Reachability in networks of register protocols under stochastic schedulers

P Bouyer, N Markey, M Randour, A Sangnier… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2016 - arxiv.org
We study the almost-sure reachability problem in a distributed system obtained as the
asynchronous composition of N copies (called processes) of the same automaton (called …

Parameterized broadcast networks with registers: from NP to the frontiers of decidability

L Guillou, C Mascle, N Waldburger - International Conference on …, 2024 - Springer
We consider the parameterized verification of networks of agents which communicate
through unreliable broadcasts. In this model, agents have local registers whose values are …

Parameterized verification of systems with global synchronization and guards

N Jaber, S Jacobs, C Wagner, M Kulkarni… - … on Computer Aided …, 2020 - Springer
Inspired by distributed applications that use consensus or other agreement protocols for
global coordination, we define a new computational model for parameterized systems that is …

Playing with probabilities in reconfigurable broadcast networks

N Bertrand, P Fournier, A Sangnier - … , FOSSACS 2014, Held as Part of the …, 2014 - Springer
We study verification problems for a model of network with the following characteristics: the
number of entities is parametric, communication is performed through broadcast with …

Modeling and efficient verification of wireless ad hoc networks

B Yousefi, F Ghassemi, R Khosravi - Formal Aspects of Computing, 2017 - Springer
Wireless ad hoc networks, in particular mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), are growing very
fast as they make communication easier and more available. However, their protocols tend …

The complexity of verifying population protocols

J Esparza, S Jaax, M Raskin, C Weil-Kennedy - Distributed Computing, 2021 - Springer
Population protocols (Angluin et al. in PODC, 2004) are a model of distributed computation
in which indistinguishable, finite-state agents interact in pairs to decide if their initial …

Model checking paxos in spin

G Delzanno, M Tatarek, R Traverso - arxiv preprint arxiv:1408.5962, 2014 - arxiv.org
We present a formal model of a distributed consensus algorithm in the executable
specification language Promela extended with a new type of guards, called counting guards …

Complexity of verification and synthesis of threshold automata

AR Balasubramanian, J Esparza, M Lazić - International Symposium on …, 2020 - Springer
Threshold automata are a formalism for modeling and analyzing fault-tolerant distributed
algorithms, recently introduced by Konnov, Veith, and Widder, describing protocols executed …

Safety analysis of parameterised networks with non-blocking rendez-vous

L Guillou, A Sangnier, N Sznajder - arxiv preprint arxiv:2307.04546, 2023 - arxiv.org
We consider networks of processes that all execute the same finite-state protocol and
communicate via a rendez-vous mechanism. When a process requests a rendez-vous …
