text: We consider Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with mean-payoff parity and energy
parity objectives. In system design, the parity objective is used to encode ω-regular
specifications, and the mean-payoff and energy objectives can be used to model
quantitative resource constraints. The energy condition re- quires that the resource
level never drops below 0, and the mean-payoff condi- tion requires that the limit-average
value of the resource consumption is within a threshold. While these two (energy
and mean-payoff) classical conditions are equivalent for two-player games, we
show that they differ for MDPs. We show that the problem of deciding whether a
state is almost-sure winning (i.e., winning with probability 1) in energy parity
MDPs is in NP ∩ coNP, while for mean- payoff parity MDPs, the problem is solvable
in polynomial time, improving a recent PSPACE bound.

text: We study Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple limit-average (or
mean-payoff) functions. We consider two different objectives, namely, expectation
and satisfaction objectives. Given an MDP with k reward functions, in the expectation
objective the goal is to maximize the expected limit-average value, and in the
satisfaction objective the goal is to maximize the probability of runs such that
the limit-average value stays above a given vector. We show that under the expectation
objective, in contrast to the single-objective case, both randomization and memory
are necessary for strategies, and that finite-memory randomized strategies are
sufficient. Under the satisfaction objective, in contrast to the single-objective
case, infinite memory is necessary for strategies, and that randomized memoryless
strategies are sufficient for epsilon-approximation, for all epsilon>;0. We
further prove that the decision problems for both expectation and satisfaction
objectives can be solved in polynomial time and the trade-off curve (Pareto curve)
can be epsilon-approximated in time polynomial in the size of the MDP and 1/epsilon,
and exponential in the number of reward functions, for all epsilon>;0. Our
results also reveal flaws in previous work for MDPs with multiple mean-payoff
functions under the expectation objective, correct the flaws and obtain improved
results.

text: 'The class of omega-regular languages provides a robust specification language
in verification. Every omega-regular condition can be decomposed into a safety
part and a liveness part. The liveness part ensures that something good happens
"eventually". Finitary liveness was proposed by Alur and Henzinger as
a stronger formulation of liveness. It requires that there exists an unknown,
fixed bound b such that something good happens within b transitions. In this work
we consider automata with finitary acceptance conditions defined by finitary Buchi,
parity and Streett languages. We study languages expressible by such automata:
we give their topological complexity and present a regular-expression characterization.
We compare the expressive power of finitary automata and give optimal algorithms
for classical decisions questions. We show that the finitary languages are Sigma
2-complete; we present a complete picture of the expressive power of various classes
of automata with finitary and infinitary acceptance conditions; we show that the
languages defined by finitary parity automata exactly characterize the star-free
fragment of omega B-regular languages; and we show that emptiness is NLOGSPACE-complete
and universality as well as language inclusion are PSPACE-complete for finitary
parity and Streett automata.'

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: 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: 'Compositional theories are crucial when designing large and complex systems
from smaller components. In this work we propose such a theory for synchronous
concurrent systems. Our approach follows so-called interface theories, which use
game-theoretic interpretations of composition and refinement. These are appropriate
for systems with distinct inputs and outputs, and explicit conditions on inputs
that must be enforced during composition. Our interfaces model systems that execute
in an infinite sequence of synchronous rounds. At each round, a contract must
be satisfied. The contract is simply a relation specifying the set of valid input/output
pairs. Interfaces can be composed by parallel, serial or feedback composition.
A refinement relation between interfaces is defined, and shown to have two main
properties: (1) it is preserved by composition, and (2) it is equivalent to substitutability,
namely, the ability to replace an interface by another one in any context. Shared
refinement and abstraction operators, corresponding to greatest lower and least
upper bounds with respect to refinement, are also defined. Input-complete interfaces,
that impose no restrictions on inputs, and deterministic interfaces, that produce
a unique output for any legal input, are discussed as special cases, and an interesting
duality between the two classes is exposed. A number of illustrative examples
are provided, as well as algorithms to compute compositions, check refinement,
and so on, for finite-state interfaces.'

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: There is recently a significant effort to add quantitative objectives to formal
verification and synthesis. We introduce and investigate the extension of temporal
logics with quantitative atomic assertions, aiming for a general and flexible
framework for quantitative-oriented specifications. In the heart of quantitative
objectives lies the accumulation of values along a computation. It is either the
accumulated summation, as with the energy objectives, or the accumulated average,
as with the 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 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 of time. We also allow the
path-accumulation assertions LimInfAvg(v) ≥ c and LimSupAvg(v) ≥ c, referring
to the average value along an entire computation. We study the border of decidability
for 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 by
prefix-accumulation assertions and extending LTL with path-accumulation assertions,
result in temporal logics whose model-checking problem is decidable. The extended
logics allow to significantly extend the currently known energy and mean-payoff
objectives. Moreover, the prefix-accumulation assertions may be refined 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 the fragment we point
to is, in a sense, the maximal logic whose extension with prefix-accumulation
assertions permits a decidable model-checking procedure. Extending a temporal
logic that has the EG or EU modalities, and in particular CTL and LTL, makes the
problem undecidable.

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: '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: 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: Tissue surface tension (TST) is an important mechanical property influencing
cell sorting and tissue envelopment. The study by Manning et al. (1) reported
on a mathematical model describing TST on the basis of the balance between adhesive
and tensile properties of the constituent cells. The model predicts that, in high-adhesion
cell aggregates, surface cells will be stretched to maintain the same area of
cell–cell contact as interior bulk cells, resulting in an elongated and flattened
cell shape. The authors (1) observed flat and elongated cells at the surface of
high-adhesion zebrafish germ-layer explants, which they argue are undifferentiated
stretched germ-layer progenitor cells, and they use this observation as a validation
of their model.

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.
