Graph games and reactive synthesis

R Bloem, K Chatterjee, B Jobstmann - Handbook of model checking, 2018 - Springer
Graph-based games are an important tool in computer science. They have applications in
synthesis, verification, refinement, and far beyond. We review graph-based games with …

Automatic verification of competitive stochastic systems

T Chen, V Forejt, M Kwiatkowska, D Parker… - Formal Methods in …, 2013 - Springer
We present automatic verification techniques for the modelling and analysis of probabilistic
systems that incorporate competitive behaviour. These systems are modelled as turn-based …

Verification and control of partially observable probabilistic systems

G Norman, D Parker, X Zou - Real-Time Systems, 2017 - Springer
We present automated techniques for the verification and control of partially observable,
probabilistic systems for both discrete and dense models of time. For the discrete-time case …

Quantitative analysis of smart contracts

[HTML][HTML] What is decidable about partially observable Markov decision processes with ω-regular objectives

K Chatterjee, M Chmelik, M Tracol - Journal of Computer and System …, 2016 - Elsevier
We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) with ω-regular
conditions specified as parity objectives. The class of ω-regular languages provides a robust …

Parameter Synthesis for Markov Models: Covering the Parameter Space

S Junges, E Ábrahám, C Hensel, N Jansen… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
Markov chain analysis is a key technique in formal verification. A practical obstacle is that all
probabilities in Markov models need to be known. However, system quantities such as …

Verification of indefinite-horizon POMDPs

A Bork, S Junges, JP Katoen, T Quatmann - International Symposium on …, 2020 - Springer
The verification problem in MDPs asks whether, for any policy resolving the nondeterminism,
the probability that something bad happens is bounded by some given threshold. This …
