The safety-liveness classification of boolean properties characterizes whether a given property can be falsified by observing a finite prefix of an infinite computation trace (always for safety, never for liveness). In quantitative specification and verification, properties assign not truth values, but quantitative values to infinite traces (e.g., a cost, or the distance to a boolean property). We introduce quantitative safety and liveness, and we prove that our definitions induce conservative quantitative generalizations of both (1)~the safety-progress hierarchy of boolean properties and (2)~the safety-liveness decomposition of boolean properties. In particular, we show that every quantitative property can be written as the pointwise minimum of a quantitative safety property and a quantitative liveness property. Consequently, like boolean properties, also quantitative properties can be min-decomposed into safety and liveness parts, or alternatively, max-decomposed into co-safety and co-liveness parts. Moreover, quantitative properties can be approximated naturally. We prove that every quantitative property that has both safe and co-safe approximations can be monitored arbitrarily precisely by a monitor that uses only a finite number of states.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","oa":1,"has_accepted_license":"1","external_id":{"arxiv":["2301.11175"]},"day":"21","date_updated":"2023-07-14T11:20:27Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"year":"2023","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1611-3349"],"issn":["0302-9743"],"isbn":["9783031308284"]},"intvolume":" 13992","conference":{"end_date":"2023-04-27","start_date":"2023-04-22","location":"Paris, France","name":"FOSSACS: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures"},"doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-30829-1_17","publication":"26th International Conference Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures","ec_funded":1}
