Precise parameter synthesis for stochastic biochemical systems

M Češka, F Dannenberg, N Paoletti, M Kwiatkowska… - Acta Informatica, 2017 - Springer
We consider the problem of synthesising rate parameters for stochastic biochemical
networks so that a given time-bounded CSL property is guaranteed to hold, or, in the case of …

Formal verification with confidence intervals to establish quality of service properties of software systems

R Calinescu, C Ghezzi, K Johnson… - IEEE transactions on …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Formal verification is used to establish the compliance of software and hardware systems
with important classes of requirements. System compliance with functional requirements is …

[HTML][HTML] Efficient synthesis of robust models for stochastic systems

R Calinescu, M Češka, S Gerasimou… - Journal of Systems and …, 2018 - Elsevier
We describe a tool-supported method for the efficient synthesis of parametric continuous-
time Markov chains (pCTMC) that correspond to robust designs of a system under …

Parameter Synthesis for Markov Models: Covering the Parameter Space

S Junges, E Ábrahám, C Hensel, N Jansen… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
Markov chain analysis is a key technique in formal verification. A practical obstacle is that all
probabilities in Markov models need to be known. However, system quantities such as …

[HTML][HTML] Sampling-based verification of ctmcs with uncertain rates

TS Badings, N Jansen, S Junges, M Stoelinga… - … on Computer Aided …, 2022 - Springer
We employ uncertain parametric CTMCs with parametric transition rates and a prior on the
parameter values. The prior encodes uncertainty about the actual transition rates, while the …

L Bortolussi, S Silvetti - Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and …, 2018 - Springer
Parameterized verification of temporal properties is an active research area, being extremely
relevant for model-based design of complex systems. In this paper, we focus on parameter …

Conformal quantitative predictive monitoring of stl requirements for stochastic processes

F Cairoli, N Paoletti, L Bortolussi - Proceedings of the 26th ACM …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
We consider the problem of predictive monitoring (PM), ie, predicting at runtime the
satisfaction of a desired property from the current system's state. Due to its relevance for …
