two-player board game, given rules of the board
game, the desired number of steps required for player 1 to win, and the expertise
levels of the two players. Our approach leverages symbolic methods and iterative
simulation to efficiently search the extremely large state space. We present experimental
results that include discovery of states of varying hardness levels for several
simple grid-based board games. The presence of such states for standard game variants
like 4×4 Tic-Tac-Toe opens up new games to be played that have never been played
as the default start state is heavily biased. '

text: 'We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) which are a standard model for
probabilistic systems. We focus on qualitative properties for MDPs that can express
that desired behaviors of the system arise almost-surely (with probability 1)
or with positive probability. We introduce a new simulation relation to capture
the refinement relation of MDPs with respect to qualitative properties, and present
discrete graph algorithms with quadratic complexity to compute the simulation
relation. We present an automated technique for assume-guarantee style reasoning
for compositional analysis of two-player games by giving a counterexample guided
abstraction-refinement approach to compute our new simulation relation. We show
a tight link between two-player games and MDPs, and as a consequence the results
for games are lifted to MDPs with qualitative properties. We have implemented
our algorithms and show that the compositional analysis leads to significant improvements. '

text: We extend the theory of input-output conformance with operators for merge
and quotient. The former is useful when testing against multiple requirements
or views. The latter can be used to generate tests for patches of an already tested
system. Both operators can combine systems with different action alphabets, which
is usually the case when constructing complex systems and specifications from
parts, for instance different views as well as newly defined functionality of
a~previous version of the system.

text: 'There are deep, yet largely unexplored, connections between computer science
and biology. Both disciplines examine how information proliferates in time and
space. Central results in computer science describe the complexity of algorithms
that solve certain classes of problems. An algorithm is deemed efficient if it
can solve a problem in polynomial time, which means the running time of the algorithm
is a polynomial function of the length of the input. There are classes of harder
problems for which the fastest possible algorithm requires exponential time. Another
criterion is the space requirement of the algorithm. There is a crucial distinction
between algorithms that can find a solution, verify a solution, or list several
distinct solutions in given time and space. The complexity hierarchy that is generated
in this way is the foundation of theoretical computer science. Precise complexity
results can be notoriously difficult. The famous question whether polynomial time
equals nondeterministic polynomial time (i.e., P = NP) is one of the hardest open
problems in computer science and all of mathematics. Here, we consider simple
processes of ecological and evolutionary spatial dynamics. The basic question
is: What is the probability that a new invader (or a new mutant)will take over
a resident population?We derive precise complexity results for a variety of scenarios.
We therefore show that some fundamental questions in this area cannot be answered
by simple equations (assuming that P is not equal to NP).'

text: Quantitative extensions of temporal logics have recently attracted significant
attention. In this work, we study frequency LTL (fLTL), an extension of LTL which
allows to speak about frequencies of events along an execution. Such an extension
is particularly useful for probabilistic systems that often cannot fulfil strict
qualitative guarantees on the behaviour. It has been recently shown that controller
synthesis for Markov decision processes and fLTL is decidable when all the bounds
on frequencies are 1. As a step towards a complete quantitative solution, we show
that the problem is decidable for the fragment fLTL\GU, where U does not occur
in the scope of G (but still F can). Our solution is based on a novel translation
of such quantitative formulae into equivalent deterministic automata.

text: 'We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with specifications given as
Büchi (liveness) objectives, and examine the problem of computing the set of almost-sure
winning vertices such that the objective can be ensured with probability 1 from
these vertices. We study for the first time the average-case complexity of the
classical algorithm for computing the set of almost-sure winning vertices for
MDPs with Büchi objectives. Our contributions are as follows: First, we show that
for MDPs with constant out-degree the expected number of iterations is at most
logarithmic and the average-case running time is linear (as compared to the worst-case
linear number of iterations and quadratic time complexity). Second, for the average-case
analysis over all MDPs we show that the expected number of iterations is constant
and the average-case running time is linear (again as compared to the worst-case
linear number of iterations and quadratic time complexity). Finally we also show
that when all MDPs are equally likely, the probability that the classical algorithm
requires more than a constant number of iterations is exponentially small.'

text: We propose a flexible exchange format for ω-automata, as typically used in
formal verification, and implement support for it in a range of established tools.
Our aim is to simplify the interaction of tools, helping the research community
to build upon other people’s work. A key feature of the format is the use of very
generic acceptance conditions, specified by Boolean combinations of acceptance
primitives, rather than being limited to common cases such as Büchi, Streett,
or Rabin. Such flexibility in the choice of acceptance conditions can be exploited
in applications, for example in probabilistic model checking, and furthermore
encourages the development of acceptance-agnostic tools for automata manipulations.
The format allows acceptance conditions that are either state-based or transition-based,
and also supports alternating automata.

text: Interprocedural analysis is at the heart of numerous applications in programming
languages, such as alias analysis, constant propagation, etc. Recursive state
machines (RSMs) are standard models for interprocedural analysis. We consider
a general framework with RSMs where the transitions are labeled from a semiring,
and path properties are algebraic with semiring operations. RSMs with algebraic
path properties can model interprocedural dataflow analysis problems, the shortest
path problem, the most probable path problem, etc. The traditional algorithms
for interprocedural analysis focus on path properties where the starting point
is fixed as the entry point of a specific method. In this work, we consider possible
multiple queries as required in many applications such as in alias analysis. The
study of multiple queries allows us to bring in a very important algorithmic distinction
between the resource usage of the one-time preprocessing vs for each individual
query. The second aspect that we consider is that the control flow graphs for
most programs have constant treewidth. Our main contributions are simple and implementable
algorithms that supportmultiple queries for algebraic path properties for RSMs
that have constant treewidth. Our theoretical results show that our algorithms
have small additional one-time preprocessing, but can answer subsequent queries
significantly faster as compared to the current best-known solutions for several
important problems, such as interprocedural reachability and shortest path. We
provide a prototype implementation for interprocedural reachability and intraprocedural
shortest path that gives a significant speed-up on several benchmarks.

text: "For deterministic systems, a counterexample to a property can simply be an
error trace, whereas counterexamples in probabilistic systems are necessarily
more complex. For instance, a set of erroneous traces with a sufficient cumulative
probability mass can be used. Since these are too large objects to understand
and manipulate, compact representations such as subchains have been considered.
In the case of probabilistic systems with non-determinism, the situation is even
more complex. While a subchain for a given strategy (or scheduler, resolving non-determinism)
is a straightforward choice, we take a different approach. Instead, we focus on
the strategy itself, and extract the most important decisions it makes, and present
its succinct representation.\r\nThe key tools we employ to achieve this are (1)
introducing a concept of importance of a state w.r.t. the strategy, and (2) learning
using decision trees. There are three main consequent advantages of our approach.
Firstly, it exploits the quantitative information on states, stressing the more
important decisions. Secondly, it leads to a greater variability and degree of
freedom in representing the strategies. Thirdly, the representation uses a self-explanatory
data structure. In summary, our approach produces more succinct and more explainable
strategies, as opposed to e.g. binary decision diagrams. Finally, our experimental
results show that we can extract several rules describing the strategy even for
very large systems that do not fit in memory, and based on the rules explain the
erroneous behaviour."

text: We consider the quantitative analysis problem for interprocedural control-flow
graphs (ICFGs). The input consists of an ICFG, a positive weight function that
assigns every transition a positive integer-valued number, and a labelling of
the transitions (events) as good, bad, and neutral events. The weight function
assigns to each transition a numerical value that represents ameasure of how good
or bad an event is. The quantitative analysis problem asks whether there is a
run of the ICFG where the ratio of the sum of the numerical weights of good events
versus the sum of weights of bad events in the long-run is at least a given threshold
(or equivalently, to compute the maximal ratio among all valid paths in the ICFG).
The quantitative analysis problem for ICFGs can be solved in polynomial time,
and we present an efficient and practical algorithm for the problem. We show that
several problems relevant for static program analysis, such as estimating the
worst-case execution time of a program or the average energy consumption of a
mobile application, can be modeled in our framework. We have implemented our algorithm
as a tool in the Java Soot framework. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our
approach with two case studies. First, we show that our framework provides a sound
approach (no false positives) for the analysis of inefficiently-used containers.
Second, we show that our approach can also be used for static profiling of programs
which reasons about methods that are frequently invoked. Our experimental results
show that our tool scales to relatively large benchmarks, and discovers relevant
and useful information that can be used to optimize performance of the programs.

text: We consider the core algorithmic problems related to verification of systems
with respect to three classical quantitative properties, namely, the mean-payoff
property, the ratio property, and the minimum initial credit for energy property.
The algorithmic problem given a graph and a quantitative property asks to compute
the optimal value (the infimum value over all traces) from every node of the graph.
We consider graphs with constant treewidth, and it is well-known that the control-flow
graphs of most programs have constant treewidth. Let n denote the number of nodes
of a graph, m the number of edges (for constant treewidth graphs m=O(n)) and W
the largest absolute value of the weights. Our main theoretical results are as
follows. First, for constant treewidth graphs we present an algorithm that approximates
the mean-payoff value within a multiplicative factor of ϵ in time O(n⋅log(n/ϵ))
and linear space, as compared to the classical algorithms that require quadratic
time. Second, for the ratio property we present an algorithm that for constant
treewidth graphs works in time O(n⋅log(|a⋅b|))=O(n⋅log(n⋅W)), when the output
is ab, as compared to the previously best known algorithm with running time O(n2⋅log(n⋅W)).
Third, for the minimum initial credit problem we show that (i) for general graphs
the problem can be solved in O(n2⋅m) time and the associated decision problem
can be solved in O(n⋅m) time, improving the previous known O(n3⋅m⋅log(n⋅W)) and
O(n2⋅m) bounds, respectively; and (ii) for constant treewidth graphs we present
an algorithm that requires O(n⋅logn) time, improving the previous known O(n4⋅log(n⋅W))
bound. We have implemented some of our algorithms and show that they present a
significant speedup on standard benchmarks.

text: The synthesis problem asks for the automatic construction of a system from
its specification. In the traditional setting, the system is “constructed from
scratch” rather than composed from reusable components. However, this is rare
in practice, and almost every non-trivial software system relies heavily on the
use of libraries of reusable components. Recently, Lustig and Vardi introduced
dataflow and controlflow synthesis from libraries of reusable components. They
proved that dataflow synthesis is undecidable, while controlflow synthesis is
decidable. The problem of controlflow synthesis from libraries of probabilistic
components was considered by Nain, Lustig and Vardi, and was shown to be decidable
for qualitative analysis (that asks that the specification be satisfied with probability
1). Our main contribution for controlflow synthesis from probabilistic components
is to establish better complexity bounds for the qualitative analysis problem,
and to show that the more general quantitative problem is undecidable. For the
qualitative analysis, we show that the problem (i) is EXPTIME-complete when the
specification is given as a deterministic parity word automaton, improving the
previously known 2EXPTIME upper bound; and (ii) belongs to UP ∩ coUP and is parity-games
hard, when the specification is given directly as a parity condition on the components,
improving the previously known EXPTIME upper bound.

text: Population structure can facilitate evolution of cooperation. In a structured
population, cooperators can form clusters which resist exploitation by defectors.
Recently, it was observed that a shift update rule is an extremely strong amplifier
of cooperation in a one dimensional spatial model. For the shift update rule,
an individual is chosen for reproduction proportional to fecundity; the offspring
is placed next to the parent; a random individual dies. Subsequently, the population
is rearranged (shifted) until all individual cells are again evenly spaced out.
For large population size and a one dimensional population structure, the shift
update rule favors cooperation for any benefit-to-cost ratio greater than one.
But every attempt to generalize shift updating to higher dimensions while maintaining
its strong effect has failed. The reason is that in two dimensions the clusters
are fragmented by the movements caused by rearranging the cells. Here we introduce
the natural phenomenon of a repulsive force between cells of different types.
After a birth and death event, the cells are being rearranged minimizing the overall
energy expenditure. If the repulsive force is sufficiently high, shift becomes
a strong promoter of cooperation in two dimensions.
