Paper in Acta Informatica
The paper entitled “On the Hardness of Analyzing Probabilistic Programs” by Benjamin Kaminski, Joost-Pieter Katoen, and Christoph Matheja has been accepted for publication in the journal Acta Informatica. The papers presents various hardness results for elementary decision problems on probabilistic programs such as “does a program terminate almost surely?”, “does it terminate in finite expected […]
Paper in Journal of the ACM
The paper entitled “Weakest Precondition Reasoning for Expected Runtimes of Randomized Algorithms” by Benjamin Kaminski, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Christoph Matheja and Federico Olmedo has been accepted for the prestigious journal Journal of the ACM. This paper presents a wp–style calculus for obtaining bounds on the expected run time of randomized algorithms.Its application includes determining the (possibly […]

Paper accepted at Petri Nets 2018
The paper “One Nets Fits All — A unifying semantics of Dynamic Fault Trees using GSPNs” by Sebastian Junges, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Marielle Stoelinga and Matthias Volk has been accepted for Petri Nets 2018. The paper presents a simple, compositional GSPN semantics for DFTs that unifies all existing DFT semantics from the literature.
Paper accepted at TACAS 2018
The paper “Multi-Cost Bounded Reachability in MDPs” by Arnd Hartmanns, Sebastian Junges, Joost-Pieter Katoen and Tim Quatmann has been accepted for TACAS 2018. The paper presents an efficient algorithm for multi-objective model checking problems on Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple cost structures.
Paper accepted at ESOP 2018
The paper “How long, O Bayesian network, will I sample thee?” by Kevin Batz, Benjamin Kaminski, Joost-Pieter Katoen and Christoph Matheja has been accepted at the European Symposium on Programming (ESOP 18). The paper shows how to use deductive program verification to deduce the expected time to obtain a single i.i.d-sample from a Bayesian network […]
