  text: The extent of heterogeneity among driver gene mutations present in naturally
    occurring metastases - that is, treatment-naive metastatic disease - is largely
    unknown. To address this issue, we carried out 60× whole-genome sequencing of
    26 metastases from four patients with pancreatic cancer. We found that identical
    mutations in known driver genes were present in every metastatic lesion for each
    patient studied. Passenger gene mutations, which do not have known or predicted
    functional consequences, accounted for all intratumoral heterogeneity. Even with
    respect to these passenger mutations, our analysis suggests that the genetic similarity
    among the founding cells of metastases was higher than that expected for any two
    cells randomly taken from a normal tissue. The uniformity of known driver gene
    mutations among metastases in the same patient has critical and encouraging implications
    for the success of future targeted therapies in advanced-stage disease.

  text: "Transforming deterministic ω\r\n-automata into deterministic parity automata
    is traditionally done using variants of appearance records. We present a more
    efficient variant of this approach, tailored to Rabin automata, and several optimizations
    applicable to all appearance records. We compare the methods experimentally and
    find out that our method produces smaller automata than previous approaches. Moreover,
    the experiments demonstrate the potential of our method for LTL synthesis, using
    LTL-to-Rabin translators. It leads to significantly smaller parity automata when
    compared to state-of-the-art approaches on complex formulae."

  text: We consider the problem of computing the set of initial states of a dynamical
    system such that there exists a control strategy to ensure that the trajectories
    satisfy a temporal logic specification with probability 1 (almost-surely). We
    focus on discrete-time, stochastic linear dynamics and specifications given as
    formulas of the Generalized Reactivity(1) fragment of Linear Temporal Logic over
    linear predicates in the states of the system. We propose a solution based on
    iterative abstraction-refinement, and turn-based 2-player probabilistic games.
    While the theoretical guarantee of our algorithm after any finite number of iterations
    is only a partial solution, we show that if our algorithm terminates, then the
    result is the set of all satisfying initial states. Moreover, for any (partial)
    solution our algorithm synthesizes witness control strategies to ensure almost-sure
    satisfaction of the temporal logic specification. While the proposed algorithm
    guarantees progress and soundness in every iteration, it is computationally demanding.
    We offer an alternative, more efficient solution for the reachability properties
    that decomposes the problem into a series of smaller problems of the same type.
    All algorithms are demonstrated on an illustrative case study.

  text: The notion of treewidth of graphs has been exploited for faster algorithms
    for several problems arising in verification and program analysis. Moreover, various
    notions of balanced tree decompositions have been used for improved algorithms
    supporting dynamic updates and analysis of concurrent programs. In this work,
    we present a tool for constructing tree-decompositions of CFGs obtained from Java
    methods, which is implemented as an extension to the widely used Soot framework.
    The experimental results show that our implementation on real-world Java benchmarks
    is very efficient. Our tool also provides the first implementation for balancing
    tree-decompositions. In summary, we present the first tool support for exploiting
    treewidth in the static analysis problems on Java programs.

  text: "Two-player games on graphs are widely studied in formal methods as they model
    the interaction between a system and its environment. The game is played by moving
    a token throughout a graph to produce an infinite path. There are several common
    modes to determine how the players move the token through the graph; e.g., in
    turn-based games the players alternate turns in moving the token. We study the
    bidding mode of moving the token, which, to the best of our knowledge, has never
    been studied in infinite-duration games. Both players have separate budgets, which
    sum up to $1$. In each turn, a bidding takes place. Both players submit bids simultaneously,
    and a bid is legal if it does not exceed the available budget. The winner of the
    bidding pays his bid to the other player and moves the token. For reachability
    objectives, repeated bidding games have been studied and are called Richman games.
    There, a central question is the existence and computation of threshold budgets;
    namely, a value t\\in [0,1] such that if\\PO's budget exceeds $t$, he can win
    the game, and if\\PT's budget exceeds 1-t, he can win the game. We focus on parity
    games and mean-payoff games. We show the existence of threshold budgets in these
    games, and reduce the problem of finding them to Richman games. We also determine
    the strategy-complexity of an optimal strategy. Our most interesting result shows
    that memoryless strategies suffice for mean-payoff bidding games. \r\n"

  text: A standard objective in partially-observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs)
    is to find a policy that maximizes the expected discounted-sum payoff. However,
    such policies may still permit unlikely but highly undesirable outcomes, which
    is problematic especially in safety-critical applications. Recently, there has
    been a surge of interest in POMDPs where the goal is to maximize the probability
    to ensure that the payoff is at least a given threshold, but these approaches
    do not consider any optimization beyond satisfying this threshold constraint.
    In this work we go beyond both the “expectation” and “threshold” approaches and
    consider a “guaranteed payoff optimization (GPO)” problem for POMDPs, where we
    are given a threshold t and the objective is to find a policy σ such that a) each
    possible outcome of σ yields a discounted-sum payoff of at least t, and b) the
    expected discounted-sum payoff of σ is optimal (or near-optimal) among all policies
    satisfying a). We present a practical approach to tackle the GPO problem and evaluate
    it on standard POMDP benchmarks.

  text: Pushdown systems (PDSs) and recursive state machines (RSMs), which are linearly
    equivalent, are standard models for interprocedural analysis. Yet RSMs are more
    convenient as they (a) explicitly model function calls and returns, and (b) specify
    many natural parameters for algorithmic analysis, e.g., the number of entries
    and exits. We consider a general framework where RSM transitions are labeled from
    a semiring and path properties are algebraic with semiring operations, which can
    model, e.g., interprocedural reachability and dataflow analysis problems. Our
    main contributions are new algorithms for several fundamental problems. As compared
    to a direct translation of RSMs to PDSs and the best-known existing bounds of
    PDSs, our analysis algorithm improves the complexity for finite-height semirings
    (that subsumes reachability and standard dataflow properties). We further consider
    the problem of extracting distance values from the representation structures computed
    by our algorithm, and give efficient algorithms that distinguish the complexity
    of a one-time preprocessing from the complexity of each individual query. Another
    advantage of our algorithm is that our improvements carry over to the concurrent
    setting, where we improve the bestknown complexity for the context-bounded analysis
    of concurrent RSMs. Finally, we provide a prototype implementation that gives
    a significant speed-up on several benchmarks from the SLAM/SDV project.

  text: 'A fundamental algorithmic problem at the heart of static analysis is Dyck
    reachability. The input is a graph where the edges are labeled with different
    types of opening and closing parentheses, and the reachability information is
    computed via paths whose parentheses are properly matched. We present new results
    for Dyck reachability problems with applications to alias analysis and data-dependence
    analysis. Our main contributions, that include improved upper bounds as well as
    lower bounds that establish optimality guarantees, are as follows: First, we consider
    Dyck reachability on bidirected graphs, which is the standard way of performing
    field-sensitive points-to analysis. Given a bidirected graph with n nodes and
    m edges, we present: (i) an algorithm with worst-case running time O(m + n · α(n)),
    where α(n) is the inverse Ackermann function, improving the previously known O(n2)
    time bound; (ii) a matching lower bound that shows that our algorithm is optimal
    wrt to worst-case complexity; and (iii) an optimal average-case upper bound of
    O(m) time, improving the previously known O(m · logn) bound. Second, we consider
    the problem of context-sensitive data-dependence analysis, where the task is to
    obtain analysis summaries of library code in the presence of callbacks. Our algorithm
    preprocesses libraries in almost linear time, after which the contribution of
    the library in the complexity of the client analysis is only linear, and only
    wrt the number of call sites. Third, we prove that combinatorial algorithms for
    Dyck reachability on general graphs with truly sub-cubic bounds cannot be obtained
    without obtaining sub-cubic combinatorial algorithms for Boolean Matrix Multiplication,
    which is a long-standing open problem. Thus we establish that the existing combinatorial
    algorithms for Dyck reachability are (conditionally) optimal for general graphs.
    We also show that the same hardness holds for graphs of constant treewidth. Finally,
    we provide a prototype implementation of our algorithms for both alias analysis
    and data-dependence analysis. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that the
    new algorithms significantly outperform all existing methods on the two problems,
    over real-world benchmarks.'

  text: "We present a new dynamic partial-order reduction method for stateless model
    checking of concurrent programs. A common approach for exploring program behaviors
    relies on enumerating the traces of the program, without storing the visited states
    (aka stateless exploration). As the number of distinct traces grows exponentially,
    dynamic partial-order reduction (DPOR) techniques have been successfully used
    to partition the space of traces into equivalence classes (Mazurkiewicz partitioning),
    with the goal of exploring only few representative traces from each class.\r\n\r\nWe
    introduce a new equivalence on traces under sequential consistency semantics,
    which we call the observation equivalence. Two traces are observationally equivalent
    if every read event observes the same write event in both traces. While the traditional
    Mazurkiewicz equivalence is control-centric, our new definition is data-centric.
    We show that our observation equivalence is coarser than the Mazurkiewicz equivalence,
    and in many cases even exponentially coarser. We devise a DPOR exploration of
    the trace space, called data-centric DPOR, based on the observation equivalence."

  text: We present a new proof rule for proving almost-sure termination of probabilistic
    programs, including those that contain demonic non-determinism. An important question
    for a probabilistic program is whether the probability mass of all its diverging
    runs is zero, that is that it terminates "almost surely". Proving that can be
    hard, and this paper presents a new method for doing so. It applies directly to
    the program's source code, even if the program contains demonic choice. Like others,
    we use variant functions (a.k.a. "super-martingales") that are real-valued and
    decrease randomly on each loop iteration; but our key innovation is that the amount
    as well as the probability of the decrease are parametric. We prove the soundness
    of the new rule, indicate where its applicability goes beyond existing rules,
    and explain its connection to classical results on denumerable (non-demonic) Markov
    chains.

  text: 'Termination is one of the basic liveness properties, and we study the termination
    problem for probabilistic programs with real-valued variables. Previous works
    focused on the qualitative problem that asks whether an input program terminates
    with probability~1 (almost-sure termination). A powerful approach for this qualitative
    problem is the notion of ranking supermartingales with respect to a given set
    of invariants. The quantitative problem (probabilistic termination) asks for bounds
    on the termination probability. A fundamental and conceptual drawback of the existing
    approaches to address probabilistic termination is that even though the supermartingales
    consider the probabilistic behavior of the programs, the invariants are obtained
    completely ignoring the probabilistic aspect. In this work we address the probabilistic
    termination problem for linear-arithmetic probabilistic programs with nondeterminism.
    We define the notion of {\em stochastic invariants}, which are constraints along
    with a probability bound that the constraints hold. We introduce a concept of
    {\em repulsing supermartingales}. First, we show that repulsing supermartingales
    can be used to obtain bounds on the probability of the stochastic invariants.
    Second, we show the effectiveness of repulsing supermartingales in the following
    three ways: (1)~With a combination of ranking and repulsing supermartingales we
    can compute lower bounds on the probability of termination; (2)~repulsing supermartingales
    provide witnesses for refutation of almost-sure termination; and (3)~with a combination
    of ranking and repulsing supermartingales we can establish persistence properties
    of probabilistic programs. We also present results on related computational problems
    and an experimental evaluation of our approach on academic examples. '

  text: We study controller synthesis problems for finite-state Markov decision processes,
    where the objective is to optimize the expected mean-payoff performance and stability
    (also known as variability in the literature). We argue that the basic notion
    of expressing the stability using the statistical variance of the mean payoff
    is sometimes insufficient, and propose an alternative definition. We show that
    a strategy ensuring both the expected mean payoff and the variance below given
    bounds requires randomization and memory, under both the above definitions. We
    then show that the problem of finding such a strategy can be expressed as a set
    of constraints.

  text: 'Games on graphs provide the appropriate framework to study several central
    problems in computer science, such as verification and synthesis of reactive systems.
    One of the most basic objectives for games on graphs is the liveness (or Büchi)
    objective that given a target set of vertices requires that some vertex in the
    target set is visited infinitely often. We study generalized Büchi objectives
    (i.e., conjunction of liveness objectives), and implications between two generalized
    Büchi objectives (known as GR(1) objectives), that arise in numerous applications
    in computer-aided verification. We present improved algorithms and conditional
    super-linear lower bounds based on widely believed assumptions about the complexity
    of (A1) combinatorial Boolean matrix multiplication and (A2) CNF-SAT. We consider
    graph games with n vertices, m edges, and generalized Büchi objectives with k
    conjunctions. First, we present an algorithm with running time O(k*n^2), improving
    the previously known O(k*n*m) and O(k^2*n^2) worst-case bounds. Our algorithm
    is optimal for dense graphs under (A1). Second, we show that the basic algorithm
    for the problem is optimal for sparse graphs when the target sets have constant
    size under (A2). Finally, we consider GR(1) objectives, with k_1 conjunctions
    in the antecedent and k_2 conjunctions in the consequent, and present an O(k_1
    k_2 n^{2.5})-time algorithm, improving the previously known O(k_1*k_2*n*m)-time
    algorithm for m &gt; n^{1.5}. '

  text: "The Continuous Skolem Problem asks whether a real-valued function satisfying
    a linear differen-\r\ntial equation has a zero in a given interval of real numbers.
    This is a fundamental reachability\r\nproblem for continuous linear dynamical
    systems, such as linear hybrid automata and continuous-\r\ntime Markov chains.
    Decidability of the problem is currently open – indeed decidability is open\r\neven
    for the sub-problem in which a zero is sought in a bounded interval. In this paper
    we show\r\ndecidability of the bounded problem subject to Schanuel’s Conjecture,
    a unifying conjecture in\r\ntranscendental number theory. We furthermore analyse
    the unbounded problem in terms of the\r\nfrequencies of the differential equation,
    that is, the imaginary parts of the characteristic roots.\r\nWe show that the
    unbounded problem can be reduced to the bounded problem if there is at most\r\none
    rationally linearly independent frequency, or if there are two rationally linearly
    independent\r\nfrequencies and all characteristic roots are simple. We complete
    the picture by showing that de-\r\ncidability of the unbounded problem in the
    case of two (or more) rationally linearly independent\r\nfrequencies would entail
    a major new effectiveness result in Diophantine approximation, namely\r\ncomputability
    of the Diophantine-approximation types of all real algebraic numbers."

  text: 'We present a logic that extends CTL (Computation Tree Logic) with operators
    that express synchronization properties. A property is synchronized in a system
    if it holds in all paths of a certain length. The new logic is obtained by using
    the same path quantifiers and temporal operators as in CTL, but allowing a different
    order of the quantifiers. This small syntactic variation induces a logic that
    can express non-regular properties for which known extensions of MSO with equality
    of path length are undecidable. We show that our variant of CTL is decidable and
    that the model-checking problem is in Delta_3^P = P^{NP^NP}, and is DP-hard. We
    analogously consider quantifier exchange in extensions of CTL, and we present
    operators defined using basic operators of CTL* that express the occurrence of
    infinitely many synchronization points. We show that the model-checking problem
    remains in Delta_3^P. The distinguishing power of CTL and of our new logic coincide
    if the Next operator is allowed in the logics, thus the classical bisimulation
    quotient can be used for state-space reduction before model checking. '

  text: 'We consider data-structures for answering reachability and distance queries
    on constant-treewidth graphs with n nodes, on the standard RAM computational model
    with wordsize W=Theta(log n). Our first contribution is a data-structure that
    after O(n) preprocessing time, allows (1) pair reachability queries in O(1) time;
    and (2) single-source reachability queries in O(n/log n) time. This is (asymptotically)
    optimal and is faster than DFS/BFS when answering more than a constant number
    of single-source queries. The data-structure uses at all times O(n) space. Our
    second contribution is a space-time tradeoff data-structure for distance queries.
    For any epsilon in [1/2,1], we provide a data-structure with polynomial preprocessing
    time that allows pair queries in O(n^{1-\epsilon} alpha(n)) time, where alpha
    is the inverse of the Ackermann function, and at all times uses O(n^epsilon) space.
    The input graph G is not considered in the space complexity. '

  text: ' While weighted automata provide a natural framework to express quantitative
    properties, many basic properties like average response time cannot be expressed
    with weighted automata. Nested weighted automata extend weighted automata and
    consist of a master automaton and a set of slave automata that are invoked by
    the master automaton. Nested weighted automata are strictly more expressive than
    weighted automata (e.g., average response time can be expressed with nested weighted
    automata), but the basic decision questions have higher complexity (e.g., for
    deterministic automata, the emptiness question for nested weighted automata is
    PSPACE-hard, whereas the corresponding complexity for weighted automata is PTIME).
    We consider a natural subclass of nested weighted automata where at any point
    at most a bounded number k of slave automata can be active. We focus on automata
    whose master value function is the limit average. We show that these nested weighted
    automata with bounded width are strictly more expressive than weighted automata
    (e.g., average response time with no overlapping requests can be expressed with
    bound k=1, but not with non-nested weighted automata). We show that the complexity
    of the basic decision problems (i.e., emptiness and universality) for the subclass
    with k constant matches the complexity for weighted automata. Moreover, when k
    is part of the input given in unary we establish PSPACE-completeness.'

  text: 'We introduce a general class of distances (metrics) between Markov chains,
    which are based on linear behaviour. This class encompasses distances given topologically
    (such as the total variation distance or trace distance) as well as by temporal
    logics or automata. We investigate which of the distances can be approximated
    by observing the systems, i.e. by black-box testing or simulation, and we provide
    both negative and positive results. '

  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. © 2016 ACM.
