text: Pseudo-code descriptions of STMs assume sequentially consistent program execution
and atomicity of high-level STM operations like read, write, and commit. These
assumptions are often violated in realistic settings, as STM implementations run
on relaxed memory models, with the atomicity of operations as provided by the
hardware. This paper presents the first approach to verify STMs under relaxed
memory models with atomicity of 32 bit loads and stores, and read-modify-write
operations. We present RML, a new high-level language for expressing concurrent
algorithms with a hardware-level atomicity of instructions, and whose semantics
is parametrized by various relaxed memory models. We then present our tool, FOIL,
which takes as input the RML description of an STM algorithm and the description
of a memory model, and automatically determines the locations of fences, which
if inserted, ensure the correctness of the STM algorithm under the given memory
model. We use FOIL to verify DSTM, TL2, and McRT STM under the memory models of
sequential consistency, total store order, partial store order, and relaxed memory
order.

text: For programs whose data variables range over boolean or finite domains, program
verification is decidable, and this forms the basis of recent tools for software
model checking. In this paper, we consider algorithmic verification of programs
that use boolean variables, and in addition, access a single read-only array whose
length is potentially unbounded, and whose elements range over a potentially unbounded
data domain. We show that the reachability problem, while undecidable in general,
is (1) Pspace-complete for programs in which the array-accessing for-loops are
not nested, (2) decidable for a restricted class of programs with doubly-nested
loops. The second result establishes connections to automata and logics defining
languages over data words.

text: We present an on-the-fly abstraction technique for infinite-state continuous
-time Markov chains. We consider Markov chains that are specified by a finite
set of transition classes. Such models naturally represent biochemical reactions
and therefore play an important role in the stochastic modeling of biological
systems. We approximate the transient probability distributions at various time
instances by solving a sequence of dynamically constructed abstract models, each
depending on the previous one. Each abstract model is a finite Markov chain that
represents the behavior of the original, infinite chain during a specific time
interval. Our approach provides complete information about probability distributions,
not just about individual parameters like the mean. The error of each abstraction
can be computed, and the precision of the abstraction refined when desired. We
implemented the algorithm and demonstrate its usefulness and efficiency on several
case studies from systems biology.

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: 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. 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 non-w-regular for deterministic limit-average and discounted-sum
automata, while this set is always w-regular when the threshold is isolated (i.e.,
some neighborhood around the threshold contains no word). In the latter case,
we prove that the w-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: "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: We consider concurrent games played on graphs. At every round of a game, each
player simultaneously and independently selects a move; the moves jointly determine
the transition to a successor state. Two basic objectives are the safety objective
to stay forever in a given set of states, and its dual, the reachability objective
to reach a given set of states. We present in this paper a strategy improvement
algorithm for computing the value of a concurrent safety game, that is, the maximal
probability with which player 1 can enforce the safety objective. The algorithm
yields a sequence of player-1 strategies which ensure probabilities of winning
that converge monotonically to the value of the safety game. Our result is significant
because the strategy improvement algorithm provides, for the first time, a way
to approximate the value of a concurrent safety game from below. Since a value
iteration algorithm, or a strategy improvement algorithm for reachability games,
can be used to approximate the same value from above, the combination of both
algorithms yields a method for computing a converging sequence of upper and lower
bounds for the values of concurrent reachability and safety games. Previous methods
could approximate the values of these games only from one direction, and as no
rates of convergence are known, they did not provide a practical way to solve
these games.
