Katoen receives ERC Advanced Grant
Joost-Pieter Katoen is awarded the prestigious ERC Advanced Grant from the European Research Council. It will allow to fund a project on formal reasoning techniques for probabilistic programs over a period of five years. ERC Advanced Grants are intended to support the very best research to be conducted in EU member states and associated countries. […]
Four Papers at CAV 2018
Four papers with involvement of the MOVES group have been accepted at CAV 2018: “Sound Value Iteration” by Tim Quatmann and Joost-Pieter Katoen “Let this Graph be your Witness! An Attestor for Verifying Java Pointer Programs” by Hannah Arndt, Christina Jansen, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Christoph Matheja and Thomas Noll “Monitoring CTMCs By Multi-Clock Timed Automata” by […]
Paper accepted at DSN 2018
The paper “Branching Bisimulation and Concurrent Object Verification” by Xiaoxiao Yang, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Huimin Lin, Gaoang Liu, and Hao Wu has been accepted for the 48th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN 2018) in Luxemburg. The paper, a result of the cooperation within the CDZ project CAP with the Institute of Software, […]
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 […]

The program includes invited talks by the renowned researchers Prof. Marta Kwiatkowska (University of Oxford) and Prof. Rolf Möhring (TU Berlin), two-minutes talks by the UnRAVeL […]
Young Researcher Award for Sebastian Junges
Sebastian Junges today received the Young Research Award, a prize for excellent young researchers (students and Ph.D. students) in the ICT field, awarded by the ICT Profile Area of RWTH Aachen University. The prize comes with a financial support for Sebastian’s career.
Christina Jansen defended her PhD dissertation
Thursday October 19, Christina Jansen successfully defended her PhD dissertation, entitled “Static Analysis of Pointer Programs: Linking Graph Grammars and Separation Logic” for a jury consisting of Marieke Huisman (University of Twente, NL), Gerhard Woeginger, Horst Lichter, Thomas Noll, and Joost-Pieter Katoen (all Aachen). Christina’s dissertation is concerned with establishing a connection between data structure […]
DFG Grant for ATTESTOR Project
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved to extend the funding period of the ATTESTOR project for another two-year period. The aim of the follow-up project is to develop novel techniques and tools to support formal reasoning on relational shape properties of (concurrent) pointer programs, allowing e.g. to reason about balanced tree data structures. The […]
