We address the problem of partial control in the synthesis of test cases from timed-automata specifications. We extend a previous approach to this problem from the untimed to the timed setting. This extension requires a deep reworking of the models, game interpretation and test-synthesis algorithms. We exhibit strategies of a game that try to minimize both cooperations of the system and distance to the satisfaction of a test purpose or to the next cooperation, and prove they are winning under some fairness assumptions. This entails that when turning those strategies into test cases, we get properties such as soundness and exhaustiveness of the test synthesis method. We finally propose a symbolic algorithm to compute those strategies.}, } |

Reachability games with relaxed energy constraints.
Information and Computation 285 (Part B).
Elsevier, May 2022.
@article{icomp2022-HMR, author = {H{\'e}lou{\"e}t, Lo{\"\i}c and Markey, Nicolas and Raha, Ritam}, title = {Reachability games with relaxed energy constraints}, publisher = {Elsevier}, journal = {Information and Computation}, volume = {285~(Part~B)}, year = {2022}, month = may, doi = {10.1016/j.ic.2021.104806}, abstract = {We study games with reachability objectives under energy constraints. We first prove that under strict energy constraints (either only lower-bound constraint or interval constraint), those games are LOGSPACE-equivalent to energy games with the same energy constraints but without reachability objective (i.e., for infinite runs). We then consider two relaxations of the upper-bound constraints (while keeping the lower-bound constraint strict): in the first one, called weak upper bound, the upper bound is absorbing, i.e., when the upper bound is reached, the extra energy is not stored; in the second one, we allow for temporary violations of the upper bound, imposing limits on the number or on the amount of violations. \par We prove that when considering weak upper bound, reachability objectives require memory, but can still be solved in polynomial-time for one-player arenas; we prove that they are in NP in the two-player setting. Allowing for bounded violations makes the problem PSPACE-complete for one-player arenas and EXPTIME-complete for two players. We then address the problem of existence of bounds for a given arena. We show that with reachability objectives, existence can be a simpler problem than the game itself, and conversely that with infinite games, existence can be harder.}, } |

Motivated by an asynchronous binary consensus algorithm~of [J.~Aspnes; Fast deterministic consensus in a noisy environment; J.~Algorithms,~2002], we~consider round-based distributed algorithms communicating with shared memory. A~particular challenge in these systems is that 1)~the~number of processes is unbounded, and, more importantly, 2)~there is a fresh set of registers at each round. A~verification algorithm thus needs to manage both sources of infinity. In~this setting, we~prove that the safety verification problem, which consists in deciding whether all possible executions avoid a given error state, is PSPACE-complete. For~negative instances of the safety verification problem, we~also provide exponential lower and upper bounds on the minimal number of processes needed for an error execution and on the minimal round on which the error state can be covered.}, } |

In~short, a chronicle consists of a set of events and a set of real-valued temporal constraints on the delays between pairs of events. This~work investigates the relationship between chronicles and classical temporal model formalisms, namely \textsf{TPTL} and~\textsf{MTL}. More~specifically, we~answer the following question: is~it possible to find an equivalent formula in such formalisms for any chronicle? This~question arises from the observation that a single chronicle captures complex temporal behaviours that do not order the events in time.\par In~this article, we~introduce the subclass of linear chronicles, which defines a temporal order of occurrence of the event to be recognized in a temporal sequence. Our~first result is that any chronicle can be expressed as a disjunction of linear chronicles. Our~second result is that any linear chronicle has an equivalent \textsf{TPTL} formula. Using existing expressiveness results between \textsf{TPTL} and~\textsf{MTL}, we~show that some chronicles have no equivalent in~\textsf{MTL}. This confirms that the model of chronicle has interesting properties for situation recognition.}, } |

Network congestion games have been extensively studied over the last 40 years, while their extension with timing constraints were considered more recently. \par Most of the results on network congestion games consider blind strategies: they are static, and do not adapt to the strategies selected by the other players. We extend the recent results of [Bertrand~\textit{et~al.}, Dynamic network congestion games. FSTTCS'20] to timed network congestion games, in which the availability of the edges depend on (discrete) time. We prove that computing Nash equilibria satisfying some constraint on the total cost (and in particular, computing the best and worst Nash equilibria), and computing the social optimum, can be achieved in exponential space. The social optimum can be computed in polynomial space if all players have the same source and target.}, } |
