abstract = {This paper is concerned with bridging the gap between
requirements and distributed systems. Requirements are defined as basic
message sequence charts (MSCs) specifying positive and negative scenarios.
Communicating finite-state machines (CFMs), \textit{i.e.}, finite automata
that communicate via FIFO buffers, act as system realizations. The key
contribution is a generalization of Angluin's learning algorithm for
synthesizing CFMs from MSCs. This approach is exact---the resulting CFM
precisely accepts the set of positive scenarions and rejects all negative
ones---and yields fully asynchronous implementations. The paper
investigates for which classes of MSC languages CFMs can be learned,
presents an optimization technique for learning partial orders, and
provides substantial empirical evidence indicating the practical
feasibility of the approach.}

lifecycle model \emph{SMA}---the Smyle \emph{Modeling Approach}---which is
centered around \emph{Smyle}. \emph{Smyle} is a dedicated learning
procedure to support engineers to interactively obtain design models from
requirements, characterized as either being desired (positive) or unwanted
(negative) system behavior. Within \emph{SMA}, the learning approach is
complemented by so-called \emph{scenario patterns} where the engineer can
specify \emph{clearly} desired or unwanted behavior. This way, user
interaction is reduced to the interesting scenarios limiting the design
effort considerably. In~\emph{SMA}, the learning phase is further
complemented by an effective analysis phase that allows for detecting
design flaws at an early design stage. Using learning techniques allows us
to gradually develop and refine requirements, naturally supporting
evolving requirements, and allows for a rather inexpensive redesign in
case anomalous system behavior is detected during analysis, testing, or
maintenance. This paper describes the approach and reports on first
practical experiences.}

abstract = {Currently, Web services give place to active research and this
is due both to industrial and theoretical factors. On one hand, Web
services are essential as the design model of applications dedicated to
the electronic business. On the other hand, this model aims to become one
of the major formalisms for the design of distributed and cooperative
applications in an open environment (the Internet). In this article, the
authors will focus on two features of Web services. The first one concerns
the interaction problem: given the interaction protocol of a Web service
described in BPEL, how to generate the appropriate client? Their approach
is based on a formal semantics for BPEL via process algebra and yields an
algorithm which decides whether such a client exists and synthesizes the
description of this client as a (timed) automaton. The second one concerns
the design process of a service. They propose a method which proceeds by
two successive refinements: first the service is described via UML, then
refined in a BPEL model and finally enlarged with JAVA code using JCSWL, a
new language that we introduce here. Their solutions are integrated in a
service development framework that will be presented in a synthetic way.}

agents and used to coordinate their activities. We extend these languages
with a main distinguishing feature, which is the possibility to define

shared space. Two main ideas makes it possible: the consideration of an
abstraction of agents' states in the form of data at language level and
the introduction of a richer interaction mechanism than state-of-the-art
templates. This novel security mechanism allows both agents and system
designers to prohibit undesirable interactions.}

reachability is undecidable with usual stopwatches, it was proved
that this problem is decidable in ITA and that untimed languages of
ITA are effectively regular. Here we investigate the problem of
model checking timed extensions of CTL over ITA and show in
contrast that this problem is undecidable. On~the other hand, we
prove that model checking is decidable for two relevant fragments of this

precisely, we first design linear time algorithms to quantitatively
analyze IMCs. Then we develop an efficient, semi-decidable PCTL model
checking procedure for IMCs. Furthermore, our procedure returns more
refined answers than traditional ones: YES, NO, DON'T~KNOW. Thus we may
provide useful partial information for modelers in the {"}DON'T~KNOW{"}

latency of component processes. Using stochastic Petri nets,
we investigate the probability of a transition occurrence

small increase or decrease of the duration of the occurrence
entails an increase or decrease of the total duration of the
process. The first stage of the analysis focuses on
occurrence nets, as obtained by partial order unfoldings, to
determine criticality of events; we then lift to workflow
nets to investigate criticality of transitions inside a

generally built out of small specifications of individual modules, by
enriching their union. The aim of integration testing is to test the
composition of modules assuming that they have previously been verified,
i.e. assuming their correctness. One of the main method for the selection
of test cases from first-order specifications, called axiom unfolding, is
based on a proof search for the different instances of the property to be

use deduction modulo as a proof system for structured first-order

advantage of the knowledge of the correctness of the individual modules.}

important role in web services. They define the obligations
and rights between the provider of a web service and its
client, about the function and the Quality of the service
(QoS). For composite services like orchestrations, contracts
are deduced by a process called QoS contract composition,
based on contracts established between the orchestration and
the called web services. Contracts are typically stated as
hard guarantees (e.g., response time always less than 5
msec). Using hard bounds is not realistic, however, and more
statistical approaches are needed. In this paper we propose
using soft probabilistic contracts instead, which consist of
a probability distribution for the considered QoS
parameter---in this paper, we focus on timing. We show how to
compose such contracts, to yield a global probabilistic
contract for the orchestration. Our approach is implemented
by the TOrQuE tool. Experiments on TOrQuE show that overly
pessimistic contracts can be avoided and significant room
for safe overbooking exists. An essential component of SLA
management is then the continuous monitoring of the
performance of called web services, to check for violations
of the SLA. We propose a statistical technique for run-time
monitoring of soft contracts.}

abstract = {Web Service orchestrations are compositions of different Web
Services to form a new service. The services called during the orchestration
guarantee a given performance to the orchestrater, usually in the form of
contracts.\par
These contracts can be used by the orchestrater to deduce the contract it
can offer to its own clients, by performing contract composition. An
implicit assumption in contract based QoS management is: {"}the better the
component services perform, the better the orchestration's performance
will~be{"}. Thus, contract based QoS management for Web services
orchestrations implicitly assumes monotony.\par
In some orchestrations, however, monotony can be violated, i.e., the
performance of the orchestration improves when the performance of a
component service degrades. This is highly undesirable since it can render
the process of contract composition inconsistent.\par
In this paper we define monotony for orchestrations modelled by Colored
Occurrence Nets (CO-nets) and we characterize the classes of monotonic
orchestrations. We show that few orchestrations are indeed monotonic,
mostly since latency can be traded for quality of data. We also propose a
sound refinement of monotony, called \emph{conditional monotony}, which
forbids this kind of cheating and show that conditional monotony is widely
satisfied by orchestrations. This finding leads to reconsidering the way
SLAs should be formulated.}

abstract = {The use of high-level nets, such as coloured Petri nets, is very
convenient for modelling complex controllable systems in order to have a
compact, readable and structured specification. However, when coming to
the analysis phase, using too elaboratc types becomes a burden.\par
A good trade-off between expressivene and analy is capabilities is then to
have only imple types, which is achieved with symmetric nels. These latter
nels enjoy the possibility of generating a symbolic reachability gralph,
which is much smallcr than the whole state space and still allows for
exhaustive analysis.\par
In this paper, we extend the symmetric net model with bags on arcs. Hence,
variables can be bags of tokens,leading to more flexible models. We show
that symmetric nets with bags also allow for applying the symbolic
reachability graph technique with application to deadlock detection and
more generally for safety properties.}

abstract = {Markov chains are a well-known stochastic process that provide
a balance between being able to adequately model the system's behavior and
being able to afford the cost of the model solution. Systems can be
modelled directly as Markov chains, or with a higher-level formalism for
which Markov chains represent the underlying semantics. Markov chains are
widely used to study the performance of computer and telecommunication
systems. The definition of stochastic temporal logics like Continuous
Stochastic Logic~(CSL) and its variant~asCSL, and of their model-checking
algorithms, allows a unified approach to the verification of systems,
allowing the mix of performance evaluation and probabilistic verification.
\par
In this paper we present the stochastic logic CSL\textsuperscript{TA} ,
which is more expressive than CSL and~asCSL, and in which properties can
be specified using automata (more precisely, timed automata with a single
clock). The extension with respect to expressiveness allows the
specification of properties referring to the probability of a finite
sequence of timed events. A~typical example is the responsiveness property
{"}with probability at least~0.75, a~message sent at time~0 by a
system~\(A\) will be received before time~5 by system~\(B\) and the
acknowledgment will be back at~\(A\) before time~7{"}, a property that
cannot be expressed in either CSL or~asCSL. Furthermore, the choice of
using automata rather than the classical temporal operators Next and Until
should help in enlarging the accessibility of model checking to a larger
public. We~also present a model-checking algorithm
for~CSL\textsuperscript{TA}.}

however, learns deterministic finite-state automata~(DFA). Like in a~DFA,
the~states of an RFSA represent residual languages. Unlike a~DFA, an~RFSA
restricts to prime residual languages, which cannot be described as the
union of other residual languages. In~doing~so, RFSA can be exponentially
more succinct than~DFA. They are, therefore, the preferable choice for
many learning applications. The implementation of our algorithms is
applied to a collection of examples and confirms the expected advantage of
NL\(^{*}\) over L\(^{*}\).}

specifications whose axioms are quantifier-free first-order formulas with

start the selection from. We then propose an extension of the test
selection method called axiom unfolding, originally defined for algebraic
specifications, to quantifier-free first-order specifications with
equality. This method basically consists of a case analysis of the
property under test (the test purpose) according to the specification
axioms. It is based on a proof search for the different instances of the
test purpose. Since the calculus is sound and complete, this allows us to
provide a full coverage of this property. The generalisation we propose
allows to deal with any kind of predicate (not only equality) and with any
form of axiom and test purpose (not only equations or Horn clauses).
Moreover, it improves our previous works with efficiently dealing with the
equality predicate, thanks to the paramodulation rule.}

also show that if we extend this class by letting the routing depend on
the output process, then the previous decidability result fails. Finally,
we provide a natural restriction on specifications under which the whole

In this paper we show a new decidability result in the case where this
preorder is broken by the addition of noisy agents embedded in a pipeline
architecture. This case cannot be captured by the classical framework.
Besides, this architecture makes it possible to model particular security
threats, known as covert channels, where two users (the sender and the
receiver) manage to communicate via a noisy protocol, and despite
incomparable views over the environment.}

Discrete Event System, fault Diagnosis strives to determine whether or not

can be stated as follows: does the labeling allow for an outside observer
to determine the occurrence of the fault, no later than a bounded number
of events after that unobservable occurrence? In concurrent systems,
partial order semantics adds to the difficulty of the problem, but also
provides a richer and more complex picture of observation and diagnosis.
In particular, it is crucial to clarify the intuitive notion of {"}time
after fault occurrence{"}. To this end, we will use a unifying metric
framework for event structures, providing a general topological
description of diagnosability in both sequential and nonsequential
semantics for Petri nets.}

Our goal is to verify that all timed behaviours exhibited by the system
conform to the timing constraints imposed by the specification. In
general, this corresponds to checking inclusion for timed languages, which
is an undecidable problem even for timed regular languages. However, we
show that we can translate regular collections of time-constrained MSCs
into a special class of event-clock automata that can be determinized and
complemented, thus permitting an algorithmic solution to the model
checking problem.}

to existing algorithms that generate a reduced state space automatically

nets is decidable. As an important application of our approach we consider
I/O-Petri nets which are obtained by asynchronous composition and thus

actions into account. This translation is extensible to bounded~TPNs.
We~first use \(S\)-invariants to decompose the net into components that
give the structure of the automata, then we add clocks to provide the
timing information. Although we have to use an extended syntax in the
timed automata, this is a novel approach since the other transformations
and comparisons of these models did not consider the preservation of
concurrency.}

experimental results have shown that the Web services response times is
typically heavy-tailed, in particulary, if there are heterogeneous. So,
heavy-tailed response times should be considered in the dimensioning Web

the elementary Web services response times are heavy-tailed.}

equivalent to timed differential Petri nets which are a slight extension

many high-level features that were designed as extensions of Petri nets.
We focus here on two such features: colors and compositionality. We show
that the symbolic unfolding of a product of colored Petri nets can be
expressed as the product of the symbolic unfoldings of these nets. This is
a necessary result in view of distributed computations based on symbolic
unfoldings, as they have been developed already for standard unfoldings,
to design modular verification techniques, or modular diagnosis
procedures, for example. The factorization property of symbolic unfoldings
is valid for several classes of colored or high-level nets. We derive it
here for a class of (high-level) open nets, for which the composition is
performed by connecting places rather than transitions.}

distributed systems, using the partial order semantics of occurrence net
unfoldings. Both the observability and diagnosability properties will
appear in two different forms, depending on the semantics chosen:
\emph{strong} observability and diagnosability are the classical notions
from the state machine model and correspond to interleaving semantics in
Petri nets. By contrast, the \emph{weak} form is linked to characteristics
of nonsequential processes, and requires an asynchronous \emph{progress}
assumption on those processes. We give algebraic characterizations for
both types, and give verification methods. The study of weak
diagnosability leads us to the analysis of a relation in occurrence nets,
first presented in~[S.~Haar~(2007): \textit{Unfold and Cover: Qualitative
Diagnosability for Petri Nets.}]: given the occurrence of some event~\(a\)
that \emph{reveals}~\(b\), the occurrence of~\(b\) is inevitable. Then
\(b\) may already have occurred, be concurrent to, or even in the future
of~\(a\). We show that the \emph{reveals}-relation can be effectively
computed recursively---for each pair, a suitable finite prefix of bounded
depth is sufficient---and show its use in asynchronous diagnosis. Based on
this relation, a~decomposition of the Petri net unfolding into
\emph{facets} is defined, yielding an abstraction technique that preserves
and reflects maximal partially ordered runs.}

be huge, we exploit the unfolding as a compact data structure to store
them, along the lines of previous work dealing with Petri net models.
Given a model of a system and an observation, the explanations can be
constructed by unfolding the model constrained by the observation, and
then removing incomplete explanations in a pruning phase. The theory is
formalised in a general categorical setting: constraining the system by
the observation corresponds to taking a product in the chosen category of
graph grammars, so that the correctness of the procedure can be proved by
using the fact that the unfolding is a right adjoint and thus it preserves
products. The theory should hence be easily applicable to a wide class of
system models, including graph grammars and Petri nets.}

allow for an outside observer to determine the occurrence of the fault, no
later than a bounded number of events after that unobservable occurrence?

partial order semantics adds to the difficulty of the problem, but also
provides a richer and more complex picture of observation and diagnosis.
In particular, it is crucial to clarify the intuitive notion of
{"}\emph{time after fault occurrence}{"}. To this end, we will use a
unifying metric framework for event structures, providing a general
topological description of diagnosability in both sequential and
nonsequential semantics for Petri nets.}

abstract = {Petri net unfoldings are a useful tool to tackle state-space
explosion in verification and related tasks. Moreover, their structure
allows to access directly the relations of causal precedence, concurrency,
and conflict between events. Here, we explore the data structure further,
to determine the following relation: event~\(a\) is said to reveal
event~\(b\) iff the occurrence of~\(a\) implies that~\(b\) inevitably
occurs, too, be it before, after, or concurrently with~\(a\). Knowledge of
reveals facilitates in particular the analysis of partially observable
systems, in the context of diagnosis, testing, or verification; it can
also be used to generate more concise representations of behaviours via
abstractions. The reveals relation was previously introduced in the
context of fault diagnosis, where it was shown that the reveals relation
was decidable: for a given pair~\(a,b\) in the unfolding~\(U\) of a safe
Petri net~\(N\), a finite prefix~\(P\) of~\(U\) is sufficient to decide
whether or not \(a\) reveals~\(b\). In this paper, we first considerably
improve the bound on~\(|P|\). We then show that there exists an efficient
algorithm for computing the relation on a given prefix. We have
implemented the algorithm and report on experiments.}

abstract = {In recent years, a research thread focused on the use of the
unfolding semantics for verification purposes. This started with a paper
by McMillan, which devises an algorithm for constructing a finite complete
prefix of the unfolding of a safe Petri net, providing a compact
representation of the reachability graph. The extension to contextual nets
and graph transformation systems is far from being trivial because events
can have multiple causal histories. Recently, we proposed an abstract
algorithm that generalizes McMillan's construction to bounded contextual
nets without resorting to an encoding into plain P\slash T nets. Here, we
provide a more explicit construction that renders the algorithm effective.
To allow for an inductive definition of concurrency, missing in the
original proposal and essential for an efficient unfolding procedure, the
key intuition is to associate histories not only with events, but also
with places. Additionally, we outline how the proposed algorithm can be
extended to graph transformation systems, for which previous algorithms
based on the encoding of read arcs would not be applicable.}

concurrent behavior of Petri nets. The causality and conflict relations
between events, which are explicitly represented in occurrence nets,
induce logical dependencies between event occurrences: the occurrence of
an event~\(e\) in a run implies that all its causal predecessors also
occur, and that no event in conflict with \(e\) occurs. But these
structural relations do not express all the logical dependencies between
event occurrences in maximal runs: in particular, the occurrence of~\(e\)
in any maximal run may imply the occurrence of another event that is not a
causal predecessor of~\(e\), in that run. The \emph{reveals} relation has
been introduced in~[Haar, IEEE TAC 55(10):2310-2320, 2010] to express this
dependency between two events. Here we generalize the reveals relation to
express more general dependencies, involving more than two events, and we
introduce ERL logic to express them as boolean formulas. Finally we answer
the synthesis problem that arises: given an ERL formula~\(\varphi\), is
there an occurrence net~\(\mathcal{N}\) such that \(\varphi\) describes
exactly the dependencies between the events of~\(\mathcal{N}\)?}

verification of dense real-time systems against scenario-based
requirements, where a system is modeled as a network of timed automata
(TAs) or as a set of driving live sequence charts (LSCs), and a
requirement is specified as a separate monitored LSC chart. We make timed
extensions to a kernel subset of the LSC language and define a trace-based
semantics. By translating a monitored LSC chart to a behavior-equivalent
observer TA and then non-intrusively composing this observer with the
original TA-modeled real-time system, the problems of scenario-based
verification reduce to computation tree logic (CTL) real-time model
checking problems. When the real-time system is modeled as a set of
driving LSC charts, we translate these driving charts and the monitored
chart into a behavior-equivalent network of TAs by using a
{"}one-TA-per-instance line{"} approach, and then reduce the problems of
scenario-based verification also to CTL real-time model checking problems.
We show how we exploit the expressivity of the TA formalism and the CTL
query language of the real-time model checker Uppaal to accomplish these
tasks. The proposed two approaches are implemented in the Uppaal tool and
built as a tool chain, respectively. We carry out a number of experiments
with both verification approaches, and the results indicate that these
methods are viable, computationally feasible, and the tools are effective.}

The advantage with LHA is that rather elaborate information can be
collected \emph{on-the-fly} during path selection, providing the user with
a powerful means to express sophisticated measures. A formula of HASL
consists of an LHA~\(\mathcal{A}\) and an expression~\(Z\) referring to
moments of \emph{path random variables}. A~simulation-based statistical
engine is employed to obtained a confidence-interval estimate of the
expected value of~\(Z\). In essence HASL provide a unifying verification
framework where sophisticated temporal reasoning is naturally blended with
elabo- rate reward-based analysis. We illustrate the HASL approach by
means of some examples and a discussion about its expressivity. We also
provide empirical evidence obtained through COSMOS, a prototype software

abstract = {This chapter illustrates two aspects of automata theory related
to linear-time temporal logic LTL used for the verification of computer
systems. First, we present a translation from LTL formulae to B{\"u}chi
automata. The aim is to design an elementary translation which is
reasonably efficient and produces small automata so that it can be easily
taught and used by hand on real examples. Our translation is in the spirit
of the classical tableau constructions but is optimized in several ways.
Secondly, we recall how temporal operators can be defined from regular
languages and we explain why adding even a single operator definable by a
context-free language can lead to undecidability.}

us to extend the current classification of WSTS, in particular solving
some open problems, and to unify the existing proofs.}

We give a syntactical translation from bounded GTPNs to timed automata
(TA) that generates isomorphic transition systems. We prove that the class
of bounded GTPNs is stricly less expressive than TA w.r.t. weak timed
bisimilarity. We prove that bounded GTPNs, bounded TPNs and TA are equally

syntactical subclass of TA that is equally expressive to bounded GTPNs
{"}\`a~la Merlin{"} w.r.t. weak timed bisimilarity. These results provide
a unified comparison of the expressiveness of many variants of timed
models often used in practice. It leads to new important results for TPNs.
Among them are: 1-safe TPNs and bounded-TPNs are equally expressive;
\(\epsilon\)-transitions strictly increase the expressive power of TPNs;
self modifying nets as well as read, inhibitor and reset arcs do not add
expressiveness to bounded TPNs.}

automata. TCS 211(1-2):253-273, 1999.], which we call Event Clock
Message Passing Automata (ECMPA). To describe the behaviors of
such systems we use timed partial orders (modeled as message
sequence charts with timing).\par
Our first goal is to extend the classical
B{\"u}chi-Elgot-Trakhtenbrot equivalence to the timed and
distributed setting, by showing an equivalence between ECMPA and a
timed extension of monadic second-order (MSO) logic. We obtain
such a constructive equivalence in two different ways:
(1)~by~restricting the semantics by bounding the set of timed
partial orders (2)~by~restricting the timed MSO logic to its
existential fragment. We next consider the emptiness problem for
ECMPA, which asks if a given ECMPA has some valid timed
execution. In general this problem is undecidable and we show that
by considering only bounded timed executions, we can obtain
decidability. We do this by constructing a timed automaton which
accepts all bounded timed executions of the ECMPA and checking
emptiness of this timed automaton.}

concurrent behavior of Petri nets. The causality and conflict relations
between events, which are explicitly represented in occurrence nets,
induce logical dependencies between event occurrences: the occurrence of
an event~\(e\) in a run implies that all its causal predecessors also
occur, and that no event in conflict with~\(e\) occurs. But these
structural relations do not express all the logical dependencies between
event occurrences in maximal runs: in particular, the occurrence of~\(e\)
in any maximal run may imply the occurrence of another event that is not a
causal predecessor of~\(e\), in that run. The \emph{reveals} relation has
been introduced to express this dependency between two events. Here we
generalize the reveals relation to express more general dependencies,
involving more than two events, and we introduce ERL logic to express them
as boolean formulas. Finally we answer the synthesis problem that arises:
given an ERL formula~\(\varphi\), is there an occurrence
net~\(\mathcal{N}\) such that \(\varphi\)~describes exactly the
dependencies between the events of~\(\mathcal{N}\)?}

allows transitions to check for tokens without consuming them. Contextual
nets allow for better modelling of concurrent read access than Petri nets,
and their unfoldings can be exponentially more compact than those of a
corresponding Petri net. A constructive but abstract procedure for
generating those unfoldings was proposed in previous work. However, it
remained unclear whether the approach was useful in practice and which data
structures and algorithms would be appropriate to implement it. Here, we
address this question. We provide two concrete methods for computing
contextual unfoldings, with a view to efficiency. We report on experiments
carried out on a number of benchmarks. These show that not only are
contextual unfoldings more compact than Petri net unfoldings, but they can
be computed with the same or better efficiency, in particular with respect
to alternative approaches based on encodings of contextual nets into Petri
nets.}

controlled by a sender process and that are immediately received by the
target process. The fair synthesis problem is to come up with a local
strategy for each process such that the resulting fair behaviors of the
system meet a given specification. We consider external specifications
satisfying some natural closure properties related to the architecture. We
present this new setting for studying the fair synthesis problem for
distributed systems, and give decidability results for the subclass of
networks where communications happen through a strongly connected graph.
We claim that this framework for distributed synthesis is natural,
convenient and avoids most of the usual sources of undecidability for the
synthesis problem. Hence, it may open the way to a decidable theory of
distributed synthesis.}

algorithms for deadlock and reachability of contextual nets. Moreover, we
study optimizations of the SAT encoding and report on experiments.}

abstract = {Multi-threaded programs with recursion are naturally modeled as
multi-pushdown systems. The behaviors are represented as multiply nested
words (MNWs), which are words enriched with additional binary relations
for each stack matching a push operation with the corresponding pop
operation. Any MNW can be decomposed by two basic and natural operations:
shuffle of two sequences of factors and merge of consecutive factors of a
sequence. We say that the split-width of a MNW is~\(k\) if it admits a
decomposition where the number of factors in each sequence is at most~\(k\).
The MSO theory of MNWs with split-width~\(k\) is decidable. We introduce two
very general classes of MNWs that strictly generalize known decidable
classes and prove their MSO decidability via their split-width and obtain
comparable or better bounds of tree-width of known classes.}

problems, and concurrent semantics reflect realistic situations where the
environment can always produce a move before the controller, although it
is never required to do so. This is in contrast with previous works, which
focused mainly on turn-based semantics. Moreover, we consider asymmetric
games, where environment and controller do not have the same capabilities,
although they both have restricted power. In this setting, we investigate
reachability and safety objectives, which are not dual to each other
anymore, and we prove that (i)~reachability games are undecidable for
finite targets, (ii)~they are 2-EXPTIME-complete for upward-closed targets
and (iii)~safety games are co-NP-complete for finite, upward-closed and
semi-linear targets. Moreover, for the decidable cases, we build a finite
representation of the corresponding controllers.}

refinements of modal Petri nets by relating their generated modal language

the membership problem for the class of weakly deterministic modal Petri

coexist in the literature. This naturally induces a need to compare their
expressiveness and to translate models from one formalism to another when
possible. The first formal comparisons of the expressiveness of these
models focused on the preservation of the sequential behavior of the
models, using notions like timed language equivalence or timed
bisimilarity. They do not consider preservation of concurrency. In~this
paper we define timed traces as a partial order representation of
executions of our models for real-time distributed systems. Timed traces
provide an alternative to timed words, and take the distribution of
actions into account. We propose a translation between two popular
formalisms that describe timed concurrent systems: \(1\)-bounded time Petri
nets~(TPN) and networks of timed automata~(NTA). Our translation preserves
the distribution of actions, that is we require that if the TPN represents
the product of several components (called processes), then each process
should have its counterpart as one timed automaton in the resulting~NTA.}

subclass of hybrid automata well suited to the description of timed

While the reachability problem is undecidable for hybrid automata we show
that it is decidable for ITA. More precisely we prove that the untimed
language of an ITA is regular, by building a finite automaton as a
generalized class graph. We then establish that the reachability problem
for ITA is in NEXPTIME and in PTIME when the number of clocks is fixed. To
prove the first result, we define a subclass ITA\(_{-}\) of ITA, and show
that (1)~any ITA can be reduced to a language-equivalent automaton in
ITA\(_{-}\) and (2)~the reachability problem in this subclass is in NEXPTIME
(without any class graph).\par
In the next step, we investigate the verification of real time properties
over ITA. We prove that model checking SCL, a fragment of a timed linear
time logic, is undecidable. On the other hand, we give model checking
procedures for two fragments of timed branching time logic.\par
We also compare the expressive power of classical timed automata and ITA
and prove that the corresponding families of accepted languages are
incomparable. The result also holds for languages accepted by controlled
real-time automata (CRTA), that extend timed automata. We finally combine
ITA with CRTA, in a model which encompasses both classes and show that the
reachability problem is still decidable. Additionally we show that the
languages of ITA are neither closed under complementation nor under
intersection.}

language-theoretic result: for every context-free language~\(L\), there is
a bounded context-free language \(L'\subseteq L\) which has the same
Parikh (commutative) image as~\(L\). Bounded languages, introduced by
Ginsburg and Spanier, are subsets of regular languages of the form
\(w_{1}^{*}w_{2}^{*}\cdots w_{m}^{*}\) for some \(w_1,\cdots,w_{m}\in
\Sigma^{*}\). In particular bounded context-free languages have nice
structural and decidability properties. Our proof proceeds in two parts.
First, we give a new construction that shows that each context free
language~\(L\) has a subset~\(L_{N}\) that has the same Parikh image
as~\(L\) and that can be represented as a sequence of substitutions on a
linear language. Second, we inductively construct a Parikh-equivalent
bounded context-free subset of~\(L_{N}\).\par
We show two applications of this result in model checking: to
underapproximate the reachable state space of multithreaded procedural
programs and to underapproximate the reachable state space of recursive
counter programs. The bounded language constructed above provides a
decidable underapproximation for the original problems. By iterating the
construction, we get a semi-algorithm for the original problems that
constructs a sequence of underapproximations such that no two
underapproximations of the sequence can be compared. This provides a
progress guarantee: every word~\(w\in L\) is in some underapproximation of
the sequence, and hence, a program bug is guaranteed to be found. In
particular, we show that verification with bounded languages generalizes
context-bounded reachability for multithreaded programs.}

computational complexity, and (2)~the memory required for the active
diagnoser produced by the synthesis is minimal. Furthermore, focusing on
the minimal delay before detection, we establish that the memory required
for any active diagnoser achieving this delay may be highly greater than
the previous one. So we refine our construction to build with the same
complexity and memory requirement an active diagnoser that realizes a
delay bounded by twice the minimal delay.}

abstract = {Under maximal semantics, the occurrence of an event~\(a\) in a
concurrent run of an occurrence net may imply the occurrence of other
events, not causally related to~\(a\), in the same run. In recent works, we
have formalized this phenomenon as the \emph{reveals} relation, and used
it to obtain a contraction of sets of events called \emph{facets} in the
context of occurrence nets. Here, we extend this idea to propose a
canonical contraction of general safe Petri nets into pieces of
partial-order behaviour which can be seen as {"}macro-transitions{"} since
all their events must occur together in maximal semantics. On occurrence
nets, our construction coincides with the facets abstraction. Our
contraction preserves the maximal semantics in the sense that the maximal
processes of the contracted net are in bijection with those of the
original net.}

concurrent conformance relation named co-ioco. We propose a test
generation algorithm based on Petri net unfolding able to build a complete
test suite w.r.t our co-ioco conformance relation. In addition we propose
a coverage criterion based on a dedicated notion of complete prefixes that
selects a manageable test suite.}

difficult to handle. Such systems are desirable to be diagnosable, i.e.
faults can be automatically detected as they occur (or shortly
afterwards), enabling the system to handle the fault or recover. A system
is diagnosable if it is possible to detect every fault, in a finite time
after they occurred, by only observing the available information from the
system. Complex systems are usually built from simpler components running
concurrently. We study how to infer the diagnosability property of a
complex system (distributed and with multiple faults) from a parallelized
analysis of the diagnosability of each of its components synchronizing
with fault free versions of the others. In this paper we make the
following contributions: (1)~we~address the diagnosability problem of
concurrent systems with arbitrary faults occurring freely in each
component. (2)~We~distribute the diagnosability analysis and illustrate
our approach with examples. Moreover, (3)~we~present a prototype tool that

successfully used for verifying complex concurrent systems, modelled using
various formalisms. However, it is still hard to coordinate these tools
since they rely on such a large number of formalisms. Having a proper
syntactical mechanism to interrelate them through variability would
increase the capability of effective integrated formal methods. In this
paper, we propose a modular approach for defining new formalisms by
reusing existing ones and adding new features and/or constraints. Our
approach relies on standard XML technologies; their use provides the
capability of rapidly and automatically obtaining tools for representing
and validating models. It thus enables fast iterations in developing and
testing complex formalisms. As a case study, we applied our modular
definition approach on families of Petri nets and timed automata.}

approach builds on strengths and techniques of unfoldings of safe
Petri nets, striving to compute a compact prefix of the unfolding

diagnosis approaches by Benveniste \textit{et~al.} as well as
Esparza and Kern. Both of these focused mostly on the use of
sequential observations, in particular did not exploit the
capacity of unfoldings to reveal inevitable occurrences of
concurrent or future events studied by Balaguer
\textit{et~al.}. Our diagnosis method captures such indirect,
revealed dependencies. We~develop theoretical foundations and an
algorithmic solution to the diagnosis problem, and present a SAT
solving method for practical diagnosis with our approach.}

to determine the following relation: event~\(a\) is said to reveal
event~\(b\) iff the occurrence of~\(a\) implies that~\(b\) inevitably
occurs, too, be it before, after, or concurrently with~\(a\). Knowledge of
reveals facilitates in particular the analysis of partially observable
systems, in the context of diagnosis, testing, or verification; it can
also be used to generate more concise representations of behaviours via
abstractions. The reveals relation was previously introduced in the
context of fault diagnosis, where it was shown that the reveals relation
was decidable: for a given pair~\(a,b\) in the unfolding~\(U\) of a safe
Petri net~\(N\), a finite prefix~\(P\) of~\(U\) is sufficient to decide
whether or not \(a\) reveals~\(b\). In this paper, we first considerably
improve the bound on~\(|P|\). We then show that there exists an efficient
algorithm for computing the relation on a given prefix. We have
implemented the algorithm and report on experiments.}

(history-dependent randomized) policy \(\pi\) ensuring that the
steady-state distribution of~\(M\) under~\(\pi\) is

policies suffice to achieve a given steady-state distribution. Then we
infer that the steady-state control problem is decidable for~MDP, and can
be represented as a linear program which is solvable in PTIME. This
decidability result extends to labeled MDP (LMDP) where the objective is a
steady-state distribution on labels carried by the states, and we provide
a PSPACE algorithm. We also show that a related steady-state language
inclusion problem is decidable in EXPTIME for LMDP. Finally, we prove that
if we consider MDP under partial observation (POMDP), the steady-state
control problem becomes undecidable.}

Anyway, extended free choice safe time Petri nets (TPNs) were already
identified as a class where partial order semantics behaves well. We show
that, for this class, the time progress assumption can even be dropped

relation between partial-order semantics and time progress assumption.}

concurrent programs with recursive procedure calls. While sequential
recursive programs are usually modeled as pushdown automata, concurrent
recursive programs involve several processes and can be naturally
abstracted as pushdown automata with multiple stacks. Their behavior can
be understood as words with multiple nesting relations, each relation
connecting a procedure call with its corresponding return. To reason about
multiply nested words, we consider the class of all temporal logics as
defined in the book by Gabbay, Hodkinson, and Reynolds~(1994). The
unifying feature of these temporal logics is that their modalities are
defined in monadic second-order~(MSO) logic. In particular, this captures
numerous temporal logics over concurrent and/or recursive programs that
have been defined so far. Since the general model checking problem is
undecidable, we restrict attention to phase bounded executions as proposed
by La~Torre, Madhusudan, and Parlato (LICS~2007). While the MSO model
checking problem in this case is non-elementary, our main result states
that the model checking (and satisfiability) problem for all MSO-definable
temporal logics is decidable in elementary time. More precisely, it is
solvable in \((n+2)\)-EXPTIME where \(n\) is the maximal level of the MSO
modalities in the monadic quantifier alternation hierarchy. We complement
this result and provide, for each level~\(n\), a~temporal logic whose
model checking problem is \(n\)-EXPSPACE-hard.}

The considered paths are executions of Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets

discrete event stochastic processes. The computation of the HASL formulas
for a GSPN model is demanded to the COSMOS tool, that applies simulation
techniques to the formula computation. Stochastic Symmetric Nets (SSN) are
an high level Petri net formalism, of the \emph{colored} type, in which tokens can
have an identity, and it is well known that colored Petri nets allow one to
describe systems in a more compact and parametric form than basic
(uncolored) Petri nets. In this paper we propose to extend HASL and COSMOS
to support colors, so that performance formulas for SSN can be easily
defined and evaluated. This requires a new definition of the logic, to
ensure that colors are taken into account in a correct and useful manner,
and a significant extension of the COSMOS tool.}

session automata (i)~have an expressiveness partly extending, partly

standard behavioural properties of Petri nets is reduced in this

built-in communication channels. They are equipped with a compositional
semantics in terms of asynchronous I/O-transition systems (AIOTSs)
admitting infinite state spaces. We study various channel properties that
deal with the production and consumption of messages exchanged via the
communication channels and establish useful relationships between them. In
order to support incremental design we show that the channel properties
considered in this work are preserved by asynchronous composition, i.e.
they are compositional. As a crucial result we prove that the channel
properties are decidable for AIOPNs.}

properties of finite nested words (or~equivalently finite unranked trees).
These can be used for XML documents or recursive programs: for~instance,
counting how often a given entry occurs in an XML document, or~computing
the memory required for a recursive program execution. Our main interest
is to translate these properties, as efficiently as possible, into an
automaton, and to use this computational device to decide problems related
to the properties (e.g.,~emptiness, model checking, simulation) or to
compute the value of a quantitative specification over a given nested
word. The specification formalisms are weighted regular expressions (with
forward and backward moves following linear edges or call-return edges),
weighted first-order logic, and weighted temporal logics. We~introduce
weighted automata walking in nested words, possibly dropping\slash lifting
(reusable) pebbles during the traversal. We prove that the evaluation
problem for such automata can be done very efficiently if the number of
pebble names is small, and we also consider the emptiness problem.}

Tree}~(NdRFT) formalism is proposed: it allows the modeling of failures of
complex systems in addition to their repair processes. Its originality
with respect to other Fault Tree extensions allows us to address repair
strategy optimization problems: in an NdRFT model, the decision as to
whether to start or not a given repair action is non-deterministic, so
that all the possibilities are left open. The formalism is rather
powerful, it allows: the specification of self-revealing events, the
representation of components degradation, the choice among local repair,
global repair, preventive maintenance, and the specification of the
resources needed to start a repair action. The optimal repair strategy
with respect to some relevant system state function, e.g. system
unavailability, can then be computed by solving an optimization problem on
a Markov Decision Process derived from the NdRFT. Such derivation is
obtained by converting the NdRFT model into an intermediate formalism
called Markov Decision Petri Net~(MDPN). In the paper, the NdRFT syntax
and semantics are formally described, together with the conversion rules
to derive from the NdRFT the corresponding MDPN model. The application of
NdRFT is illustrated through examples.}

partially ordered sets. Occurrence nets, which belong to the family of
Petri nets, model concurrent processes as partially ordered sets of
occurrences of local states and local events. On the basis of the
associated concurrency relation, a closure operator can be defined, giving
rise to a lattice of closed sets. Extending previous results along this
line, the present paper studies occurrence nets with forward conflicts,
modelling families of processes. It is shown that the lattice of closed
sets is orthomodular, and the relations between closed sets and some
particular substructures of an occurrence net are studied. In particular,
the paper deals with runs, modelling concurrent histories, and trails,
corresponding to possible histories of sequential components. A~second
closure operator is then defined by means of an iterative procedure.
The~corresponding closed sets, here called 'dynamically closed', are shown
to form a complete lattice, which in general is not orthocomplemented.
Finally, it is shown that, if an occurrence net satisfies a property
called B-density, which essentially says that any antichain meets any
trail, then the two notions of closed set coincide, and they form a
complete, algebraic orthomodular lattice.}

diagnoser must eventually detect fault occurrences. The diagnosability
problem consists in deciding whether such a diagnoser exists. Here we
investigate diagnosis for probabilistic systems modelled by partially
observed Markov chains also called probabilistic labeled transition
systems (pLTS). First we study different specifications of diagnosability
and establish their relations both in finite and infinite pLTS. Then we
analyze the complexity of the diagnosability problem for finite pLTS: we
show that the polynomial time procedure earlier proposed is erroneous and
that in fact for all considered specifications, the problem is
PSPACE-complete. We also establish tight bounds for the size of
diagnosers. Afterwards we consider the dual notion of predictability which
consists in predicting that in a safe run, a fault will eventually occur.
Predictability is an easier problem than diagnosability: it is
NLOGSPACE-complete. Yet the predictor synthesis is as hard as the
diagnoser synthesis. Finally we introduce and study the more flexible
notion of prediagnosability that generalizes predictability and
diagnosability.}

emptiness problem for context-bounded PCAs is decidable for the classes of
pipelines, rings, and trees, their model-checking problem wrt. MSO
properties also becomes decidable. While previous work on model checking
parameterized systems typically uses temporal logics without next

computing these measures is that we need the total number of possible
outputs and, for each possible output, the number of inputs that lead to
it. A direct computation of these quantities is infeasible because of the
state-explosion problem. We therefore propose symbolic algorithms based on
binary decision diagrams (BDDs). The advantage of our approach is that
these symbolic algorithms can be easily implemented in any BDD-based
model-checking tool that checks for reachability in deterministic
non-recursive programs by computing program summaries. We demonstrate the
validity of our approach by implementing these algorithms in a tool
Moped-QLeak, which is built upon Moped, a model checker for Boolean

probabilistic programs.}

obtain a contraction of sets of events called facets in the context of
occurrence nets. Here, we extend this idea to propose a canonical
contraction of general safe Petri nets into pieces of partial-order

construction coincides with the facets abstraction. Our contraction
preserves the maximal semantics in the sense that the maximal processes of

In this paper, we present a new algorithm that exploits the concurrency

search space. The algorithm relies on Petri net unfoldings that can be
used to compute a compact representation of the dynamics. We illustrate
the applicability of the algorithm with Petri net models of cell
signalling and regulation networks, Boolean and multi-valued. The proposed
approach aims at being complementary to existing methods for deriving the
attractors of Boolean models, while being generic since they apply to any
safe Petri net.}

been shown that stochastic Petri nets are appropriate to model such

evaluation can be done numerically when the combinatorial state space
explosion is manageable or statistically otherwise. However, when the
probabilities to be evaluated are too small, random simulation requires
more sophisticated techniques for the handling of rare events. In this
paper, we show how such involved methods can be successfully applied for
signalling cascades. More precisely, we study three relevant properties of
a signalling cascade with the help of the Cosmos tool. Our experiments
point out interesting dependencies between quantitative parameters of the
regulatory system and its transient behaviour. In addition, they
demonstrate that we can go beyond the capabilities of Marcie which
provides one of the most efficient numerical solvers.}

passing. A~given PCA can be run on any topology of bounded degree (such as
pipelines, rings, or ranked trees), and communication may take place
between any two processes that are adjacent in the topology. Parameterized
verification asks if there is a topology from a given topology class that
allows for an accepting run of the given PCA. In general, this problem is
undecidable even for synchronous communication and simple pipeline
topologies. We therefore consider context-bounded verification, which
restricts the behavior of each single process. For several variants of
context bounds, we show that parameterized verification over pipelines,
rings, and ranked trees is decidable. Our approach is automata-theoretic
and uniform. We introduce a notion of graph acceptor that identifies those
topologies allowing for an accepting run. Depending on the given topology
class, the topology acceptor can then be restricted, or adjusted, so that
the verification problem reduces to checking emptiness of finite automata
or tree automata.}

abstract = {Markov Decision Processes (MDP) are a widely used model
including both non-deterministic and probabilistic choices. Minimal and
maximal probabilities to reach a target set of states, with respect to a
policy resolving non-determinism, may be computed by several methods
including value iteration. This algorithm, easy to implement and efficient
in terms of space complexity, consists in iteratively finding the
probabilities of paths of increasing length. However, it raises three
issues: (1)~defining a stopping criterion ensuring a bound on the
approximation, (2)~analyzing the rate of convergence, and (3)~specifying
an additional procedure to obtain the exact values once a sufficient
number of iterations has been performed. The first two issues are still
open and for the third one a {"}crude{"} upper bound on the number of
iterations has been proposed. Based on a graph analysis and transformation
of MDPs, we address these problems. First we introduce an interval
iteration algorithm, for which the stopping criterion is straightforward.
Then we exhibit convergence rate. Finally we significantly improve the
bound on the number of iterations required to get the exact values.}

observation of sequences of actions and blockings, thus they are not
capable of capturing and exploiting concurrency of non sequential

physically distributed systems. Such systems can be partially observed at
each of their points of control and observation by the sequences of inputs

paper we consider diagnosability under the weak fairness (WF)

a given set can stay enabled forever---it~must eventually
either fire or be disabled. We show that a previous approach
to WF-diagnosability in the literature has a major flaw, and
present a corrected notion. Moreover, we present an efficient
method for verifying WF-diagnosability based on a reduction
to LTL-X model checking. An important advantage of this
method is that the LTL-X formula is fixed---in~particular,
the WF assumption does not have to be expressed as a part of
it (which would make the formula length proportional to the
size of the specification), but rather the ability of existing
model checkers to handle weak fairness directly is exploited.}

finite automata that enjoys applications, e.g., in language processing and

recently been generalized to weighted pebble walking automata, which
proved useful as a tool for the specification and evaluation of
quantitative properties over words and nested words. In this paper, we
establish the expressive power of weighted pebble walking automata in
terms of transitive closure logic, lifting a similar result by Engelfriet
and Hoogeboom from the Boolean case to a quantitative setting. This result
applies to general classes of graphs, including all the aforementioned

equivalent to~\(\phi\) on all topologies from~\(T\). We~give uniform constructions
which allow us to instantiate~\(T\) with concrete classes such as pipelines,
ranked trees, grids, rings,~etc. The proofs build on a locality theorem
for first-order logic due to Schwentick and Barthelmann, and they exploit
concepts from the non-parameterized case, notably a result by Genest,

controlling the system in order to ensure its diagnosability. We consider
here a stochastic framework for this problem: once a control is selected,
the system becomes a stochastic process. In this setting, the active
diagnosis problem consists in deciding whether there exists some
observation-based strategy that makes the system diagnosable with
probability one. We prove that this problem is EXPTIME-complete, and that
the active diagnosis strategies are belief-based. The safe active
diagnosis problem is similar, but aims at enforcing diagnosability while
preserving a positive probability to non faulty runs, i.e. without
enforcing the occurrence of a fault. We prove that this problem requires
non belief-based strategies, and that it is undecidable. However, it
belongs to NEXPTIME when restricted to belief-based strategies. Our work
also refines the decidability/undecidability frontier for verification
problems on partially observed Markov decision processes.}

There are two natural semantics for such systems. The \emph{universal}
semantics captures behaviors that hold under any choice of clock rates for
the individual components. This is a natural choice when checking that a
system always satisfies a positive specification. To check if a system
avoids a negative specification, it is better to use the
\emph{existential} semantics—the set of behaviors that the system
can possibly exhibit under some choice of clock rates.\par
We show that the existential semantics always describes a regular set of
behaviors. However, in the case of universal semantics, checking emptiness
or universality turns out to be undecidable. As an alternative to the
universal semantics, we propose a \emph{reactive} semantics that allows us
to check positive specifications and yet describes a regular set of
behaviors.}

this feature, this formalism is incomparable with Timed Automata.\par
However several decidability results related to reachability and model
checking have been obtained. We add auxiliary clocks to ITA, thereby
extending its expressive power while preserving decidability of
reachability. Moreover, we define a parametrized version of ITA, with
polynomials of parameters appearing in guards and updates. While
parametric reasoning is particularly relevant for timed models, it very
often leads to undecidability results. We prove that various reachability
problems, including robust reachability, are decidable for this model, and
we give complexity upper bounds for a fixed or variable number of clocks,
levels and parameters.}

detecting whether or not the given sequence of observed labels indicates
that some unobservable fault has occurred. Diagnosability is an associated
property of the Petri net, stating that in any possible execution an
occurrence of a fault can eventually be diagnosed.\par
In this paper we consider diagnosability under the weak fairness (WF)
assumption, which intuitively states that no transition from a given set
can stay enabled forever---it~must eventually either fire or be disabled.
We show that a previous approach to WF-diagnosability in the literature
has a major flaw, and present a corrected notion. Moreover, we present an
efficient method for verifying WF-diagnosability based on a reduction to
LTL-X model checking. An~important advantage of this method is that the
LTL-X formula is fixed---in~particular, the WF assumption does not have to
be expressed as a part of it (which would make the formula length
proportional to the size of the specification), but rather the ability of
existing model checkers to handle weak fairness directly is exploited.}

complemented, thus permitting an algorithmic solution to the model

we perform a controlled folding giving rise to a Petri net which contains
both the input log and all independence-equivalent traces arising from~it.
Remarkably, the derived Petri net cannot execute any trace from the
negative collection. The entire chain of transformations is fully
automated. A tool has been developed and experimental results are provided
that witness the significance of the contribution of this paper.}

abstract = {We introduce an automata-theoretic method for the verification
of distributed algorithms running on ring networks. In a distributed
algorithm, an arbitrary number of processes cooperate to achieve a common
goal (e.g., elect a leader). Processes have unique identifiers (pids) from
an infinite, totally ordered domain. An algorithm proceeds in synchronous
rounds, each round allowing a process to perform a bounded sequence of
actions such as send or receive a pid, store it in some register, and
compare register contents wrt. the associated total order. An algorithm is
supposed to be correct independently of the number of processes. To
specify correctness properties, we introduce a logic that can reason about
processes and pids. Referring to leader election, it may say that, at the
end of an execution, each process stores the maximum pid in some dedicated
register. Since the verification of distributed algorithms is undecidable,
we propose an underapproximation technique, which bounds the number of
rounds. This is an appealing approach, as the number of rounds needed by a
distributed algorithm to conclude is often exponentially smaller than the
number of processes. We provide an automata-theoretic solution, reducing
model checking to emptiness for alternating two-way automata on words.
Overall, we show that round-bounded verification of distributed algorithms
over rings is PSPACE-complete.}

explosion is manageable or statistically otherwise. However, when the
probabilities to be evaluated are too small, random simulation requires
more sophisticated techniques for the handling of rare events. In this
paper, we show how such involved methods can be successfully applied for
signalling cascades. More precisely, we study three relevant properties of
a signalling cascade with the help of the COSMOS tool. Our experiments
point out interesting dependencies between quantitative parameters of the
regulatory system and its transient behaviour. In addition, they
demonstrate that we can go beyond the capabilities of MARCIE, which
provides one of the most efficient numerical solvers.}

simultaneous consumption and creation of tokens. In the context of
ordinary Petri nets, this poses no particular problem because of the
system's asynchronicity, even if token creation occurs later than token
consumption in the firing. With read arcs, the situation changes, and
several different choices of semantics are possible. The step semantics
introduced by Janicki and Koutny can be seen as imposing a two-phase
firing scheme: first, the presence of the required tokens is checked, then
consumption and production of tokens happens. Pursuing this approach
further, we develop a more general framework based on explicitly splitting
the phases of firing, allowing to synthesize coherent steps. This turns
out to define a more general non-atomic semantics, which has important
potential for safety as it allows to detect errors that were missed by the
previous semantics. Then we study the characterization of partial-order
processes feasible under one or the other semantics.}

abstract = {We introduce the Hybrid Automata Stochastic Language (HASL), a
new temporal logic formalism for the verification of Discrete Event
Stochastic Processes (DESP). HASL employs a Linear Hybrid Automaton (LHA)
to select prefixes of relevant execution paths of a DESP. LHA allows
rather elaborate information to be collected \emph{on-the-fly} during path
selection, providing the user with powerful means to express sophisticated
measures. A~formula of HASL consists of an LHA and an expression~\(Z\)
referring to moments of \emph{path random variables}. A~simulation-based
statistical engine is employed to obtain a confidence interval estimate
of the expected value of~\(Z\). In~essence, HASL~provides a unifying
verification framework where temporal reasoning is naturally blended with
elaborate reward-based analysis. Moreover, we have implemented a tool,
named COSMOS, for performing analysis of HASL formula for DESP modelled by
Petri nets. Using this tool we have developed two detailed case studies: a
flexible manufacturing system and a genetic oscillator.}

Active diagnosis aims at controlling the system to render it diagnosable. Past research has proposed solutions for this problem, but their complexity remains to be improved. Here, we solve the decision and synthesis problems for active diagnosability, proving that (1) our procedures are optimal with respect to computational complexity, and (2) the memory required for our diagnoser is minimal. We then study the delay between a fault occurrence and its detection by the diagnoser. We construct a memory-optimal diagnoser whose delay is at most twice the minimal delay, whereas the memory required to achieve optimal delay may be highly greater. We also provide a solution for parametrized active diagnosis, where we automatically construct the most permissive controller respecting a given delay.}

abstract = {We study the linear-time model checking problem for boolean concurrent programs with recursive procedure calls. While sequential recursive programs are usually modeled as pushdown automata, concurrent recursive programs involve several processes and can be naturally abstracted as pushdown automata with multiple stacks. Their behavior can be understood as words with multiple nesting relations, each relation connecting a procedure call with its corresponding return. To reason about multiply nested words, we consider the class of all temporal logics as defined in the book by Gabbay, Hodkinson, and Reynolds. The unifying feature of these temporal logics is that their modalities are defined in monadic second-order (MSO) logic. In particular, this captures numerous temporal logics over concurrent and/or recursive programs that have been defined so far. Since the general model checking problem is undecidable, we restrict attention to phase bounded executions as proposed by La Torre, Madhusudan, and Parlato. While the MSO model checking problem in this case is non-elementary, our main result states that the model checking (and satisfiability) problem for all MSO-definable temporal logics is decidable in elementary time. More precisely, it is solvable in time exponential in the formula and (n+2)-fold exponential in the number of phases where n is the maximal level of the MSO modalities in the monadic quantifier alternation hierarchy (which is a vast improvement over the conference version of this paper from LICS 2013 where the space was also (n+2)-fold exponential in the size of the temporal formula). We complement this result and provide, for each level n, a temporal logic whose model checking problem is n-EXPSPACE-hard.}

Available biological data are however often insufficient for full model specification. In this paper, we focus on partially specified models where the missing information is abstracted in the form of parameters. We introduce a novel approach to analysis of parametric logical regulatory networks addressing both sources of combinatoric explosion native to the model. First, we introduce a new compact representation of admissible parameters using Boolean lattices. Then, we define the unfolding of parametric regulatory networks. The resulting structure provides a partial- order reduction of concurrent transitions, and factorises the common transitions among the concrete models. A comparison is performed against state-of-the-art approaches to parametric model analysis.}

It is well-known that universality and language inclusion for OCAs are undecidable. In this paper, we consider OCAs with counter observability: Whenever the automaton produces a letter, it outputs the current counter value along with it. Hence, its language is now a set of words over an infinite alphabet. We show that universality and inclusion for that model are PSPACE-complete, thus no harder than the corresponding problems for finite automata. In fact, by establishing a link with visibly one-counter automata, we show that OCAs with counter observability are effectively determinizable and closed under all boolean operations. Moreover, it turns out that they are expressively equivalent to strong automata, in which transitions are guarded by MSO formulas over the natural numbers with successor.}

connected by passengers changing lines and thus transmit
perturbations from one line or mode to another. We present a formal

(i)~individual and possibly multi-modal trip profiles with branches
resulting from different decision outcomes, (ii)~the~movement of
fixed-route operated transportation means, and (iii)~in-vehicle and
in-station capacity constraints. The model is based on a
nets-within-nets approach with Petri nets as the basic building
entities. Thus, it has a convenient graphical representation, and

computation , in particular on the major bottleneck consisting in
the high dimensionality of systems of stochastic differential
balance equations (SDEs) that define the continuous passenger-flow
dynamics in the different modes of the SHA model. In fact, for every
pair of a mode and a station, one system of coupled SDEs relates the
passenger loads of all discrete points such as platforms considered
in this station, and all vehicles docked to it, to the passenger
flows in between. In general, such an SDE system has many
dimensions, which makes its numerical computation and thus the
approximate computation of the SHA model intractable. We show how
these systems can be canonically replaced by lower-dimensional ones,
by decoupling the passenger flows inside every mode from one
another. We prove that the resulting approximating passenger-flow
dynamics converges to the original one, if the replacing set of
balance equations set up for all decoupled passenger flows
communicate their results among each other in vanishing time
intervals.}

in deciding whether some fault event occurred or not in the system,

checks whether a correct diagnosis can be issued in bounded time

appeared two decades ago and numerous facets of it have been
explored, mostly for permanent faults. It is known for example that
diagnosability of a system can be checked in polynomial time, while
the construction of a diagnoser is exponential. The present paper
examines the case of transient faults, that can appear and be
repaired. Diagnosability in this setting means that the occurrence
of a fault should always be detected in bounded time, but also
before the fault is repaired. Checking this notion of diagnosability
is proved to be PSPACE-complete. It is also shown that faults can be
reliably counted provided the system is diagnosable for faults and
for repairs.}

abstraction for timed automata reduces them to (untimed) finite state

reachability. We propose a new technique to analyze such timed systems
using finite tree automata instead of finite word automata. The main idea
is to consider timed behaviors as graphs with matching edges capturing
timing constraints. Such graphs can be interpreted in trees opening the
way to tree automata based techniques which are more powerful than
analysis based on word automata. The technique is quite general and
applies to many timed systems. In this paper, as an example, we develop
the technique on timed pushdown systems, which have recently received
considerable attention. Further, we also demonstrate how we can use it on
timed automata and timed multi-stack pushdown systems (with boundedness
restrictions).}

diagnosability (\textsf{FA}, \textsf{IA}, \textsf{FF},~\textsf{IF})
in (finite) probabilistic systems (pLTS) depending whether one
considers (1)~finite or infinite runs and (2)~faulty or all runs. We
studied their relationship and established that the corresponding
decision problems are PSPACE-complete. A~key ingredient of the
decision procedures was a characterisation of diagnosability by the
fact that a random run almost surely lies in an open set whose
specification only depends on the qualitative behaviour of the pLTS.
Here we investigate similar issues for infinite pLTS. We~first show
that this characterisation still holds for
\textsf{FF}-diagnosability but with a~\(G_{\delta}\) set instead of
an open set and also for \textsf{IF}-and \textsf{IA}-diagnosability
when pLTS are finitely branching. We also prove that surprisingly
\textsf{FA}-diagnosability cannot be characterised in this way even
in the finitely branching case. Then we apply our characterisations
for a partially observable probabilistic extension of visibly
pushdown automata (POpVPA), yielding EXPSPACE procedures for solving
diagnosability problems. In~addition, we~establish some
computational lower bounds and show that slight extensions of POpVPA
lead to undecidability.}

abstract = {Conformance checking techniques asses the suitability of a
process model in representing an underlying process, observed
through a collection of real executions. These techniques suffer
from the well-known state space explosion problem, hence handling
process models exhibiting large or even infinite state spaces
remains a challenge. One important metric in conformance checking is
to asses the precision of the model with respect to the observed
executions, i.e., characterize the ability of the model to produce
behavior unrelated to the one observed. By~avoiding the computation
of the full state space of a model, current techniques only provide
estimations of the precision metric, which in some situations tend
to be very optimistic, thus hiding real problems a process model may
have. In this paper we present the notion of anti-alignment as a
concept to help unveiling traces in the model that may deviate
significantly from the observed behavior. Using anti-alignments,
current estimations can be improved, e.g., in precision checking. We
show how to express the problem of finding anti-alignments as the
satisfiability of a Boolean formula, and provide a tool which can
deal with large models efficiently.}

abstract = "In a one-counter automaton (OCA), one can read a letter
from some finite alphabet, increment and decrement the counter by
one, or test it for zero. It is well-known that universality and
language inclusion for OCAs are undecidable. We consider here OCAs
with counter visibility: Whenever the automaton produces a letter,
it outputs the current counter value along with~it. Hence, its
language is now a set of words over an infinite alphabet. We show
that universality and inclusion for that model are in PSPACE, thus
no harder than the corresponding problems for finite automata, which
can actually be considered as a special case. In fact, we show that
OCAs with counter visibility are effectively determinizable and
closed under all boolean operations. As~a~strict generalization, we
subsequently extend our model by registers. The general nonemptiness
problem being undecidable, we impose a bound on the number of
register comparisons and show that the corresponding nonemptiness
problem is NP-complete.",

encoding of a recently developed polynomial-time algorithm for
reachability in continuous Petri nets into SMT. We demonstrate the
effectiveness of our approach on standard benchmarks from the literature,
which shows that our approach decides significantly more instances than
any existing tool and is in addition often much faster, in particular on
large instances.}

abstract = {Diagnosis of partially observable stochastic systems prone to
faults was introduced in the late nineties. Diagnosability, i.e. the
existence of a diagnoser, may be specified in different ways: (1)~exact
diagnosability (called A-diagnosability) requires that almost surely a
fault is detected and that no fault is erroneously claimed while
(2)~approximate diagnosability (called \(\varepsilon\)-diagnosability)
allows a small probability of error when claiming a fault and (3)~accurate
approximate diagnosability (called AA-diagnosability) requires that this
error threshold may be chosen arbitrarily small. Here we mainly focus on
approximate diagnoses. We first refine the almost sure requirement about
finite delay introducing a uniform version and showing that while it does
not discriminate between the two versions of exact diagnosability this is
no more the case in approximate diagnosis. Then we establish a complete
picture for the decidability status of the diagnosability problems:
(uniform) \(\varepsilon\)-diagnosability and uniform AA-diagnosability are
undecidable while AA-diagnosability is decidable in PTIME, answering a
longstanding open question.}

Most of computational methods focus on finding mutations to apply to the initial state in order to control which attractor the cell will reach. However, it has been shown, and is proved in this article, that waiting between the perturbations and using the transient dynamics of the system allow new reprogramming strategies. To identify these temporal perturbations, we consider a qualitative model of regulatory networks, and rely on Petri nets to model their dynamics and the putative perturbations. Our method establishes a complete characterization of temporal perturbations, whether permanent (mutations) or only temporary, to achieve the existential or inevitable reachability of an arbitrary state of the system. We apply a prototype implementation on small models from the literature and show that we are able to derive temporal perturbations to achieve trans-differentiation.}

We propose a design scheme that avoids this latency by performing synchronization as part of state/data computations while guaranteeing that metastability is contained and its effects tolerated (with an acceptable failure probability). We present a theoretical framework for modeling synchronous state machines in the presence of metastability and use it to prove properties that guarantee some form of reliability. Specifically, we show that the inevitable state/data corruption resulting from propagating metastable states can be confined to a subset of computations. Applications that can tolerate certain failures can exploit this property to leverage low-latency and quasi-reliable operation simultaneously. We demonstrate the approach by designing a Network-on-Chip router with zero- latency asynchronous ports and show via simulation that it outperforms a variant with two flip-flop synchronizers at a negligible cost in packet transfer reliability.}

Our modified design provides suitable inputs to the recent metastability-containing sorting networks by Lenzen and Medina (ASYNC'16) and Bund et al. (DATE'17). In contrast, employing existing TDCs would require using thermometer code at the TDC output (followed by conversion to Gray code) or resolving metastability inside the TDC. The former is too restrictive w.r.t. the dynamic range of the TDCs, while the latter loses the advantage of enabling (accordingly much faster) computation without having to first resolve metastability.\par
Our all-digital designs are also of interest in their own right: they support high sample rates and large measuring ranges at nearly optimal bit-width of the output, yet maintain the original delay-line?s time resolution. No previous approach unifies all these properties in a single device.}

abstract = {In this work we study the performance of asymptotic and approximate consensus algorithms in dynamic networks. The asymptotic consensus problem requires a set of agents to repeatedly set their outputs such that the outputs converge to a common value within the convex hull of initial values. This problem, and the related approximate consensus problem, are fundamental building blocks in distributed systems where exact consensus among agents is not required, e.g., man- made distributed control systems, and have applications in the analysis of natural distributed systems, such as flocking and opinion dynamics. We prove new nontrivial lower bounds on the contraction rates of asymptotic consensus algorithms, from which we deduce lower bounds on the time complexity of approximate consensus algorithms. In particular, the obtained bounds show optimality of asymptotic and approximate consensus algorithms presented in [Charron-Bost et al., ICALP’16] for certain classes of networks that include classical failure assumptions, and confine the search for optimal bounds in the general case.
Central to our lower bound proofs is an extended notion of valency, the set of reachable limits of an asymptotic consensus algorithm starting from a given configuration. We further relate topological properties of valencies to the solvability of exact consensus, shedding some light on the relation of these three fundamental problems in dynamic networks.}

abstract = {A novel method to cluster event log traces is presented in this paper. In contrast to the approaches in the literature, the clustering approach of this paper assumes an additional input: a process model that describes the current process. The core idea of the algorithm is to use model traces as centroids of the clusters detected, computed from a generalization of the notion of alignment. This way, model explanations of observed behavior are the driving force to compute the clusters, instead of current model agnostic approaches, e.g., which group log traces merely on their vector-space similarity. We believe alignment-based trace clustering provides results more useful for stakeholders. Moreover, in case of log incompleteness, noisy logs or concept drift, they can be more robust for dealing with highly deviating traces. The technique of this paper can be combined with any clustering technique to provide model explanations to the clusters computed. The proposed technique relies on encoding the individual alignment problems into the (pseudo-)Boolean domain, and has been implemented in our tool DarkSider that uses an open-source solver.},

abstract = {Hybrid systems are a powerful formalism for modeling and reasoning about cyber-physical systems. They mix the continuous and discrete natures of the evolution of computerized systems. Switched systems are a special kind of hybrid systems, with restricted discrete behaviours: those systems only have finitely many different modes of (continuous) evolution, with isolated switches between modes. Such systems provide a good balance between expressiveness and controllability, and are thus in widespread use in large branches of industry such as power electronics and automotive control. The control law for a switched system defines the way of selecting the modes during the run of the system. Controllability is the problem of (automatically) synthesizing a control law in order to satisfy a desired property, such as safety (maintaining the variables within a given zone) or stabilisation (confinement of the variables in a close neighborhood around an objective point). In order to compute the control of a switched system, we need to compute the solutions of the differential equations governing the modes. Euler's method is the most basic technique for approximating such solutions. We present here an estimation of the Euler's method local error, using the notion of ''one-sided Lispchitz constant'' for modes. This yields a general control synthesis approach which can encompass several features such as bounded disturbance and compositionality.}

The global system is seen as an interconnection of two (or more) sub-systems where, for each component, the sub-state corresponding to the other component is seen as an ?input?; the method exploits (a variant of) the notions of incremental input-to-state stability (\(\delta\)-ISS) and ISS Lyapunov function.

abstract = {Markov Decision Processes (MDP) are a widely used model including both non-deterministic and probabilistic choices. Minimal and maximal probabilities to reach a target set of states, with respect to a policy resolving non-determinism, may be computed by several methods including value iteration. This algorithm, easy to implement and efficient in terms of space complexity, iteratively computes the probabilities of paths of increasing length. However, it raises three issues: (1) defining a stopping criterion ensuring a bound on the approximation, (2) analysing the rate of convergence, and (3) specifying an additional procedure to obtain the exact values once a sufficient number of iterations has been performed. The first two issues are still open and, for the third one, an upper bound on the number of iterations has been proposed. Based on a graph analysis and transformation of MDPs, we address these problems. First we introduce an interval iteration algorithm, for which the stopping criterion is straightforward. Then we exhibit its convergence rate. Finally we significantly improve the upper bound on the number of iterations required to get the exact values. We extend our approach to also deal with Interval Markov Decision Processes (IMDP) that can be seen as symbolic representations of MDPs.}

It is known for example that diagnosability of a system can be checked in polynomial time, while the construction of a diagnoser is exponential. The present paper examines the case of transient faults, that can appear and be repaired. Diagnosability in this setting means that the occurrence of a fault should always be detected in bounded time, but also before the fault is repaired, in order to prepare for the detection of the next fault or to take corrective measures while they are needed. Checking this notion of diagnosability is proved to be PSPACE-complete. It is also shown that faults can be reliably counted provided the system is diagnosable for faults and for repairs.}

abstract = {We consider opacity questions where an observation function provides to an external attacker a view of the states along executions and secret executions are those visiting some state from a fixed subset. Disclosure occurs when the observer can deduce from a finite observation that the execution is secret, the epsilon-disclosure variant corresponding to the execution being secret with probability greater than 1 - epsilon. In a probabilistic and non deterministic setting, where an internal agent can choose between actions, there are two points of view, depending on the status of this agent: the successive choices can either help the attacker trying to disclose the secret, if the system has been corrupted, or they can prevent disclosure as much as possible if these choices are part of the system design. In the former situation, corresponding to a worst case, the disclosure value is the supremum over the strategies of the probability to disclose the secret (maximisation), whereas in the latter case, the disclosure is the infimum (minimisation). We address quantitative problems (comparing the optimal value with a threshold) and qualitative ones (when the threshold is zero or one) related to both forms of disclosure for a fixed or finite horizon. For all problems, we characterise their decidability status and their complexity. We discover a surprising asymmetry: on the one hand optimal strategies may be chosen among deterministic ones in maximisation problems, while it is not the case for minimisation. On the other hand, for the questions addressed here, more minimisation problems than maximisation ones are decidable.}

abstract = {Memoryless determinacy of (infinite) parity games is an important result with numerous applications. It was first independently established by Emerson and Jutla [1] and Mostowski [2] but their proofs involve elaborate developments. The elegant and simpler proof of Zielonka [3] still requires a nested induction on the finite number of priorities and on ordinals for sets of vertices. There are other proofs for finite games like the one of Bj{\"o}rklund, Sandberg and Vorobyovin [4] that relies on relating infinite and finite duration games. We present here another simple proof that finite parity games are determined with memoryless strategies using induction on the number of relevant states. The closest proof that relies on induction over non absorbing states is the one of Graedel [5]. However instead of focusing on a single appropriate vertex for induction as we do here, he considers two reduced games per vertex, for all the vertices of the game. The idea of reasoning about a single state has been inspired to me by the analysis of finite stochastic priority games by Karelovic and Zielonka [6].}

We propose an algorithm for computing a finite prefix of the unfolding of a 1-safe Petri net that preserves all minimal configurations reaching this goal. Our algorithm combines the unfolding technique with on-the-fly model reduction by static analysis aiming at avoiding the exploration of branches which are not needed for reaching the goal. We present some experimental results.}

This problem is well-studied as far as finite-state processes are concerned, and it has a solution in terms of Zielonka's Theorem. We lift Zielonka's Theorem to the case where processes are recursive and modeled as visibly pushdown (or, equivalently, nested-word) automata. However, contrarily to the finite-state case, it is undecidable whether a specification is realizable or not. Therefore, we also consider suitable underapproximation techniques from the literature developed for multi-pushdown systems, and we show that they lead to a realizability framework with effective algorithms.

abstract = {Continuous Petri nets are a relaxation of classical discrete Petri nets in which transitions can be fired a fractional number of times, and consequently places may contain a fractional number of tokens. Such continuous Petri nets are an appealing object to study since they over approximate the set of reachable configurations of their discrete counterparts, and their reachability problem is known to be decidable in polynomial time. The starting point of this paper is to show that the reachability relation for continuous Petri nets is definable by a sentence of linear size in the existential theory of the rationals with addition and order. Using this characterization, we obtain decidability and complexity results for a number of classical decision problems for continuous Petri nets. In particular, we settle the open problem about the precise complexity of reachability set inclusion. Finally, we show how continuous Petri nets can be incorporated inside the classical backward coverability algorithm for discrete Petri nets as a pruning heuristic in order to tackle the symbolic state explosion problem. The cornerstone of the approach we present is that our logical characterization enables us to leverage the power of modern SMT-solvers in order to yield a highly performant and robust decision procedure for coverability in Petri nets. We demonstrate the applicability of our approach on a set of standard benchmarks from the literature.}

D-SPACES is coded as a c++11 library providing implementations for constraint systems, space functions and extrusion functions. The interfaces to access each implementation are minimal and thoroughly documented. D-SPACES also provides property-checking methods as well as an implementation of a specific type of constraint systems (a boolean algebra). This last implementation serves as an entry point for quick access and proof of concept when using these models. Furthermore, we offer an illustrative example in the form of a small social network where users post their beliefs and utter their opinions.}

abstract = {The notion of constraint system (cs) is central to declarative formalisms from concurrency theory such as process calculi for concurrent constraint programming (ccp). Constraint systems are often represented as lattices: their elements, called constraints, represent partial information and their order corresponds to entailment. Recently a notion of n-agent spatial cs was introduced to represent information in concurrent constraint programs for spatially distributed multi-agent systems. From a computational point of view a spatial constraint system can be used to specify partial information holding in a given agent's space (local information). From an epistemic point of view a spatial cs can be used to specify information that a given agent considers true (beliefs). Spatial constraint systems, however, do not provide a mechanism for specifying the mobility of information/processes from one space to another. Information mobility is a fundamental aspect of concurrent systems. In this article we develop the theory of spatial constraint systems with operators to specify information and processes moving from a space to another. We shall investigate the properties of this new family of constraint systems and illustrate their applications. From a computational point of view the new operators provide for process/information extrusion, a central concept in formalisms for mobile communication. From an epistemic point of view extrusion corresponds I to a notion we shall call utterance; a piece of information that an agent communicate to others but that may be inconsistent with the agent's beliefs. Utterances can then be used to express instances of epistemic notions such as hoaxes or intentional lies which are common place in social media. Spatial constraint system can express the epistemic notion of belief by means of space functions that specify local information. We shall also show that spatial constraint can also express the epistemic notion of knowledge by means of a derived spatial operator that specifies global information.}

In spite of its importance, the current algorithmic support for computing alignments is limited: either techniques that explicitly explore the model behavior (which may be worst-case exponential with respect to the model size), or heuristic approaches that cannot guarantee a solution, are the only alternatives. In this paper we propose a solution that sits right in the middle in the complexity spectrum of alignment techniques; it can always guarantee a solution, whose quality depends on the exploration depth used and local decisions taken at each step. We use linear algebraic techniques in combination with an iterative search which focuses on progressing towards a solution. The experiments show a clear reduction in the time required for reaching a solution, without sacrificing significantly the quality of the alignment obtained.}

Second, we provide a global picture of complexity results for the verification of diagnosability and opacity. We show that diagnosability is NL-complete for finite state systems, PSPACE-complete for safe Petri nets (even with fairness), and EXPSPACE-complete for general Petri nets without fairness, while non diagnosability is inter-reducible with reachability when fault events are not weakly fair. Opacity is ESPACE-complete for safe Petri nets (even with fairness) and undecidable for general Petri nets already without fairness.}

There is, therefore, a growing interest in the development of mechanisms to protect location privacy during the use of LBSs. Nowadays, the most popular methods are probabilistic, and the so-called optimal method achieves an optimal trade-off between privacy and utility by using linear optimization techniques. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of linear programming, the method is unfeasible for a large number n of locations, because the constraints are \(O(n^3)\). In this paper, we propose a technique to reduce the number of constraints to \(O(n^2)\), at the price of renouncing to perfect optimality. We show however that on practical situations the utility loss is quite acceptable, while the gain in performance is significant.}

They are for example used in computational systems biology, notably with parametric regulatory networks, which specify the global architecture (interactions) of the networks, while parameterising the precise rules for drawing the possible temporal evolutions of the states of the components. A key challenge is then to identify the discrete parameters corresponding to concrete models with desired dynamical properties. This paper addresses the restriction of the abstract execution of parametric regulatory (discrete) networks by the means of static analysis of reachability properties (goal states). Initially defined at the level of concrete parameterised models, the goal-oriented reduction of dynamics is lifted to parametric networks, and is proven to preserve all the minimal traces to the specified goal states. It results that one can jointly perform the refinement of parametric networks (restriction of domain of parameters) while reducing the necessary transitions to explore and preserving reachability properties of interest.}

Besides the logical rules determining the evolution of each component with respect to the state of its regulators, the scheduling of components updates can have a dramatic impact on the predicted behaviours. In this paper, we explore the use of Contextual Petri Nets (CPNs) to study dynamics of BNs with a concurrency theory perspective. After showing bi-directional translations between CPNs and BNs and analogies between results on synchronism sensitivies, we illustrate that usual updating modes for BNs can miss plausible behaviours, i.e., incorrectly conclude on the absence/impossibility of reaching specific configurations. Taking advantage of CPN semantics enabling more behaviour than the generalized asynchronous updating mode, we propose an encoding of BNs ensuring a correct abstraction of any multivalued refinement, as one may expect to achieve when modelling biological systems with no assumption on its time features.}

abstract = {We define HyPOL, a local hyper logic for partial order models, expressing properties of sets of runs. These properties depict shapes of causal dependencies in sets of partially ordered executions, with similarity relations defined as isomorphisms of past observations. Unsurprisingly, since comparison of projections are included, satisfiability of this logic is undecidable. We then address model checking of HyPOL and show that, already for safe Petri nets, the problem is undecidable. Fortunately, sensible restrictions of observations and nets allow us to bring back model checking of HyPOL to a decidable problem, namely model checking of MSO on graphs of bounded treewidth.}

abstract = {As shown in [3], the usual update modes of
Boolean networks (BNs), including synchronous and (generalized)
asynchronous, fail to capture behaviours introduced by multivalued
refinements. Thus, update modes do not allow a correct abstract
reasoning on dynamics of biological systems, as they may lead to reject
valid BN models.\par
We introduce a new semantics for interpreting BNs which meets with a
correct abstraction of any multivalued refinements, with any update
mode. This semantics subsumes all the usual updating modes, while
enabling new behaviours achievable by more concrete models. Moreover, it
appears that classical dynamical analyses of reachability and
attractors have a simpler computational complexity:
\begin{itemize}
\item reachability can be assessed in a polynomial number of iterations
(instead of being PSPACE-complete with update modes);
\item attractors are hypercubes, and deciding the existence of attractors
with a given upper-bounded dimension is in NP (instead of
PSPACE-complete with update modes).
\end{itemize}
The computation of iterations is in NP in the very general case, and is
linear when local functions are monotonic, or with some usual
representations of functions of BNs (binary decision diagrams, Petri
nets, automata networks, etc.).\par
In brief, the most permissive semantics of BNs enables a correct
abstract reasoning on dynamics of BNs, with a greater tractability than
previously introduced update modes.\par
This technical report lists the main
definitions and properties of the most permissive semantics of BNs, and
draw some remaining open questions.}

abstract = {In this work we study the performance of asymptotic and approximate consensus algorithms in dynamic networks. The asymptotic consensus problem requires a set of agents to repeatedly set their outputs such that the outputs converge to a common value within the convex hull of initial values. This problem, and the related approximate consensus problem, are fundamental building blocks in distributed systems where exact consensus among agents is not required, e.g., man-made distributed control systems, and have applications in the analysis of natural distributed systems, such as flocking and opinion dynamics. We prove new nontrivial lower bounds on the contraction rates of asymptotic consensus algorithms, from which we deduce lower bounds on the time complexity of approximate consensus algorithms. In particular, the obtained bounds show optimality of asymptotic and approximate consensus algorithms presented in [Charron-Bost et al., ICALP'16] for certain classes of networks that include classical failure assumptions, and confine the search for optimal bounds in the general case.
\par
Central to our lower bound proofs is an extended notion of valency, the set of reachable limits of an asymptotic consensus algorithm starting from a given configuration. We further relate topological properties of valencies to the solvability of exact consensus, shedding some light on the relation of these three fundamental problems in dynamic networks.}

abstract = {Diagnosis of partially observable stochastic systems prone to faults was introduced
in the late nineties. Diagnosability, i.e. the existence of a diagnoser, may be specified in different ways: exact diagnosability requires that almost surely a fault is detected and that no fault is erroneously claimed; approximate diagnosability tolerates a small error probability when claiming a fault; last, accurate approximate diagnosability guarantees that the error probability can be chosen arbitrarily small. In this article, we first refine the specification of diagnosability by identifying three criteria: (1) detecting faulty runs or providing information
for all runs (2) considering finite or infinite runs, and (3) requiring or not a uniform detection delay. We then give a complete picture of relations between the different diagnosability specifications for probabilistic systems and establish characterisations for most of them in the finite-state case. Based on these characterisations, we develop decision procedures, study their complexity and prove their optimality. We also design synthesis algorithms to construct diagnosers
and we analyse their memory requirements. Finally we establish undecidability of the diagnosability problems for which we provided no characterisation.}

abstract = {Accurate delay models are important for static and dynamic timing analysis of digital circuits, and mandatory for formal verification. However, F{\"u}gger et al. [IEEE TC 2016] proved that pure and inertial delays, which are employed for dynamic timing analysis in state-of-the-art tools like ModelSim, NC-Sim and VCS, do not yield faithful digital circuit models. Involution delays, which are based on delay functions that are mathematical involutions depending on the previous-output-to- input time offset, were introduced by F{\"u}gger et al. [DATE'15] as a faithful alternative (that can easily be used with existing tools). Although involution delays were shown to predict real signal traces reasonably accurately, any model with a deterministic delay function is naturally limited in its modeling power.
\par
In this paper, we thus extend the involution model, by adding non-deterministic delay variations (random or even adversarial), and prove analytically that faithfulness is not impaired by this generalization. Albeit the amount of non-determinism must be considerably restricted to ensure this property, the result is surprising: the involution model differs from non-faithful models mainly in handling fast glitch trains, where small delay shifts have large effects. This originally suggested that adding even small variations should break the faithfulness of the model, which turned out not to be the case. Moreover, the results of our simulations also confirm that this generalized involution model has larger modeling power and, hence, applicability.}

abstract = {In digital circuits, metastability can cause deteriorated signals that neither are logical 0 nor logical 1, breaking the abstraction of Boolean logic. Synchronizers, the only traditional countermeasure, exponentially decrease the odds of maintained metastability over time. We propose a fundamentally different approach: It is possible to deterministically contain metastability by fine-grained logical masking so that it cannot infect the entire circuit. At the heart of our approach lies a time- and value-discrete model for metastability in synchronous clocked digital circuits, in which metastability is propagated in a worst-case fashion. The proposed model permits positive results and passes the test of reproducing Marino's impossibility results. We fully classify which functions can be computed by circuits with standard registers. Regarding masking registers, we show that more functions become computable with each clock cycle, and that masking registers permit exponentially smaller circuits for some tasks. Demonstrating the applicability of our approach, we present the first fault-tolerant distributed clock synchronization algorithm that deterministically guarantees correct behavior in the presence of metastability. As a consequence, clock domains can be synchronized without using synchronizers, enabling metastability-free communication between them.}

We identify relevant parameters in a graph representation of these systems and propose a modular strategy to derive new upper bounds on the length of the transient phase.

abstract = {Naive handling of supply voltage droops in synchronous circuits results in conservative bounds on clock speeds, resulting in poor performance even if droops are rare. Adaptive strategies detect such potentially hazardous events and either initiate a rollback to a previous state or proactively reduce clock speed in order to prevent timing violations. The performance of such solutions critically depends on a very fast response to droops. However, state-of-the-art solutions incur synchronization delay to avoid that the clock signal is affected by metastability. Addressing the challenges discussed by Keith Bowman in his ASYNC 2017 keynote talk, we present an all-digital circuit that can respond to droops within a fraction of a clock cycle. This is achieved by delaying clock signals based on measurement values while they undergo synchronization simultaneously. We verify our solution by formally proving correctness, complemented by VHDL and Spice simulations of a 65 nm ASIC design confirming the theoretically obtained results.}

abstract = {The modelling of discrete regulatory networks combines a graph specifying the pairwise influences between the variables of the system, and a parametrisation from which can be derived a discrete transition system. Given the influence graph only, the exploration of admissible parametrisations and the behaviours they enable is computationally demanding due to the combinatorial explosions of both parametrisation and reachable state space. This article introduces an abstraction of the parametrisation space and its refinement to account for the existence of given transitions, and for constraints on the sign and observability of influences. The abstraction uses a convex sub-lattice containing the concrete parametrisation space specified by its infimum and supremum parametrisations. It is shown that the computed abstractions are optimal, i.e., no smaller convex sublattice exists. Although the abstraction may introduce over-approximation, it has been proven to be conservative with respect to reachability of states. Then, an unfolding semantics for Parametric Regulatory Networks is defined, taking advantage of concurrency between transitions to provide a compact representation of reachable transitions. A prototype implementation is provided: it has been applied to several examples of Boolean and multi-valued networks, showing its tractability for networks with numerous components.}

We show that diagnosability is NL-complete for finite state systems, PSPACE-complete for safe convergent Petri nets (even with fairness), and EXPSPACE-complete for general Petri nets without fairness, while non diagnosability is inter-reducible with reachability when fault events are not weakly fair. Opacity is ESPACE-complete for safe Petri nets (even with fairness) and undecidable for general Petri nets already without fairness.}

It is then expected that Boolean networks produce an over-approximation of behaviours (reachable configurations), and that subsequent refinements would only prune some impossible transitions. However, we show that even generalized asynchronous updating of Boolean networks, which subsumes the usual updating modes including synchronous and fully asynchronous, does not capture all transitions doable in a multi-valued or timed refinement. We define a structural model transformation which takes a Boolean network as input and outputs a new Boolean network whose asynchronous updating simulates both synchronous and asynchronous updating of the original network, and exhibits even more behaviours than the generalized asynchronous updating. We argue that these new behaviours should not be ignored when analyzing Boolean networks, unless some knowledge about the characteristics of the system explicitly allows one to restrict its behaviour.}

an asset to reduce the computational complexity involved in solving a
series of problems, such as control, state estimation, fault diagnosis, etc.
Many of those problems require an analysis of the reachability graph
of the Petri net. The basis reachability graph is a condensed version of
the reachability graph that was introduced to efficiently solve problems
linked to partial observation. It was in particular used for diagnosis which
consists in deciding whether some fault events occurred or not in the
system, given partial observations on the run of the system. However
this method is, with very specific exceptions, limited to bounded Petri
nets. In this paper, we introduce the notion of basis coverability graph
to remove this requirement. We then establish the relationship between
the coverability graph and the basis coverability graph. Finally, we focus
on the diagnosability problem: we show how the basis coverability graph
can be used to get an efficient algorithm.}

In this paper, we propose an approach based on assume-guarantee contracts and compositional reasoning for verifying invariance properties of a broad class of discrete-time and continuous-time systems consisting of interconnected components. The notion of assume- guarantee contracts makes it possible to divide responsibil- ities among the system components: a contract specifies an invariance property that a component must fulfill under some assumptions on the behavior of its environment (i.e. of the other components). We define weak and strong semantics of assume- guarantee contracts for both discrete-time and continuous-time systems. We then establish a certain number of results for compositional reasoning, which allow us to show that a global invariance property of the whole system is satisfied when all components satisfy their own contract. Interestingly, we show that the weak satisfaction of the contract is sufficient to deal with cascade compositions, while strong satisfaction is needed to reason about feedback composition. Specific results for systems described by differential inclusions are then developed. Throughout the paper, the main results are illustrated using simple examples.}

abstract = {Defining formalisms and models in a modular way is a painful task. Metamodeling tools and languages have usually not been created with this goal in mind. This article proposes a data structure, called layered data, that allows defining easily modular abstract syntax for for- malisms and models. It also shows its use through an exhaustive example. As a side effect, this article discusses the notion of formalism, and asserts that they do not exist as standalone objects, but rather as relations between models.}

abstract = {A novel algorithm for the control synthesis for nonlinear switched systems is presented in this paper. Based on an existing procedure of state-space bisection and made available for nonlinear systems with the help of guaranteed integration, the algorithm has been improved to be able to consider longer patterns of modes with a better pruning approach. Moreover, the use of guaranteed integration also permits to take bounded perturbations and varying parameters into account. It is particularly interesting for safety critical applications, such as in aeronautical, military or medical fields. The whole approach is entirely guaranteed and the induced controllers are correct-by-design. Some experimentations are performed to show the important gain of the new algorithm.}

abstract = {Memoryless determinacy of (infinite) parity games is an important result with numerous applications. It was first independently established by Emerson and Jutla [1] and Mostowski [2] but their proofs involve elaborate developments. The elegant and simpler proof of Zielonka [3] still requires a nested induction on the finite number of priorities and on ordinals for sets of vertices. There are other proofs for finite games like the one of Björklund, Sandberg and Vorobyovin [4] that relies on relating infinite and finite duration games. We present here another simple proof that finite parity games are determined with memoryless strategies using induction on the number of relevant states. The closest proof that relies on induction over non absorbing states is the one of Grädel [5]. However instead of focusing on a single appropriate vertex for induction as we do here, he considers two reduced games per vertex, for all the vertices of the game. The idea of reasoning about a single state has been inspired to me by the analysis of finite stochastic priority games by Karelovic and Zielonka [6].}

Building on this pomset bisimulation we then propose a generalization of the standard finite complete prefixes of unfolding to the class of safe reset Petri nets.}

abstract = {We address the sequential reprogramming of gene regulatory networks modelled as Boolean networks. We develop an attractor-based sequential reprogramming method to compute all sequential reprogramming paths from a source attractor to a target attractor, where only attractors of the network are used as intermediates. Our method is more practical than existing reprogramming methods as it incorporates several practical constraints: (1) only biologically observable states, viz. attractors, can act as intermediates; (2) certain attractors, such as apoptosis, can be avoided as intermediates; (3) certain nodes can be avoided to perturb as they may be essential for cell survival or difficult to perturb with biomolecular techniques; and (4) given a threshold \(k\), all sequential reprogramming paths with no more than \(k\) perturbations are computed. We compare our method with the minimal one-step reprogramming and the minimal sequential reprogramming on a variety of biological networks. The results show that our method can greatly reduce the number of perturbations compared to the one-step reprogramming, while having comparable results with the minimal sequential reprogramming. Moreover, our implementation is scalable for networks of more than 60 nodes.}

abstract = {CSLTA is a stochastic temporal logic for continuous-time Markov chains (CTMC) where formulas similarly to those of CTL* are inductively defined by nesting of timed path formulas and state formulas. In particular a timed path formula of CSLTA is specified by a single-clock Deterministic Timed Automaton (DTA). Such a DTA features two kinds of transitions: synchronizing transitions triggered by CTMC transitions and autonomous transitions triggered by time elapsing that change the location of the DTA when the clock reaches a given threshold. It has already been shown that CSLTA strictly includes stochastic logics like CSL and asCSL. An interesting variant of CSLTA consists in equipping transitions rather than locations by boolean formulas. Here we answer the following question: do autonomous transitions and/or boolean guards on transitions enhance expressiveness and/or conciseness of DTAs? We show that this is indeed the case. In establishing our main results we also identify an accurate syntactical characterization of DTAs for which the autonomous transitions do not add expressive power but lead to exponentially more concise DTAs.}

abstract = {Boolean networks (BNs) are widely used to model the qualitative dynamics
of biological systems. Besides the logical rules determining the evolution of each
component with respect to the state of its regulators, the scheduling of component
updates can have a dramatic impact on the predicted behaviours. In this paper, we
explore the use of Read (contextual) Petri Nets (RPNs) to study dynamics of BNs from
a concurrency theory perspective. After showing bi-directional translations between
RPNs and BNs and analogies between results on synchronism sensitivity, we illustrate
that usual updating modes for BNs can miss plausible behaviours, i.e., incorrectly
conclude on the absence/impossibility of reaching specific configurations. We propose
an encoding of BNs capitalizing on the RPN semantics enabling more behaviour than the
generalized asynchronous updating mode. The proposed encoding ensures a correct
abstraction of any multivalued refinement, as one may expect to achieve when modelling
biological systems with no assumption on its time features.}

abstract = {Process mining techniques use event logs containing real process executions in order to mine, align and extend process models. The partition of an event log into trace variants facilitates the understanding and analysis of traces, so it is a common pre-processing in process mining environments. Trace clustering automates this partition; traditionally it has been applied without taking into consideration the availability of a process model. In this paper we extend our previous work on process model based trace clustering, by allowing cluster centroids to have a complex structure, that can range from a partial order, down to a subnet of the initial process model. This way, the new clustering framework presented in this paper is able to cluster together traces that are distant only due to concurrency or loop constructs in process models. We show the complexity analysis of the different instantiations of the trace clustering framework, and have implemented it in a prototype tool that has been tested on different datasets.}

abstract = {Delay estimation is a crucial task in digital circuit design as it provides the possibility to assure the desired functionality, but also prevents undesired behavior very early. For this purpose elaborate delay models like the Degradation Delay Model (DDM) and the Involution Delay Model (IDM) have been proposed in the past, which facilitate accurate dynamic timing analysis: Both use delay functions that determine the delay of the current input transition based on the time difference T to the previous output one. Currently, however, extensive analog simulations are necessary to determine the (parameters of the) delay function, which is a very time-consuming and cumbersome task and thus limits the applicability of these models. In this paper, we therefore thoroughly investigate the characterization procedures of a CMOS inverter on the transistor level in order to derive analytical expressions for the delay functions. Based on reasonably simple transistor models we identify three operation regions, each described by a different estimation function. Using simulations with two independent technologies, we show that our predictions are not only accurate but also reasonably robust w.r.t. variations. Our results furthermore indicate that the exponential fitting proposed for DDM is actually only partially valid, while our analytic approach can be applied on the whole range. Even the more complex IDM is predicted reasonably accurate.}
