Decisive Markov Chains

Parosh Aziz Abdulla ; Noomene Ben Henda ; Richard Mayr.

We consider qualitative and quantitative verification problems for infinite-state Markov chains. We call a Markov chain decisive w.r.t. a given set of target states F if it almost certainly eventually reaches either F or a state from which F can no longer be reached. While all finite Markov chains&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Sampled Semantics of Timed Automata

Pavel Krcal ; Parosh Aziz Abdulla ; Wang Yi.

Sampled semantics of timed automata is a finite approximation of their dense time behavior. While the former is closer to the actual software or hardware systems with a fixed granularity of time, the abstract character of the latter makes it appealing for system modeling and verification. We study&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Priced Timed Petri Nets

Richard M. Mayr ; Parosh Aziz Abdulla.

We consider priced timed Petri nets, i.e., unbounded Petri nets where each token carries a real-valued clock. Transition arcs are labeled with time intervals, which specify constraints on the ages of tokens. Furthermore, our cost model assigns token storage costs per time unit to places, and firing&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Stochastic Parity Games on Lossy Channel Systems

Parosh Aziz Abdulla ; Lorenzo Clemente ; Richard Mayr ; Sven Sandberg.

We give an algorithm for solving stochastic parity games with almost-sure winning conditions on {\it lossy channel systems}, under the constraint that both players are restricted to finite-memory strategies. First, we describe a general framework, where we consider the class of 2 1/2-player games&nbsp;[&hellip;]

A Load-Buffer Semantics for Total Store Ordering

Parosh Aziz Abdulla ; Mohamed Faouzi Atig ; Ahmed Bouajjani ; Tuan Phong Ngo.

We address the problem of verifying safety properties of concurrent programs running over the Total Store Order (TSO) memory model. Known decision procedures for this model are based on complex encodings of store buffers as lossy channels. These procedures assume that the number of processes is&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Mending Fences with Self-Invalidation and Self-Downgrade

Parosh Aziz Abdulla ; Mohamed Faouzi Atig ; Stefanos Kaxiras ; Carl Leonardsson ; Alberto Ros ; Yunyun Zhu.

Cache coherence protocols based on self-invalidation and self-downgrade have recently seen increased popularity due to their simplicity, potential performance efficiency, and low energy consumption. However, such protocols result in memory instruction reordering, thus causing extra program behaviors&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Dense-Timed Petri Nets: Checking Zenoness, Token liveness and Boundedness

Parosh Abdulla ; Pritha Mahata ; Richard Mayr.

We consider Dense-Timed Petri Nets (TPN), an extension of Petri nets in which each token is equipped with a real-valued clock and where the semantics is lazy (i.e., enabled transitions need not fire; time can pass and disable transitions). We consider the following verification problems for TPNs.&nbsp;[&hellip;]
