Paper accepted in Information & Computation
The paper “Quantitative Model Checking of Discrete-Time Markov Processes” by Ilya Tkachev, Alexandru Mereacre, Joost-Pieter Katoen, and Alessandro Abate has been accepted for publication in Information and Computation. The almost 50-page paper focuses on optimizing (repeated) reachability probabilities of events of interest defined over general controlled discrete-time Markov processes. Unlike known results over finite-state models, […]
CAV Award 2016
Dino Distefano (FaceBook and Queen Mary University) received the CAV Award 2016, together with his co-workers, for their work on Separation Logic and demonstrating its applicability on the automated verification of dynamic data structures. Dino is the first Ph.D. student of Joost-Pieter Katoen, who supervised him together with Arend Rensink (Twente).
Paper accepted at SETTA’16
The paper “Performance Evaluation on Modern Concurrent Data Structures” by Hao Wu, Xiaoxiao Yang and Joost-Pieter Katoen has been accepted at SETTA 2016 in Beijing. The paper considers the modelling of several concurrent data structures in LOTOS-NT and evaluates their performance by model-based analysis.
AADL Standards Meeting
From July 25 to 28, our group hosts the Summer meeting of the AADL Standardization Committee. The Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL) is a modeling language for the specification, analysis, automated integration and code generation of safety-critical systems. Amongst others, it is being used in our COMPASS project for designing on-board computer-based aerospace systems.
Paper accepted at SRDS
The paper “Model-Checking Assisted Protocol Design for Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Wireless Networks” by Christian Dombrowski, Sebastian Junges, Joost-Pieter Katoen and James Gross has been accepted at SRDS 2016 in Budapest, Hungary. It presents the modelling and verification of EchoRing, a protocol for the MAC-layer tailored towards ultra-reliable wireless communication. The verification process uncovered some inconsistencies in the protocol, and […]
Two papers accepted at ATVA
Two new papers have been accepted at ATVA 2016 in Chiba, Japan. The paper “Bounded Model Checking for Probabilistic Program” by Nils Jansen, Christian Dehnert, Benjamin Lucien Kaminski, Joost-Pieter Katoen, and Lukas Westhofen describes an automated on-the-fly verification approach for probabilistic programs. It incorporates key features such as conditioning and parametric probabilities. Experiments show the feasibility […]
LICS 2016 invited talk
Joost-Pieter Katoen will give an invited talk on “The Probabilistic Model Checking Landscape” at LICS 2016 in New York City, early July 2016. The accompanying paper can be found here.
Paper accepted at QEST 2016
The paper “Inferring Covariances for Probabilistic Programs” by Benjamin Kaminski, Joost-Pieter Katoen and Christoph Matheja has been accepted at the Int. Conf. on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems (QEST) in Quebec City, Canada. The paper shows that approximating (co)variances is computationally more difficult than approximating expected values and presents invariant-based techniques for approximating both upper and […]
Two papers accepted at SAFECOMP 2016
Two new papers have been accepted at SAFECOMP 2016 in Trondheim, Norway. The paper “Advancing Dynamic Fault Tree Analysis” by Matthias Volk, Sebastian Junges, and Joost-Pieter Katoen presents a mixture of a new state-space generation technique together with several reduction techniques for dynamic fault trees. Experiments results show improvements of up to five orders of […]
Paper accepted in ACM TECS; best paper at IDEA 2016
The paper “Probabilistic Model Checking for Uncertain Scenario-Aware Data Flow” by Joost-Pieter Katoen and Hao Wu has been accepted for publication in the journal ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems. A short version thereof received the best paper award at the IDEA Workshop during the CPS week 2016. Based on a compositional semantics of exponentially-timed S(A)DF […]
