One-counter automata are a fundamental and widely-studied class of infinite-state systems. In this paper we consider one-counter automata with counter updates encoded in binary—...
Bisimulation equivalence is decidable in polynomial time for both sequential and commutative normed context-free processes, known as BPA and BPP, respectively. Despite apparent sim...
We present a new algorithm for computing the winning region of a parity game played over the configuration graph of a pushdown system. Our method gives the first extension of the...
Abstract. We study bisimulation and minimization for weighted automata, relying on a geometrical representation of the model, linear weighted automata (lwa). In a lwa, the state-sp...
Abstract. We introduce model-checking games that allow local secondorder power on sets of independent transitions in the underlying partial order models where the games are played....
Abstract. We present an encoding for (bound) processes of the asynchronous CCS with replication into open Petri nets: ordinary Petri nets equipped with a distinguished set of open ...
We propose how to present and compute a counterexample in probabilistic LTL model checking for discrete-time Markov chains. In qualitative probabilistic model checking, we present ...
Theories identifying well-formed systems of processes—those that are free of communication errors and enjoy strong properties such as deadlock freedom—are based either on sessi...
