Gossip protocols have been proposed as a robust and efficient method for disseminating information throughout dynamically changing networks. We present an analysis of a gossip pro...
In this paper, we describe the dual-processor parallelisation of a symbolic (BDD-based) implementation of probabilistic model checking. We use multi-terminal BDDs, which allow a c...

Abstract. Probabilistic model checking is a formal verification technique that has been successfully applied to the analysis of systems from a broad range of domains, including sec...

Model checking can tell us whether a system is correct; probabilistic model checking can also tell us whether a system is timely and reliable. Moreover, probabilistic model checkin...
Probability features increasingly often in software and hardware systems: it is used in distributed co-ordination and routing problems, to model fault-tolerance and performance, a...
The reactivity of Networked Automation Systems (NAS) has direct influence on safety and quality aspects. It can be determined by a response time analysis, which itself can be calc...
This work introduces probabilistic model checking as a viable tool-assisted approach for systematically quantifying DoS security threats. The proposed analysis is based on a proba...
Abstract. The technique of partial order reduction (POR) for probabilistic model checking prunes the state space of the model so that a maximizing scheduler and a minimizing one pe...
This paper investigates relative precision and optimality of analyses for concurrent probabilistic systems. Aiming at the problem at the heart of probabilistic model checking ? com...
