text: 'The target discounted-sum problem is the following: Given a rational discount
factor 0 < λ < 1 and three rational values a, b, and t, does there exist a finite
or an infinite sequence w ε(a, b)∗ or w ε(a, b)w, such that Σ|w| i=0 w(i)λi equals
t? The problem turns out to relate to many fields of mathematics and computer
science, and its decidability question is surprisingly hard to solve. We solve
the finite version of the problem, and show the hardness of the infinite version,
linking it to various areas and open problems in mathematics and computer science:
β-expansions, discounted-sum automata, piecewise affine maps, and generalizations
of the Cantor set. We provide some partial results to the infinite version, among
which are solutions to its restriction to eventually-periodic sequences and to
the cases that λ λ 1/2 or λ = 1/n, for every n ε N. We use our results for solving
some open problems on discounted-sum automata, among which are the exact-value
problem for nondeterministic automata over finite words and the universality and
inclusion problems for functional automata. '

text: We present a computer-aided programming approach to concurrency. The approach
allows programmers to program assuming a friendly, non-preemptive scheduler, and
our synthesis procedure inserts synchronization to ensure that the final program
works even with a preemptive scheduler. The correctness specification is implicit,
inferred from the non-preemptive behavior. Let us consider sequences of calls
that the program makes to an external interface. The specification requires that
any such sequence produced under a preemptive scheduler should be included in
the set of such sequences produced under a non-preemptive scheduler. The solution
is based on a finitary abstraction, an algorithm for bounded language inclusion
modulo an independence relation, and rules for inserting synchronization. We apply
the approach to device-driver programming, where the driver threads call the software
interface of the device and the API provided by the operating system. Our experiments
demonstrate that our synthesis method is precise and efficient, and, since it
does not require explicit specifications, is more practical than the conventional
approach based on user-provided assertions.

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: '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: 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: Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms play an important role in ensuring the
reliability of many software applications. In this paper we consider distributed
algorithms whose computations are organized in rounds. To verify the correctness
of such algorithms, we reason about (i) properties (such as invariants) of the
state, (ii) the transitions controlled by the algorithm, and (iii) the communication
graph. We introduce a logic that addresses these points, and contains set comprehensions
with cardinality constraints, function symbols to describe the local states of
each process, and a limited form of quantifier alternation to express the verification
conditions. We show its use in automating the verification of consensus algorithms.
In particular, we give a semi-decision procedure for the unsatisfiability problem
of the logic and identify a decidable fragment. We successfully applied our framework
to verify the correctness of a variety of consensus algorithms tolerant to both
benign faults (message loss, process crashes) and value faults (message corruption).

text: 'Probabilistic programs are usual functional or imperative programs with two
added constructs: (1) the ability to draw values at random from distributions,
and (2) the ability to condition values of variables in a program via observations.
Models from diverse application areas such as computer vision, coding theory,
cryptographic protocols, biology and reliability analysis can be written as probabilistic
programs. Probabilistic inference is the problem of computing an explicit representation
of the probability distribution implicitly specified by a probabilistic program.
Depending on the application, the desired output from inference may vary-we may
want to estimate the expected value of some function f with respect to the distribution,
or the mode of the distribution, or simply a set of samples drawn from the distribution.
In this paper, we describe connections this research area called \Probabilistic
Programming" has with programming languages and software engineering, and
this includes language design, and the static and dynamic analysis of programs.
We survey current state of the art and speculate on promising directions for future
research.'

text: Boolean controllers for systems with complex datapaths are often very difficult
to implement correctly, in particular when concurrency is involved. Yet, in many
instances it is easy to formally specify correctness. For example, the specification
for the controller of a pipelined processor only has to state that the pipelined
processor gives the same results as a non-pipelined reference design. This makes
such controllers a good target for automated synthesis. However, an efficient
abstraction for the complex datapath elements is needed, as a bit-precise description
is often infeasible. We present Suraq, the first controller synthesis tool which
uses uninterpreted functions for the abstraction. Quantified firstorder formulas
(with specific quantifier structure) serve as the specification language from
which Suraq synthesizes Boolean controllers. Suraq transforms the specification
into an unsatisfiable SMT formula, and uses Craig interpolation to compute its
results. Using Suraq, we were able to synthesize a controller (consisting of two
Boolean signals) for a five-stage pipelined DLX processor in roughly one hour
and 15 minutes.

text: We investigate the problem of checking if a finite-state transducer is robust
to uncertainty in its input. Our notion of robustness is based on the analytic
notion of Lipschitz continuity - a transducer is K-(Lipschitz) robust if the perturbation
in its output is at most K times the perturbation in its input. We quantify input
and output perturbation using similarity functions. We show that K-robustness
is undecidable even for deterministic transducers. We identify a class of functional
transducers, which admits a polynomial time automata-theoretic decision procedure
for K-robustness. This class includes Mealy machines and functional letter-to-letter
transducers. We also study K-robustness of nondeterministic transducers. Since
a nondeterministic transducer generates a set of output words for each input word,
we quantify output perturbation using setsimilarity functions. We show that K-robustness
of nondeterministic transducers is undecidable, even for letter-to-letter transducers.
We identify a class of set-similarity functions which admit decidable K-robustness
of letter-to-letter transducers.

text: Extensionality axioms are common when reasoning about data collections, such
as arrays and functions in program analysis, or sets in mathematics. An extensionality
axiom asserts that two collections are equal if they consist of the same elements
at the same indices. Using extensionality is often required to show that two collections
are equal. A typical example is the set theory theorem (∀x)(∀y)x∪y = y ∪x. Interestingly,
while humans have no problem with proving such set identities using extensionality,
they are very hard for superposition theorem provers because of the calculi they
use. In this paper we show how addition of a new inference rule, called extensionality
resolution, allows first-order theorem provers to easily solve problems no modern
first-order theorem prover can solve. We illustrate this by running the VAMPIRE
theorem prover with extensionality resolution on a number of set theory and array
problems. Extensionality resolution helps VAMPIRE to solve problems from the TPTP
library of first-order problems that were never solved before by any prover.

text: 'We present a tool for translating LTL formulae into deterministic ω-automata.
It is the first tool that covers the whole LTL that does not use Safra’s determinization
or any of its variants. This leads to smaller automata. There are several outputs
of the tool: firstly, deterministic Rabin automata, which are the standard input
for probabilistic model checking, e.g. for the probabilistic model-checker PRISM;
secondly, deterministic generalized Rabin automata, which can also be used for
probabilistic model checking and are sometimes by orders of magnitude smaller.
We also link our tool to PRISM and show that this leads to a significant speed-up
of probabilistic LTL model checking, especially with the generalized Rabin automata.'

text: We present a general framework for applying machine-learning algorithms to
the verification of Markov decision processes (MDPs). The primary goal of these
techniques is to improve performance by avoiding an exhaustive exploration of
the state space. Our framework focuses on probabilistic reachability, which is
a core property for verification, and is illustrated through two distinct instantiations.
The first assumes that full knowledge of the MDP is available, and performs a
heuristic-driven partial exploration of the model, yielding precise lower and
upper bounds on the required probability. The second tackles the case where we
may only sample the MDP, and yields probabilistic guarantees, again in terms of
both the lower and upper bounds, which provides efficient stopping criteria for
the approximation. The latter is the first extension of statistical model checking
for unbounded properties inMDPs. In contrast with other related techniques, our
approach is not restricted to time-bounded (finite-horizon) or discounted properties,
nor does it assume any particular properties of the MDP. We also show how our
methods extend to LTL objectives. We present experimental results showing the
performance of our framework on several examples.

text: Recently, there has been an effort to add quantitative objectives to formal
verification and synthesis. We introduce and investigate the extension of temporal
logics with quantitative atomic assertions. At the heart of quantitative objectives
lies the accumulation of values along a computation. It is often the accumulated
sum, as with energy objectives, or the accumulated average, as with mean-payoff
objectives. We investigate the extension of temporal logics with the prefix-accumulation
assertions Sum(v) ≥ c and Avg(v) ≥ c, where v is a numeric (or Boolean) variable
of the system, c is a constant rational number, and Sum(v) and Avg(v) denote the
accumulated sum and average of the values of v from the beginning of the computation
up to the current point in time. We also allow the path-accumulation assertions
LimInfAvg(v) ≥ c and LimSupAvg(v) ≥ c, referring to the average value along an
entire infinite computation. We study the border of decidability for such quantitative
extensions of various temporal logics. In particular, we show that extending the
fragment of CTL that has only the EX, EF, AX, and AG temporal modalities with
both prefix-accumulation assertions, or extending LTL with both path-accumulation
assertions, results in temporal logics whose model-checking problem is decidable.
Moreover, the prefix-accumulation assertions may be generalized with "controlled
accumulation," allowing, for example, to specify constraints on the average
waiting time between a request and a grant. On the negative side, we show that
this branching-time logic is, in a sense, the maximal logic with one or both of
the prefix-accumulation assertions that permits a decidable model-checking procedure.
Extending a temporal logic that has the EG or EU modalities, such as CTL or LTL,
makes the problem undecidable.

text: In contrast to the usual understanding of probabilistic systems as stochastic
processes, recently these systems have also been regarded as transformers of probabilities.
In this paper, we give a natural definition of strong bisimulation for probabilistic
systems corresponding to this view that treats probability distributions as first-class
citizens. Our definition applies in the same way to discrete systems as well as
to systems with uncountable state and action spaces. Several examples demonstrate
that our definition refines the understanding of behavioural equivalences of probabilistic
systems. In particular, it solves a longstanding open problem concerning the representation
of memoryless continuous time by memoryfull continuous time. Finally, we give
algorithms for computing this bisimulation not only for finite but also for classes
of uncountably infinite systems.

text: 'We consider a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) whose state space is partitioned
into aggregates, and each aggregate is assigned a probability measure. A sufficient
condition for defining a CTMC over the aggregates is presented as a variant of
weak lumpability, which also characterizes that the measure over the original
process can be recovered from that of the aggregated one. We show how the applicability
of de-aggregation depends on the initial distribution. The application section
is devoted to illustrate how the developed theory aids in reducing CTMC models
of biochemical systems particularly in connection to protein-protein interactions.
We assume that the model is written by a biologist in form of site-graph-rewrite
rules. Site-graph-rewrite rules compactly express that, often, only a local context
of a protein (instead of a full molecular species) needs to be in a certain configuration
in order to trigger a reaction event. This observation leads to suitable aggregate
Markov chains with smaller state spaces, thereby providing sufficient reduction
in computational complexity. This is further exemplified in two case studies:
simple unbounded polymerization and early EGFR/insulin crosstalk.'

text: We present a formal framework for repairing infinite-state, imperative, sequential
programs, with (possibly recursive) procedures and multiple assertions; the framework
can generate repaired programs by modifying the original erroneous program in
multiple program locations, and can ensure the readability of the repaired program
using user-defined expression templates; the framework also generates a set of
inductive assertions that serve as a proof of correctness of the repaired program.
As a step toward integrating programmer intent and intuition in automated program
repair, we present a cost-aware formulation - given a cost function associated
with permissible statement modifications, the goal is to ensure that the total
program modification cost does not exceed a given repair budget. As part of our
predicate abstractionbased solution framework, we present a sound and complete
algorithm for repair of Boolean programs. We have developed a prototype tool based
on SMT solving and used it successfully to repair diverse errors in benchmark
C programs.

text: 'Systems should not only be correct but also robust in the sense that they
behave reasonably in unexpected situations. This article addresses synthesis of
robust reactive systems from temporal specifications. Existing methods allow arbitrary
behavior if assumptions in the specification are violated. To overcome this, we
define two robustness notions, combine them, and show how to enforce them in synthesis.
The first notion applies to safety properties: If safety assumptions are violated
temporarily, we require that the system recovers to normal operation with as few
errors as possible. The second notion requires that, if liveness assumptions are
violated, as many guarantees as possible should be fulfilled nevertheless. We
present a synthesis procedure achieving this for the important class of GR(1)
specifications, and establish complexity bounds. We also present an implementation
of a special case of robustness, and show experimental results.'

text: We present a new algorithm to construct a (generalized) deterministic Rabin
automaton for an LTL formula φ. The automaton is the product of a master automaton
and an array of slave automata, one for each G-subformula of φ. The slave automaton
for G ψ is in charge of recognizing whether FG ψ holds. As opposed to standard
determinization procedures, the states of all our automata have a clear logical
structure, which allows for various optimizations. Our construction subsumes former
algorithms for fragments of LTL. Experimental results show improvement in the
sizes of the resulting automata compared to existing methods.

text: "As hybrid systems involve continuous behaviors, they should be evaluated
by quantitative methods, rather than qualitative methods. In this paper we adapt
a quantitative framework, called model measuring, to the hybrid systems domain.
The model-measuring problem asks, given a model M and a specification, what is
the maximal distance such that all models within that distance from M satisfy
(or violate) the specification. A distance function on models is given as part
of the input of the problem. Distances, especially related to continuous behaviors
are more natural in the hybrid case than the discrete case. We are interested
in distances represented by monotonic hybrid automata, a hybrid counterpart of
(discrete) weighted automata, whose recognized timed languages are monotone (w.r.t.
inclusion) in the values of parameters.\r\n\r\nThe contributions of this paper
are twofold. First, we give sufficient conditions under which the model-measuring
problem can be solved. Second, we discuss the modeling of distances and applications
of the model-measuring problem."
