Knowledge Compilation for Quantification in Alternating Automata

S. Akshay, Alfredo Cantarella, Supratik Chakraborty +2

We present a knowledge compilation approach for existential and universal quantification in alternating automata. Knowledge compilation transforms formulas into normal forms with s…

Universal Safety Controllers with Learned Prophecies

Bernd Finkbeiner, Niklas Metzger, Satya Prakash Nayak +1

\emph{Universal Safety Controllers (USCs)} are a promising logical control framework that guarantees the satisfaction of a given temporal safety specification when applied to any r…

Synthesis of Universal Safety Controllers

Bernd Finkbeiner, Niklas Metzger, Satya Prakash Nayak +1

The goal of logical controller synthesis is to automatically compute a control strategy that regulates the discrete, event-driven behavior of a given plant s.t. a temporal logic sp…

Information Flow Guided Synthesis with Unbounded Communication

Bernd Finkbeiner, Niklas Metzger, Yoram Moses

Information flow guided synthesis is a compositional approach to the automated construction of distributed systems where the assumptions between the components are captured as info…

Synthesis of Temporal Causality

Bernd Finkbeiner, Hadar Frenkel, Niklas Metzger +1

We present an automata-based algorithm to synthesize omega-regular causes for omega-regular effects on executions of a reactive system, such as counterexamples uncovered by a model…

Monitoring Second-Order Hyperproperties

Raven Beutner, Bernd Finkbeiner, Hadar Frenkel +1

Hyperproperties express the relationship between multiple executions of a system. This is needed in many AI-related fields, such as knowledge representation and planning, to captur…

Second-Order Hyperproperties

Raven Beutner, Bernd Finkbeiner, Hadar Frenkel +1

We introduce HyperLTL, a temporal logic for the specification of hyperproperties that allows for second-order quantification over sets of traces. Unlike first-order temporal lo…

Explaining Hyperproperty Violations

Norine Coenen, Raimund Dachselt, Bernd Finkbeiner +5

Hyperproperties relate multiple computation traces to each other. Model checkers for hyperproperties thus return, in case a system model violates the specification, a set of traces…

Information Flow Guided Synthesis (Full Version)

Bernd Finkbeiner, Niklas Metzger, Yoram Moses

Compositional synthesis relies on the discovery of assumptions, i.e., restrictions on the behavior of the remainder of the system that allow a component to realize its specificatio…

Live Synthesis

Bernd Finkbeiner, Felix Klein, Niklas Metzger

Synthesis automatically constructs an implementation that satisfies a given logical specification. In this paper, we study the live synthesis problem, where the synthesized impleme…

Efficient Trace Encodings of Bounded Synthesis for Asynchronous Distributed Systems

Jesko Hecking-Harbusch, Niklas O. Metzger

The manual implementation of distributed systems is an error-prone task because of the asynchronous interplay of components and the environment. Bounded synthesis automatically gen…
