A Decision Procedure for Detecting Atomicity Violations for Communicating Processes with Locks
Abstract. We present a new decision procedure for detecting property violations in pushdown models for concurrent programs that use lock-based synchronization, where each thread’...

Empirical Asymmetric Selective Transfer in Multi-objective Decision Trees
We consider learning tasks where multiple target variables need to be predicted. Two approaches have been used in this setting: (a) build a separate single-target model for each ta...

Pure Stationary Optimal Strategies in Markov Decision Processes
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are controllable discrete event systems with stochastic transitions. Performances of an MDP are evaluated by a payoff function. The controller of ...

Safraless Decision Procedures
The automata-theoretic approach is one of the most fundamental approaches to developing decision procedures in mathematical logics. To decide whether a formula in a logic with the...
