text: 'We consider two-player zero-sum stochastic games on graphs with ω-regular
winning conditions specified as parity objectives. These games have applications
in the design and control of reactive systems. We survey the complexity results
for the problem of deciding the winner in such games, and in classes of interest
obtained as special cases, based on the information and the power of randomization
available to the players, on the class of objectives and on the winning mode.
On the basis of information, these games can be classified as follows: (a) partial-observation
(both players have partial view of the game); (b) one-sided partial-observation
(one player has partial-observation and the other player has complete-observation);
and (c) complete-observation (both players have complete view of the game). The
one-sided partial-observation games have two important subclasses: the one-player
games, known as partial-observation Markov decision processes (POMDPs), and the
blind one-player games, known as probabilistic automata. On the basis of randomization,
(a) the players may not be allowed to use randomization (pure strategies), or
(b) they may choose a probability distribution over actions but the actual random
choice is external and not visible to the player (actions invisible), or (c) they
may use full randomization. Finally, various classes of games are obtained by
restricting the parity objective to a reachability, safety, Büchi, or coBüchi
condition. We also consider several winning modes, such as sure-winning (i.e.,
all outcomes of a strategy have to satisfy the winning condition), almost-sure
winning (i.e., winning with probability 1), limit-sure winning (i.e., winning
with probability arbitrarily close to 1), and value-threshold winning (i.e., winning
with probability at least ν, where ν is a given rational). '

text: 'Continuous-time Markov chains (CTMC) with their rich theory and efficient
simulation algorithms have been successfully used in modeling stochastic processes
in diverse areas such as computer science, physics, and biology. However, systems
that comprise non-instantaneous events cannot be accurately and efficiently modeled
with CTMCs. In this paper we define delayed CTMCs, an extension of CTMCs that
allows for the specification of a lower bound on the time interval between an
event''s initiation and its completion, and we propose an algorithm for the computation
of their behavior. Our algorithm effectively decomposes the computation into two
stages: a pure CTMC governs event initiations while a deterministic process guarantees
lower bounds on event completion times. Furthermore, from the nature of delayed
CTMCs, we obtain a parallelized version of our algorithm. We use our formalism
to model genetic regulatory circuits (biological systems where delayed events
are common) and report on the results of our numerical algorithm as run on a cluster.
We compare performance and accuracy of our results with results obtained by using
pure CTMCs. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.'

text: 'We propose synchronous interfaces, a new interface theory for discrete-time
systems. We use an application to time-triggered scheduling to drive the design
choices for our formalism; in particular, additionally to deriving useful mathematical
properties, we focus on providing a syntax which is adapted to natural high-level
system modeling. As a result, we develop an interface model that relies on a guarded-command
based language and is equipped with shared variables and explicit discrete-time
clocks. We define all standard interface operations: compatibility checking, composition,
refinement, and shared refinement. Apart from the synchronous interface model,
the contribution of this paper is the establishment of a formal relation between
interface theories and real-time scheduling, where we demonstrate a fully automatic
framework for the incremental computation of time-triggered schedules.'

text: Given a dense-time real-valued signal and a parameterized temporal logic formula
with both magnitude and timing parameters, we compute the subset of the parameter
space that renders the formula satisfied by the trace. We provide two preliminary
implementations, one which follows the exact semantics and attempts to compute
the validity domain by quantifier elimination in linear arithmetics and one which
conducts adaptive search in the parameter space.

text: The induction of a signaling pathway is characterized by transient complex
formation and mutual posttranslational modification of proteins. To faithfully
capture this combinatorial process in a mathematical model is an important challenge
in systems biology. Exploiting the limited context on which most binding and modification
events are conditioned, attempts have been made to reduce the combinatorial complexity
by quotienting the reachable set of molecular species into species aggregates
while preserving the deterministic semantics of the thermodynamic limit. Recently,
we proposed a quotienting that also preserves the stochastic semantics and that
is complete in the sense that the semantics of individual species can be recovered
from the aggregate semantics. In this paper, we prove that this quotienting yields
a sufficient condition for weak lumpability (that is to say that the quotient
system is still Markovian for a given set of initial distributions) and that it
gives rise to a backward Markov bisimulation between the original and aggregated
transition system (which means that the conditional probability of being in a
given state in the original system knowing that we are in its equivalence class
is an invariant of the system). We illustrate the framework on a case study of
the epidermal growth factor (EGF)/insulin receptor crosstalk.

text: Boolean notions of correctness are formalized by preorders on systems. Quantitative
measures of correctness can be formalized by real-valued distance functions between
systems, where the distance between implementation and specification provides
a measure of "fit" or "desirability". We extend the simulation
preorder to the quantitative setting by making each player of a simulation game
pay a certain price for her choices. We use the resulting games with quantitative
objectives to define three different simulation distances. The correctness distance
measures how much the specification must be changed in order to be satisfied by
the implementation. The coverage distance measures how much the implementation
restricts the degrees of freedom offered by the specification. The robustness
distance measures how much a system can deviate from the implementation description
without violating the specification. We consider these distances for safety as
well as liveness specifications. The distances can be computed in polynomial time
for safety specifications, and for liveness specifications given by weak fairness
constraints. We show that the distance functions satisfy the triangle inequality,
that the distance between two systems does not increase under parallel composition
with a third system, and that the distance between two systems can be bounded
from above and below by distances between abstractions of the two systems. These
properties suggest that our simulation distances provide an appropriate basis
for a quantitative theory of discrete systems. We also demonstrate how the robustness
distance can be used to measure how many transmission errors are tolerated by
error correcting codes.

text: Many infinite state systems can be seen as well-structured transition systems
(WSTS), i.e., systems equipped with a well-quasi-ordering on states that is also
a simulation relation. WSTS are an attractive target for formal analysis because
there exist generic algorithms that decide interesting verification problems for
this class. Among the most popular algorithms are acceleration-based forward analyses
for computing the covering set. Termination of these algorithms can only be guaranteed
for flattable WSTS. Yet, many WSTS of practical interest are not flattable and
the question whether any given WSTS is flattable is itself undecidable. We therefore
propose an analysis that computes the covering set and captures the essence of
acceleration-based algorithms, but sacrifices precision for guaranteed termination.
Our analysis is an abstract interpretation whose abstract domain builds on the
ideal completion of the well-quasi-ordered state space, and a widening operator
that mimics acceleration and controls the loss of precision of the analysis. We
present instances of our framework for various classes of WSTS. Our experience
with a prototype implementation indicates that, despite the inherent precision
loss, our analysis often computes the precise covering set of the analyzed system.

text: We describe a framework for reasoning about programs with lists carrying integer
numerical data. We use abstract domains to describe and manipulate complex constraints
on configurations of these programs mixing constraints on the shape of the heap,
sizes of the lists, on the multisets of data stored in these lists, and on the
data at their different positions. Moreover, we provide powerful techniques for
automatic validation of Hoare-triples and invariant checking, as well as for automatic
synthesis of invariants and procedure summaries using modular inter-procedural
analysis. The approach has been implemented in a tool called Celia and experimented
successfully on a large benchmark of programs.

text: Hierarchical Timing Language (HTL) is a coordination language for distributed,
hard real-time applications. HTL is a hierarchical extension of Giotto and, like
its predecessor, based on the logical execution time (LET) paradigm of real-time
programming. Giotto is compiled into code for a virtual machine, called the EmbeddedMachine
(or E machine). If HTL is targeted to the E machine, then the hierarchicalprogram
structure needs to be flattened; the flattening makes separatecompilation difficult,
and may result in E machinecode of exponential size. In this paper, we propose
a generalization of the E machine, which supports a hierarchicalprogram structure
at runtime through real-time trigger mechanisms that are arranged in a tree. We
present the generalized E machine, and a modular compiler for HTL that generates
code of linear size. The compiler may generate code for any part of a given HTL
program separately in any order.

text: We summarize classical and recent results about two-player games played on
graphs with ω-regular objectives. These games have applications in the verification
and synthesis of reactive systems. Important distinctions are whether a graph
game is turn-based or concurrent; deterministic or stochastic; zero-sum or not.
We cluster known results and open problems according to these classifications.

text: We solve the longstanding open problems of the blow-up involved in the translations,
when possible, of a nondeterministic Büchi word automaton (NBW) to a nondeterministic
co-Büchi word automaton (NCW) and to a deterministic co-Büchi word automaton (DCW).
For the NBW to NCW translation, the currently known upper bound is 2o(nlog n)
and the lower bound is 1.5n. We improve the upper bound to n2n and describe a
matching lower bound of 2ω(n). For the NBW to DCW translation, the currently known
upper bound is 2o(nlog n). We improve it to 2 o(n), which is asymptotically tight.
Both of our upper-bound constructions are based on a simple subset construction,
do not involve intermediate automata with richer acceptance conditions, and can
be implemented symbolically. We continue and solve the open problems of translating
nondeterministic Streett, Rabin, Muller, and parity word automata to NCW and to
DCW. Going via an intermediate NBW is not optimal and we describe direct, simple,
and asymptotically tight constructions, involving a 2o(n) blow-up. The constructions
are variants of the subset construction, providing a unified approach for translating
all common classes of automata to NCW and DCW. Beyond the theoretical importance
of the results, we point to numerous applications of the new constructions. In
particular, they imply a simple subset-construction based translation, when possible,
of LTL to deterministic Büchi word automata.

text: Verification of programs with procedures, multi-threaded programs, and higher-order
functional programs can be effectively au- tomated using abstraction and refinement
schemes that rely on spurious counterexamples for abstraction discovery. The analysis
of counterexam- ples can be automated by a series of interpolation queries, or,
alterna- tively, as a constraint solving query expressed by a set of recursion
free Horn clauses. (A set of interpolation queries can be formulated as a single
constraint over Horn clauses with linear dependency structure between the unknown
relations.) In this paper we present an algorithm for solving recursion free Horn
clauses over a combined theory of linear real/rational arithmetic and uninterpreted
functions. Our algorithm performs resolu- tion to deal with the clausal structure
and relies on partial solutions to deal with (non-local) instances of functionality
axioms.

text: The chemical master equation is a differential equation describing the time
evolution of the probability distribution over the possible “states” of a biochemical
system. The solution of this equation is of interest within the systems biology
field ever since the importance of the molec- ular noise has been acknowledged.
Unfortunately, most of the systems do not have analytical solutions, and numerical
solutions suffer from the course of dimensionality and therefore need to be approximated.
Here, we introduce the concept of tail approximation, which retrieves an approximation
of the probabilities in the tail of a distribution from the total probability
of the tail and its conditional expectation. This approximation method can then
be used to numerically compute the solution of the chemical master equation on
a subset of the state space, thus fighting the explosion of the state space, for
which this problem is renowned.

text: Cloud computing aims to give users virtually unlimited pay-per-use computing
resources without the burden of managing the underlying infrastructure. We present
a new job execution environment Flextic that exploits scal- able static scheduling
techniques to provide the user with a flexible pricing model, such as a tradeoff
between dif- ferent degrees of execution speed and execution price, and at the
same time, reduce scheduling overhead for the cloud provider. We have evaluated
a prototype of Flextic on Amazon EC2 and compared it against Hadoop. For various
data parallel jobs from machine learning, im- age processing, and gene sequencing
that we considered, Flextic has low scheduling overhead and reduces job du- ration
by up to 15% compared to Hadoop, a dynamic cloud scheduler.

text: We consider two-player games played in real time on game structures with clocks
where the objectives of players are described using parity conditions. The games
are concurrent in that at each turn, both players independently propose a time
delay and an action, and the action with the shorter delay is chosen. To prevent
a player from winning by blocking time, we restrict each player to play strategies
that ensure that the player cannot be responsible for causing a zeno run. First,
we present an efficient reduction of these games to turn-based (i.e., not concurrent)
finite-state (i.e., untimed) parity games. Our reduction improves the best known
complexity for solving timed parity games. Moreover, the rich class of algorithms
for classical parity games can now be applied to timed parity games. The states
of the resulting game are based on clock regions of the original game, and the
state space of the finite game is linear in the size of the region graph. Second,
we consider two restricted classes of strategies for the player that represents
the controller in a real-time synthesis problem, namely, limit-robust and bounded-robust
winning strategies. Using a limit-robust winning strategy, the controller cannot
choose an exact real-valued time delay but must allow for some nonzero jitter
in each of its actions. If there is a given lower bound on the jitter, then the
strategy is bounded-robust winning. We show that exact strategies are more powerful
than limit-robust strategies, which are more powerful than bounded-robust winning
strategies for any bound. For both kinds of robust strategies, we present efficient
reductions to standard timed automaton games. These reductions provide algorithms
for the synthesis of robust real-time controllers.

text: In addition to being correct, a system should be robust, that is, it should
behave reasonably even after receiving unexpected inputs. In this paper, we summarize
two formal notions of robustness that we have introduced previously for reactive
systems. One of the notions is based on assigning costs for failures on a user-provided
notion of incorrect transitions in a specification. Here, we define a system to
be robust if a finite number of incorrect inputs does not lead to an infinite
number of incorrect outputs. We also give a more refined notion of robustness
that aims to minimize the ratio of output failures to input failures. The second
notion is aimed at liveness. In contrast to the previous notion, it has no concept
of recovery from an error. Instead, it compares the ratio of the number of liveness
constraints that the system violates to the number of liveness constraints that
the environment violates.

text: We present a new decidable logic called TREX for expressing constraints about
imperative tree data structures. In particular, TREX supports a transitive closure
operator that can express reachability constraints, which often appear in data
structure invariants. We show that our logic is closed under weakest precondition
computation, which enables its use for automated software verification. We further
show that satisfiability of formulas in TREX is decidable in NP. The low complexity
makes it an attractive alternative to more expensive logics such as monadic second-order
logic (MSOL) over trees, which have been traditionally used for reasoning about
tree data structures.

text: 'Automated termination provers often use the following schema to prove that
a program terminates: construct a relational abstraction of the program''s transition
relation and then show that the relational abstraction is well-founded. The focus
of current tools has been on developing sophisticated techniques for constructing
the abstractions while relying on known decidable logics (such as linear arithmetic)
to express them. We believe we can significantly increase the class of programs
that are amenable to automated termination proofs by identifying more expressive
decidable logics for reasoning about well-founded relations. We therefore present
a new decision procedure for reasoning about multiset orderings, which are among
the most powerful orderings used to prove termination. We show that, using our
decision procedure, one can automatically prove termination of natural abstractions
of programs.'

text: We introduce streaming data string transducers that map input data strings
to output data strings in a single left-to-right pass in linear time. Data strings
are (unbounded) sequences of data values, tagged with symbols from a finite set,
over a potentially infinite data do- main that supports only the operations of
equality and ordering. The transducer uses a finite set of states, a finite set
of variables ranging over the data domain, and a finite set of variables ranging
over data strings. At every step, it can make decisions based on the next in-
put symbol, updating its state, remembering the input data value in its data variables,
and updating data-string variables by concatenat- ing data-string variables and
new symbols formed from data vari- ables, while avoiding duplication. We establish
that the problems of checking functional equivalence of two streaming transducers,
and of checking whether a streaming transducer satisfies pre/post verification
conditions specified by streaming acceptors over in- put/output data-strings,
are in PSPACE. We identify a class of imperative and a class of functional pro-
grams, manipulating lists of data items, which can be effectively translated to
streaming data-string transducers. The imperative pro- grams dynamically modify
a singly-linked heap by changing next- pointers of heap-nodes and by adding new
nodes. The main re- striction specifies how the next-pointers can be used for
traversal. We also identify an expressively equivalent fragment of functional
programs that traverse a list using syntactically restricted recursive calls.
Our results lead to algorithms for assertion checking and for checking functional
equivalence of two programs, written possibly in different programming styles,
for commonly used routines such as insert, delete, and reverse.
