  text: 'We consider concurrent mean-payoff games, a very well-studied class of two-player
    (player 1 vs player 2) zero-sum games on finite-state graphs where every transition
    is assigned a reward between 0 and 1, and the payoff function is the long-run
    average of the rewards. The value is the maximal expected payoff that player 1
    can guarantee against all strategies of player 2. We consider the computation
    of the set of states with value 1 under finite-memory strategies for player 1,
    and our main results for the problem are as follows: (1) we present a polynomial-time
    algorithm; (2) we show that whenever there is a finite-memory strategy, there
    is a stationary strategy that does not need memory at all; and (3) we present
    an optimal bound (which is double exponential) on the patience of stationary strategies
    (where patience of a distribution is the inverse of the smallest positive probability
    and represents a complexity measure of a stationary strategy).'

  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: We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), that
    are a standard framework for robotics applications to model uncertainties present
    in the real world, with temporal logic specifications. All temporal logic specifications
    in linear-time temporal logic (LTL) can be expressed as parity objectives. We
    study the qualitative analysis problem for POMDPs with parity objectives that
    asks whether there is a controller (policy) to ensure that the objective holds
    with probability 1 (almost-surely). While the qualitative analysis of POMDPs with
    parity objectives is undecidable, recent results show that when restricted to
    finite-memory policies the problem is EXPTIME-complete. While the problem is intractable
    in theory, we present a practical approach to solve the qualitative analysis problem.
    We designed several heuristics to deal with the exponential complexity, and have
    used our implementation on a number of well-known POMDP examples for robotics
    applications. Our results provide the first practical approach to solve the qualitative
    analysis of robot motion planning with LTL properties in the presence of uncertainty.

  text: Synthesis of program parts is particularly useful for concurrent systems.
    However, most approaches do not support common design tasks, like modifying a
    single process without having to re-synthesize or verify the whole system. Assume-guarantee
    synthesis (AGS) provides robustness against modifications of system parts, but
    thus far has been limited to the perfect information setting. This means that
    local variables cannot be hidden from other processes, which renders synthesis
    results cumbersome or even impossible to realize.We resolve this shortcoming by
    defining AGS under partial information. We analyze the complexity and decidability
    in different settings, showing that the problem has a high worstcase complexity
    and is undecidable in many interesting cases. Based on these observations, we
    present a pragmatic algorithm based on bounded synthesis, and demonstrate its
    practical applicability on several examples.

  text: We present MultiGain, a tool to synthesize strategies for Markov decision
    processes (MDPs) with multiple mean-payoff objectives. Our models are described
    in PRISM, and our tool uses the existing interface and simulator of PRISM. Our
    tool extends PRISM by adding novel algorithms for multiple mean-payoff objectives,
    and also provides features such as (i) generating strategies and exploring them
    for simulation, and checking them with respect to other properties; and (ii) generating
    an approximate Pareto curve for two mean-payoff objectives. In addition, we present
    a new practical algorithm for the analysis of MDPs with multiple mean-payoff objectives
    under memoryless strategies.

  text: The edit distance between two words w1, w2 is the minimal number of word operations
    (letter insertions, deletions, and substitutions) necessary to transform w1 to
    w2. The edit distance generalizes to languages L1,L2, where the edit distance
    is the minimal number k such that for every word from L1 there exists a word in
    L2 with edit distance at most k. We study the edit distance computation problem
    between pushdown automata and their subclasses. The problem of computing edit
    distance to pushdown automata is undecidable, and in practice, the interesting
    question is to compute the edit distance from a pushdown automaton (the implementation,
    a standard model for programs with recursion) to a regular language (the specification).
    In this work, we present a complete picture of decidability and complexity for
    deciding whether, for a given threshold k, the edit distance from a pushdown automaton
    to a finite automaton is at most k.

  text: 'We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple limit-average
    (or mean-payoff) objectives. There exist two different views: (i) ~the expectation
    semantics, where the goal is to optimize the expected mean-payoff objective, and
    (ii) ~the satisfaction semantics, where the goal is to maximize the probability
    of runs such that the mean-payoff value stays above a given vector. We consider
    optimization with respect to both objectives at once, thus unifying the existing
    semantics. Precisely, the goal is to optimize the expectation while ensuring the
    satisfaction constraint. Our problem captures the notion of optimization with
    respect to strategies that are risk-averse (i.e., Ensure certain probabilistic
    guarantee). Our main results are as follows: First, we present algorithms for
    the decision problems, which are always polynomial in the size of the MDP. We
    also show that an approximation of the Pareto curve can be computed in time polynomial
    in the size of the MDP, and the approximation factor, but exponential in the number
    of dimensions. Second, we present a complete characterization of the strategy
    complexity (in terms of memory bounds and randomization) required to solve our
    problem. '

  text: "We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple limit-average
    (or mean-payoff) objectives. \r\nThere have been two different views: (i) the
    expectation semantics, where the goal is to optimize the expected mean-payoff
    objective, and (ii) the satisfaction semantics, where the goal is to maximize
    the probability of runs such that the mean-payoff value stays above a given vector.
    \ \r\nWe consider the problem where the goal is to optimize the expectation under
    the constraint that the satisfaction semantics is ensured, and thus consider a
    generalization that unifies the existing semantics. Our problem captures the notion
    of optimization with respect to strategies that are risk-averse (i.e., ensures
    certain probabilistic guarantee).\r\nOur main results are algorithms for the decision
    problem which are always polynomial in the size of the MDP.\r\nWe also show that
    an approximation of the Pareto-curve can be computed in time polynomial in the
    size of the MDP, and the approximation factor, but exponential in the number of
    dimensions. Finally, we present a complete characterization of the strategy complexity
    (in terms of memory bounds and randomization) required to solve our problem."

  text: "The edit distance between two words w1, w2 is the minimal number of word
    operations (letter insertions, deletions, and substitutions) necessary to transform
    w1 to w2. The edit distance generalizes to languages L1, L2, where the edit distance
    is the minimal number k such that for every word from L1 there exists a word in
    L2 with edit distance at most k. We study the edit distance computation problem
    between pushdown automata and their subclasses.\r\nThe problem of computing edit
    distance to a pushdown automaton is undecidable, and in practice, the interesting
    question is to compute the edit distance from a pushdown automaton (the implementation,
    a standard model for programs with recursion) to a regular language (the specification).
    In this work, we present a complete picture of decidability and complexity for
    deciding whether, for a given threshold k, the edit distance from a pushdown automaton
    to a finite automaton is at most k. "

  text: The computation of the winning set for one-pair Streett objectives and for
    k-pair Streett objectives in (standard) graphs as well as in game graphs are central
    problems in computer-aided verification, with application to the verification
    of closed systems with strong fairness conditions, the verification of open systems,
    checking interface compatibility, well-formed ness of specifications, and the
    synthesis of reactive systems. We give faster algorithms for the computation of
    the winning set for (1) one-pair Streett objectives (aka parity-3 problem) in
    game graphs and (2) for k-pair Streett objectives in graphs. For both problems
    this represents the first improvement in asymptotic running time in 15 years.

  text: Opacity is a generic security property, that has been defined on (non-probabilistic)
    transition systems and later on Markov chains with labels. For a secret predicate,
    given as a subset of runs, and a function describing the view of an external observer,
    the value of interest for opacity is a measure of the set of runs disclosing the
    secret. We extend this definition to the richer framework of Markov decision processes,
    where non-deterministicchoice is combined with probabilistic transitions, and
    we study related decidability problems with partial or complete observation hypotheses
    for the schedulers. We prove that all questions are decidable with complete observation
    and ω-regular secrets. With partial observation, we prove that all quantitative
    questions are undecidable but the question whether a system is almost surely non-opaquebecomes
    decidable for a restricted class of ω-regular secrets, as well as for all ω-regular
    secrets under finite-memory schedulers.

  text: Recently there has been a significant effort to handle quantitative properties
    in formal verification and synthesis. While weighted automata over finite and
    infinite words provide a natural and flexible framework to express quantitative
    properties, perhaps surprisingly, some basic system properties such as average
    response time cannot be expressed using weighted automata, nor in any other know
    decidable formalism. In this work, we introduce nested weighted automata as a
    natural extension of weighted automata which makes it possible to express important
    quantitative properties such as average response time. In nested weighted automata,
    a master automaton spins off and collects results from weighted slave automata,
    each of which computes a quantity along a finite portion of an infinite word.
    Nested weighted automata can be viewed as the quantitative analogue of monitor
    automata, which are used in run-time verification. We establish an almost complete
    decidability picture for the basic decision problems about nested weighted automata,
    and illustrate their applicability in several domains. In particular, nested weighted
    automata can be used to decide average response time properties.

  text: The competition for resources among cells, individuals or species is a fundamental
    characteristic of evolution. Biological all-pay auctions have been used to model
    situations where multiple individuals compete for a single resource. However,
    in many situations multiple resources with various values exist and single reward
    auctions are not applicable. We generalize the model to multiple rewards and study
    the evolution of strategies. In biological all-pay auctions the bid of an individual
    corresponds to its strategy and is equivalent to its payment in the auction. The
    decreasingly ordered rewards are distributed according to the decreasingly ordered
    bids of the participating individuals. The reproductive success of an individual
    is proportional to its fitness given by the sum of the rewards won minus its payments.
    Hence, successful bidding strategies spread in the population. We find that the
    results for the multiple reward case are very different from the single reward
    case. While the mixed strategy equilibrium in the single reward case with more
    than two players consists of mostly low-bidding individuals, we show that the
    equilibrium can convert to many high-bidding individuals and a few low-bidding
    individuals in the multiple reward case. Some reward values lead to a specialization
    among the individuals where one subpopulation competes for the rewards and the
    other subpopulation largely avoids costly competitions. Whether the mixed strategy
    equilibrium is an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) depends on the specific
    values of the rewards.

  text: Cancer results from an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Sequentially
    accumulated genetic and epigenetic alterations decrease cell death and increase
    cell replication. We used mathematical models to quantify the effect of driver
    gene mutations. The recently developed targeted therapies can lead to dramatic
    regressions. However, in solid cancers, clinical responses are often short-lived
    because resistant cancer cells evolve. We estimated that approximately 50 different
    mutations can confer resistance to a typical targeted therapeutic agent. We find
    that resistant cells are likely to be present in expanded subclones before the
    start of the treatment. The dominant strategy to prevent the evolution of resistance
    is combination therapy. Our analytical results suggest that in most patients,
    dual therapy, but not monotherapy, can result in long-term disease control. However,
    long-term control can only occur if there are no possible mutations in the genome
    that can cause cross-resistance to both drugs. Furthermore, we showed that simultaneous
    therapy with two drugs is much more likely to result in long-term disease control
    than sequential therapy with the same drugs. To improve our understanding of the
    underlying subclonal evolution we reconstruct the evolutionary history of a patient's
    cancer from next-generation sequencing data of spatially-distinct DNA samples.
    Using a quantitative measure of genetic relatedness, we found that pancreatic
    cancers and their metastases demonstrated a higher level of relatedness than that
    expected for any two cells randomly taken from a normal tissue. This minimal amount
    of genetic divergence among advanced lesions indicates that genetic heterogeneity,
    when quantitatively defined, is not a fundamental feature of the natural history
    of untreated pancreatic cancers. Our newly developed, phylogenomic tool Treeomics
    finds evidence for seeding patterns of metastases and can directly be used to
    discover rules governing the evolution of solid malignancies to transform cancer
    into a more predictable disease.

  text: 'We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) with
    a set of target states and every transition is associated with an integer cost.
    The optimization objec- tive we study asks to minimize the expected total cost
    till the target set is reached, while ensuring that the target set is reached
    almost-surely (with probability 1). We show that for 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 and the
    bound is double exponential; (ii) we show that the problem of approximating the
    optimal cost is decidable and present ap- proximation algorithms developing on
    the existing algorithms for POMDPs with finite-horizon objectives. While the worst-
    case running time of our algorithm is double exponential, we present efficient
    stopping criteria for the algorithm and show experimentally that it performs well
    in many examples.'

  text: "We revisit the parameterized model checking problem for token-passing systems
    and specifications in indexed CTL  ∗ \\X. Emerson and Namjoshi (1995, 2003) have
    shown that parameterized model checking of indexed CTL  ∗ \\X in uni-directional
    token rings can be reduced to checking rings up to some cutoff size. Clarke et
    al. (2004) have shown a similar result for general topologies and indexed LTL
    \\X, provided processes cannot choose the directions for sending or receiving
    the token.\r\nWe unify and substantially extend these results by systematically
    exploring fragments of indexed CTL  ∗ \\X with respect to general topologies.
    For each fragment we establish whether a cutoff exists, and for some concrete
    topologies, such as rings, cliques and stars, we infer small cutoffs. Finally,
    we show that the problem becomes undecidable, and thus no cutoffs exist, if processes
    are allowed to choose the directions in which they send or from which they receive
    the token."

  text: "Two-player games on graphs provide the theoretical framework for many important
    problems such as reactive synthesis. While the traditional study of two-player
    zero-sum games has been extended to multi-player games with several notions of
    equilibria, they are decidable only for perfect-information games, whereas several
    applications require imperfect-information games.\r\nIn this paper we propose
    a new notion of equilibria, called doomsday equilibria, which is a strategy profile
    such that all players satisfy their own objective, and if any coalition of players
    deviates and violates even one of the players objective, then the objective of
    every player is violated.\r\nWe present algorithms and complexity results for
    deciding the existence of doomsday equilibria for various classes of ω-regular
    objectives, both for imperfect-information games, and for perfect-information
    games.We provide optimal complexity bounds for imperfect-information games, and
    in most cases for perfect-information games."
