  text: Systems ought to behave reasonably even in circumstances that are not anticipated
    in their specifications. We propose a definition of robustness for liveness specifications
    which prescribes, for any number of environment assumptions that are violated,
    a minimal number of system guarantees that must still be fulfilled. This notion
    of robustness can be formulated and realized using a Generalized Reactivity formula.
    We present an algorithm for synthesizing robust systems from such formulas. For
    the important special case of Generalized Reactivity formulas of rank 1, our algorithm
    improves the complexity of [PPS06] for large specifications with a small number
    of assumptions and guarantees.

  text: Weighted automata are nondeterministic automata with numerical weights on
    transitions. They can define quantitative languages L that assign to each word
    w a real number L(w). In the case of infinite words, the value of a run is naturally
    computed as the maximum, limsup, liminf, limit-average, or discounted-sum of the
    transition weights. The value of a word w is the supremum of the values of the
    runs over w. We study expressiveness and closure questions about these quantitative
    languages. We first show that the set of words with value greater than a threshold
    can be omega-regular for deterministic limit-average and discounted-sum automata,
    while this set is always omega-regular when the threshold is isolated (i.e., some
    neighborhood around the threshold contains no word). In the latter case, we prove
    that the omega-regular language is robust against small perturbations of the transition
    weights. We next consider automata with transition weights 0 or 1 and show that
    they are as expressive as general weighted automata in the limit-average case,
    but not in the discounted-sum case. Third, for quantitative languages L-1 and
    L-2, we consider the operations max(L-1, L-2), min(L-1, L-2), and 1 - L-1, which
    generalize the boolean operations on languages, as well as the sum L-1 + L-2.
    We establish the closure properties of all classes of quantitative languages with
    respect to these four operations.

  text: Simulation and bisimulation metrics for stochastic systems provide a quantitative
    generalization of the classical simulation and bisimulation relations. These metrics
    capture the similarity of states with respect to quantitative specifications written
    in the quantitative mu-calculus and related probabilistic logics. We first show
    that the metrics provide a bound for the difference in long-run average and discounted
    average behavior across states, indicating that the metrics can be used both in
    system verification, and in performance evaluation. For turn-based games and MDPs,
    we provide a polynomial-time algorithm for the computation of the one-step metric
    distance between states. The algorithm is based on linear programming; it improves
    on the previous known exponential-time algorithm based on a reduction to the theory
    of reals. We then present PSPACE algorithms for both the decision problem and
    the problem of approximating the metric distance between two states, matching
    the best known algorithms for Markov chains. For the bisimulation kernel of the
    metric our algorithm works in time O(n(4)) for both turn-based games and MDPs;
    improving the previously best known O(n(9).log(n)) time algorithm for MDPs. For
    a concurrent game G, we show that computing the exact distance be tween states
    is at least as hard as computing the value of concurrent reachability games and
    the square-root-sum problem in computational geometry. We show that checking whether
    the metric distance is bounded by a rational r, can be done via a reduction to
    the theory of real closed fields, involving a formula with three quantifier alternations,
    yielding O(vertical bar G vertical bar(O(vertical bar G vertical bar 5))) time
    complexity, improving the previously known reduction, which yielded O(vertical
    bar G vertical bar(O(vertical bar G vertical bar 7))) time complexity. These algorithms
    can be iterated to approximate the metrics using binary search

    environment assumptions for synthesis of unrealizable specifications. Our tool
    provides the first and efficient implementations of several reduction-based techniques
    to solve turn-based probabilistic games, and uses the analysis of turn-based probabilistic
    games for synthesizing environment assumptions for unrealizable specifications.

  text: "Most specification languages express only qualitative constraints. However,
    among two implementations that satisfy a given specification, one may be preferred
    to another. For example, if a specification asks that every request is followed
    by a response, one may prefer an implementation that generates responses quickly
    but does not generate unnecessary responses. We use quantitative properties to
    measure the “goodness” of an implementation. Using games with corresponding quantitative
    objectives, we can synthesize “optimal” implementations, which are preferred among
    the set of possible implementations that satisfy a given specification.\r\nIn
    particular, we show how automata with lexicographic mean-payoff conditions can
    be used to express many interesting quantitative properties for reactive systems.
    In this framework, the synthesis of optimal implementations requires the solution
    of lexicographic mean-payoff games (for safety requirements), and the solution
    of games with both lexicographic mean-payoff and parity objectives (for liveness
    requirements). We present algorithms for solving both kinds of novel graph games."

    by safety, reachability, Büchi, coBüchi and limit-average conditions. We consider
    quantitative and qualitative decision problems. We present extensions and adaptations
    of proofs of [GO09] and present a precise characterization of the decidability

  text: Gist is a tool that (a) solves the qualitative analysis problem of turn-based
    probabilistic games with ω-regular objectives; and (b) synthesizes reasonable
    environment assumptions for synthesis of unrealizable specifications. Our tool
    provides efficient implementations of several reduction based techniques to solve
    turn-based probabilistic games, and uses the analysis of turn-based probabilistic
    games for synthesizing environment assumptions for unrealizable specifications.

  text: 'We study observation-based strategies for partially-observable Markov decision
    processes (POMDPs) with omega-regular objectives. An observation-based strategy
    relies on partial information about the history of a play, namely, on the past
    sequence of observa- tions. We consider the qualitative analysis problem: given
    a POMDP with an omega-regular objective, whether there is an observation-based
    strategy to achieve the objective with probability 1 (almost-sure winning), or
    with positive probability (positive winning). Our main results are twofold. First,
    we present a complete picture of the computational complexity of the qualitative
    analysis of POMDPs with parity objectives (a canonical form to express omega-regular
    objectives) and its subclasses. Our contribution consists in establishing several
    upper and lower bounds that were not known in literature. Second, we present optimal
    bounds (matching upper and lower bounds) on the memory required by pure and randomized
    observation-based strategies for the qualitative analysis of POMDPs with parity
    objectives and its subclasses.'

  text: Games on graphs with omega-regular objectives provide a model for the control
    and synthesis of reactive systems. Every omega-regular objective can be decomposed
    into a safety part and a liveness part. The liveness part ensures that something
    good happens “eventually.” Two main strengths of the classical, infinite-limit
    formulation of liveness are robustness (independence from the granularity of transitions)
    and simplicity (abstraction of complicated time bounds). However, the classical
    liveness formulation suffers from the drawback that the time until something good
    happens may be unbounded. A stronger formulation of liveness, so-called finitary
    liveness, overcomes this drawback, while still retaining robustness and simplicity.
    Finitary liveness requires that there exists an unknown, fixed bound b such that
    something good happens within b transitions. While for one-shot liveness (reachability)
    objectives, classical and finitary liveness coincide, for repeated liveness (Buchi)
    objectives, the finitary formulation is strictly stronger. In this work we study
    games with finitary parity and Streett objectives. We prove the determinacy of
    these games, present algorithms for solving these games, and characterize the
    memory requirements of winning strategies. We show that finitary parity games
    can be solved in polynomial time, which is not known for infinitary parity games.
    For finitary Streett games, we give an EXPTIME algorithm and show that the problem
    is NP-hard. Our algorithms can be used, for example, for synthesizing controllers
    that do not let the response time of a system increase without bound.

  text: 'Nondeterministic weighted automata are finite automata with numerical weights
    oil transitions. They define quantitative languages 1, that assign to each word
    v; a real number L(w). The value of ail infinite word w is computed as the maximal
    value of all runs over w, and the value of a run as the supremum, limsup liminf,
    limit average, or discounted sum of the transition weights. We introduce probabilistic
    weighted antomata, in which the transitions are chosen in a randomized (rather
    than nondeterministic) fashion. Under almost-sure semantics (resp. positive semantics),
    the value of a word v) is the largest real v such that the runs over w have value
    at least v with probability I (resp. positive probability). We study the classical
    questions of automata theory for probabilistic weighted automata: emptiness and
    universality, expressiveness, and closure under various operations oil languages.
    For quantitative languages, emptiness university axe defined as whether the value
    of some (resp. every) word exceeds a given threshold. We prove some, of these
    questions to he decidable, and others undecidable. Regarding expressive power,
    we show that probabilities allow its to define a wide variety of new classes of
    quantitative languages except for discounted-sum automata, where probabilistic
    choice is no more expressive than nondeterminism. Finally we live ail almost complete
    picture of the closure of various classes of probabilistic weighted automata for
    the following, provide, is operations oil quantitative languages: maximum, sum.
    and numerical complement.'

  text: "Weighted automata are finite automata with numerical weights on transitions.
    Nondeterministic weighted automata define quantitative languages L that assign
    to each word w a real number L(w) computed as the maximal value of all runs over
    w, and the value of a run r is a function of the sequence of weights that appear
    along r. There are several natural functions to consider such as Sup, LimSup,
    LimInf, limit average, and discounted sum of transition weights.\r\nWe introduce
    alternating weighted automata in which the transitions of the runs are chosen
    by two players in a turn-based fashion. Each word is assigned the maximal value
    of a run that the first player can enforce regardless of the choices made by the
    second player. We survey the results about closure properties, expressiveness,
    and decision problems for nondeterministic weighted automata, and we extend these
    results to alternating weighted automata.\r\nFor quantitative languages L 1 and
    L 2, we consider the pointwise operations max(L 1,L 2), min(L 1,L 2), 1 − L 1,
    and the sum L 1 + L 2. We establish the closure properties of all classes of alternating
    weighted automata with respect to these four operations.\r\nWe next compare the
    expressive power of the various classes of alternating and nondeterministic weighted
    automata over infinite words. In particular, for limit average and discounted
    sum, we show that alternation brings more expressive power than nondeterminism.\r\nFinally,
    we present decidability results and open questions for the quantitative extension
    of the classical decision problems in automata theory: emptiness, universality,
    language inclusion, and language equivalence."

  text: The synthesis of a reactive system with respect to all omega-regular specification
    requires the solution of a graph game. Such games have been extended in two natural
    ways. First, a game graph can be equipped with probabilistic choices between alternative
    transitions, thus allowing the, modeling of uncertain behaviour. These are called
    stochastic games. Second, a liveness specification can he strengthened to require
    satisfaction within all unknown but bounded amount of time. These are called finitary
    objectives. We study. for the first time, the, combination of Stochastic games
    and finitary objectives. We characterize the requirements on optimal strategies
    and provide algorithms for Computing the maximal achievable probability of winning
    stochastic games with finitary parity or Street, objectives. Most notably the
    set of state's from which a player can win with probability . for a finitary parity
    objective can he computed in polynomial time even though no polynomial-time algorithm
    is known in the nonfinitary case.

  text: 'A stochastic game is a two-player game played oil a graph, where in each
    state the successor is chosen either by One of the players, or according to a
    probability distribution. We Survey Stochastic games with limsup and liminf objectives.
    A real-valued re-ward is assigned to each state, and the value of all infinite
    path is the limsup (resp. liminf) of all rewards along the path. The value of
    a stochastic game is the maximal expected value of an infinite path that call
    he achieved by resolving the decisions of the first player. We present the complexity
    of computing values of Stochastic games and their subclasses, and the complexity,
    of optimal strategies in such games. '
