[HTML][HTML] Smoothed model checking for uncertain continuous-time Markov chains

L Bortolussi, D Milios, G Sanguinetti - Information and Computation, 2016 - Elsevier
We consider the problem of computing the satisfaction probability of a formula for stochastic
models with parametric uncertainty. We show that this satisfaction probability is a smooth …

Moving from specifications to contracts in component-based design

SS Bauer, A David, R Hennicker… - … 2012, Held as Part of the …, 2012 - Springer
We study the relation between specifications of component behaviors and contracts

Approximate verification of the symbolic dynamics of Markov chains

M Agrawal, S Akshay, B Genest… - Journal of the ACM …, 2015 - dl.acm.org
A finite-state Markov chain M can be regarded as a linear transform operating on the set of
probability distributions over its node set. The iterative applications of M to an initial …

On the complexity of model checking interval-valued discrete time Markov chains

T Chen, T Han, M Kwiatkowska - Information Processing Letters, 2013 - Elsevier
We investigate the complexity of model checking (finite) interval-valued discrete time Markov
chains, that is, discrete time Markov chains where each transition is associated with an …

Parameter synthesis for parametric interval Markov chains

B Delahaye, D Lime, L Petrucci - … , VMCAI 2016, St. Petersburg, FL, USA …, 2016 - Springer
Abstract Interval Markov Chains (IMCs) are the base of a classic probabilistic specification
theory introduced by Larsen and Jonsson in 1991. They are also a popular abstraction for …

[HTML][HTML] Maximizing entropy over Markov processes

F Biondi, A Legay, BF Nielsen, A Wąsowski - Journal of Logical and …, 2014 - Elsevier
The channel capacity of a deterministic system with confidential data is an upper bound on
the amount of bits of data an attacker can learn from the system. We encode all possible …
