text: We study synthesis of controllers for real-time systems, where the objective
is to stay in a given safe set. The problem is solved by obtaining winning strategies
in the setting of concurrent two-player timed automaton games with safety objectives.
To prevent a player from winning by blocking time, we restrict each player to
strategies that ensure that the player cannot be responsible for causing a zeno
run. We construct winning strategies for the controller which require access only
to (1) the system clocks (thus, controllers which require their own internal infinitely
precise clocks are not necessary), and (2) a linear (in the number of clocks)
number of memory bits. Precisely, we show that for safety objectives, a memory
of size (3 · |C|+lg(|C|+1)) bits suffices for winning controller strategies, where
C is the set of clocks of the timed automaton game, significantly improving the
previous known exponential bound. We also settle the open question of whether
winning region controller strategies require memory for safety objectives by showing
with an example the necessity of memory for region strategies to win for safety
objectives.

text: 'Games on graphs provide a natural model for reactive non-terminating systems.
In such games, the interaction of two players on an arena results in an infinite
path that describes a run of the system. Different settings are used to model
various open systems in computer science, as for instance turn-based or concurrent
moves, and deterministic or stochastic transitions. In this paper, we are interested
in turn-based games, and specifically in deterministic parity games and stochastic
reachability games (also known as simple stochastic games). We present a simple,
direct and efficient reduction from deterministic parity games to simple stochastic
games: it yields an arena whose size is linear up to a logarithmic factor in size
of the original arena.'

text: A controller for a discrete game with ω-regular objectives requires attention
if, intuitively, it requires measuring the state and switching from the current
control action. Minimum attention controllers are preferable in modern shared
implementations of cyber-physical systems because they produce the least burden
on system resources such as processor time or communication bandwidth. We give
algorithms to compute minimum attention controllers for ω-regular objectives in
imperfect information discrete two-player games. We show a polynomial-time reduction
from minimum attention controller synthesis to synthesis of controllers for mean-payoff
parity objectives in games of incomplete information. This gives an optimal EXPTIME-complete
synthesis algorithm. We show that the minimum attention controller problem is
decidable for infinite state systems with finite bisimulation quotients. In particular,
the problem is decidable for timed and rectangular automata.

text: In two-player games on graph, the players construct an infinite path through
the game graph and get a reward computed by a payoff function over infinite paths.
Over weighted graphs, the typical and most studied payoff functions compute the
limit-average or the discounted sum of the rewards along the path. Besides their
simple definition, these two payoff functions enjoy the property that memoryless
optimal strategies always exist. In an attempt to construct other simple payoff
functions, we define a class of payoff functions which compute an (infinite) weighted
average of the rewards. This new class contains both the limit-average and the
discounted sum functions, and we show that they are the only members of this class
which induce memoryless optimal strategies, showing that there is essentially
no other simple payoff functions.

text: Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) protocols aim to improve the reliability of
distributed systems. They enable systems to tolerate arbitrary failures in a bounded
number of nodes. BFT protocols are usually proven correct for certain safety and
liveness properties. However, recent studies have shown that the performance of
state-of-the-art BFT protocols decreases drastically in the presence of even a
single malicious node. This motivates a formal quantitative analysis of BFT protocols
to investigate their performance characteristics under different scenarios. We
present HyPerf, a new hybrid methodology based on model checking and simulation
techniques for evaluating the performance of BFT protocols. We build a transition
system corresponding to a BFT protocol and systematically explore the set of behaviors
allowed by the protocol. We associate certain timing information with different
operations in the protocol, like cryptographic operations and message transmission.
After an elaborate state exploration, we use the time information to evaluate
the performance characteristics of the protocol using simulation techniques. We
integrate our framework in Mace, a tool for building and verifying distributed
systems. We evaluate the performance of PBFT using our framework. We describe
two different use-cases of our methodology. For the benign operation of the protocol,
we use the time information as random variables to compute the probability distribution
of the execution times. In the presence of faults, we estimate the worst-case
performance of the protocol for various attacks that can be employed by malicious
nodes. Our results show the importance of hybrid techniques in systematically
analyzing the performance of large-scale systems.

text: We consider two-player graph games whose objectives are request-response condition,
i.e conjunctions of conditions of the form "if a state with property Rq is visited,
then later a state with property Rp is visited". The winner of such games can
be decided in EXPTIME and the problem is known to be NP-hard. In this paper, we
close this gap by showing that this problem is, in fact, EXPTIME-complete. We
show that the problem becomes PSPACE-complete if we only consider games played
on DAGs, and NP-complete or PTIME-complete if there is only one player (depending
on whether he wants to enforce or spoil the request-response condition). We also
present near-optimal bounds on the memory needed to design winning strategies
for each player, in each case.

text: The static scheduling problem often arises as a fundamental problem in real-time
systems and grid computing. We consider the problem of statically scheduling a
large job expressed as a task graph on a large number of computing nodes, such
as a data center. This paper solves the large-scale static scheduling problem
using abstraction refinement, a technique commonly used in formal verification
to efficiently solve computationally hard problems. A scheduler based on abstraction
refinement first attempts to solve the scheduling problem with abstract representations
of the job and the computing resources. As abstract representations are generally
small, the scheduling can be done reasonably fast. If the obtained schedule does
not meet specified quality conditions (like data center utilization or schedule
makespan) then the scheduler refines the job and data center abstractions and,
again solves the scheduling problem. We develop different schedulers based on
abstraction refinement. We implemented these schedulers and used them to schedule
task graphs from various computing domains on simulated data centers with realistic
topologies. We compared the speed of scheduling and the quality of the produced
schedules with our abstraction refinement schedulers against a baseline scheduler
that does not use any abstraction. We conclude that abstraction refinement techniques
give a significant speed-up compared to traditional static scheduling heuristics,
at a reasonable cost in the quality of the produced schedules. We further used
our static schedulers in an actual system that we deployed on Amazon EC2 and compared
it against the Hadoop dynamic scheduler for large MapReduce jobs. Our experiments
indicate that there is great potential for static scheduling techniques.

text: "Motivated by improvements in constraint-solving technology and by the increase
of routinely available computational power, partial-program synthesis is emerging
as an effective approach for increasing programmer productivity. The goal of the
approach is to allow the programmer to specify a part of her intent imperatively
(that is, give a partial program) and a part of her intent declaratively, by specifying
which conditions need to be achieved or maintained. The task of the synthesizer
is to construct a program that satisfies the specification. As an example, consider
a partial program where threads access shared data without using any synchronization
mechanism, and a declarative specification that excludes data races and deadlocks.
The task of the synthesizer is then to place locks into the program code in order
for the program to meet the specification.\r\n\r\nIn this paper, we argue that
quantitative objectives are needed in partial-program synthesis in order to produce
higher-quality programs, while enabling simpler specifications. Returning to the
example, the synthesizer could construct a naive solution that uses one global
lock for shared data. This can be prevented either by constraining the solution
space further (which is error-prone and partly defeats the point of synthesis),
or by optimizing a quantitative objective that models performance. Other quantitative
notions useful in synthesis include fault tolerance, robustness, resource (memory,
power) consumption, and information flow."

text: 'A discounted-sum automaton (NDA) is a nondeterministic finite automaton with
edge weights, which values a run by the discounted sum of visited edge weights.
More precisely, the weight in the i-th position of the run is divided by lambda^i,
where the discount factor lambda is a fixed rational number greater than 1. Discounted
summation is a common and useful measuring scheme, especially for infinite sequences,
which reflects the assumption that earlier weights are more important than later
weights. Determinizing automata is often essential, for example, in formal verification,
where there are polynomial algorithms for comparing two deterministic NDAs, while
the equivalence problem for NDAs is not known to be decidable. Unfortunately,
however, discounted-sum automata are, in general, not determinizable: it is currently
known that for every rational discount factor 1 < lambda < 2, there is an
NDA with lambda (denoted lambda-NDA) that cannot be determinized. We provide positive
news, showing that every NDA with an integral factor is determinizable. We also
complete the picture by proving that the integers characterize exactly the discount
factors that guarantee determinizability: we show that for every non-integral
rational factor lambda, there is a nondeterminizable lambda-NDA. Finally, we prove
that the class of NDAs with integral discount factors enjoys closure under the
algebraic operations min, max, addition, and subtraction, which is not the case
for general NDAs nor for deterministic NDAs. This shows that for integral discount
factors, the class of NDAs forms an attractive specification formalism in quantitative
formal verification. All our results hold equally for automata over finite words
and for automata over infinite words. '

text: In this paper, we investigate the computational complexity of quantitative
information flow (QIF) problems. Information-theoretic quantitative relaxations
of noninterference (based on Shannon entropy)have been introduced to enable more
fine-grained reasoning about programs in situations where limited information
flow is acceptable. The QIF bounding problem asks whether the information flow
in a given program is bounded by a constant $d$. Our first result is that the
QIF bounding problem is PSPACE-complete. The QIF memoryless synthesis problem
asks whether it is possible to resolve nondeterministic choices in a given partial
program in such a way that in the resulting deterministic program, the quantitative
information flow is bounded by a given constant $d$. Our second result is that
the QIF memoryless synthesis problem is also EXPTIME-complete. The QIF memoryless
synthesis problem generalizes to QIF general synthesis problem which does not
impose the memoryless requirement (that is, by allowing the synthesized program
to have more variables then the original partial program). Our third result is
that the QIF general synthesis problem is EXPTIME-hard.

text: State-transition systems communicating by shared variables have been the underlying
model of choice for applications of model checking. Such formalisms, however,
have difficulty with modeling process creation or death and communication reconfigurability.
Here, we introduce “dynamic reactive modules” (DRM), a state-transition modeling
formalism that supports dynamic reconfiguration and creation/death of processes.
The resulting formalism supports two types of variables, data variables and reference
variables. Reference variables enable changing the connectivity between processes
and referring to instances of processes. We show how this new formalism supports
parallel composition and refinement through trace containment. DRM provide a natural
language for modeling (and ultimately reasoning about) biological systems and
multiple threads communicating through shared variables.

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 for probabilistic finite automata and present a complete characterization
of the decidability and undecidability frontier of the quantitative and qualitative
decision problems for probabilistic automata on infinite words.

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.

text: We present the tool Quasy, a quantitative synthesis tool. Quasy takes qualitative
and quantitative specifications and automatically constructs a system that satisfies
the qualitative specification and optimizes the quantitative specification, if
such a system exists. The user can choose between a system that satisfies and
optimizes the specifications (a) under all possible environment behaviors or (b)
under the most-likely environment behaviors given as a probability distribution
on the possible input sequences. Quasy solves these two quantitative synthesis
problems by reduction to instances of 2-player games and Markov Decision Processes
(MDPs) with quantitative winning objectives. Quasy can also be seen as a game
solver for quantitative games. Most notable, it can solve lexicographic mean-payoff
games with 2 players, MDPs with mean-payoff objectives, and ergodic MDPs with
mean-payoff parity objectives.

text: 'We present an algorithmic method for the quantitative, performance-aware
synthesis of concurrent programs. The input consists of a nondeterministic partial
program and of a parametric performance model. The nondeterminism allows the programmer
to omit which (if any) synchronization construct is used at a particular program
location. The performance model, specified as a weighted automaton, can capture
system architectures by assigning different costs to actions such as locking,
context switching, and memory and cache accesses. The quantitative synthesis problem
is to automatically resolve the nondeterminism of the partial program so that
both correctness is guaranteed and performance is optimal. As is standard for
shared memory concurrency, correctness is formalized "specification free",
in particular as race freedom or deadlock freedom. For worst-case (average-case)
performance, we show that the problem can be reduced to 2-player graph games (with
probabilistic transitions) with quantitative objectives. While we show, using
game-theoretic methods, that the synthesis problem is Nexp-complete, we present
an algorithmic method and an implementation that works efficiently for concurrent
programs and performance models of practical interest. We have implemented a prototype
tool and used it to synthesize finite-state concurrent programs that exhibit different
programming patterns, for several performance models representing different architectures. '

text: In this paper, we present the first output-sensitive algorithm to compute
the persistence diagram of a filtered simplicial complex. For any Γ>0, it returns
only those homology classes with persistence at least Γ. Instead of the classical
reduction via column operations, our algorithm performs rank computations on submatrices
of the boundary matrix. For an arbitrary constant δ ∈ (0,1), the running time
is O(C(1-δ)ΓR(n)log n), where C(1-δ)Γ is the number of homology classes with persistence
at least (1-δ)Γ, n is the total number of simplices, and R(n) is the complexity
of computing the rank of an n x n matrix with O(n) nonzero entries. Depending
on the choice of the rank algorithm, this yields a deterministic O(C(1-δ)Γn2.376)
algorithm, a O(C(1-δ)Γn2.28) Las-Vegas algorithm, or a O(C(1-δ)Γn2+ε) Monte-Carlo
algorithm for an arbitrary ε>0.

text: Rab3 interacting molecules (RIMs) are highly enriched in the active zones
of presynaptic terminals. It is generally thought that they operate as effectors
of the small G protein Rab3. Three recent papers, by Han et al. (this issue of
Neuron), Deng et al. (this issue of Neuron), and Kaeser et al. (a recent issue
of Cell), shed new light on the functional role of RIM in presynaptic terminals.
First, RIM tethers Ca2+ channels to active zones. Second, RIM contributes to priming
of synaptic vesicles by interacting with another presynaptic protein, Munc13.

text: Supertree methods are widely applied and give rise to new conclusions about
phylogenies (e.g., Bininda-Emonds et al. 2007). Although several desiderata for
supertree methods exist (Wilkinson, Thorley, et al. 2004), only few of them have
been studied in greater detail, examples include shape bias (Wilkinson et al.
2005) or pareto properties (Wilkinson et al. 2007). Here I look more closely at
two matrix representation methods, matrix representation with compatibility (MRC)
and matrix representation with parsimony (MRP). Different null models of random
data are studied and the resulting tree shapes are investigated. Thereby I consider
unrooted trees and a bias in tree shape is determined by a tree balance measure.
The measure for unrooted trees is a modification of a tree balance measure for
rooted trees. I observe that depending on the underlying null model of random
data, the methods may resolve conflict in favor of more balanced tree shapes.
The analyses refer only to trees with the same taxon set, also known as the consensus
setting (e.g., Wilkinson et al. 2007), but I will be able to draw conclusions
on how to deal with missing data.
