Causality, Responsibility, and Blame: A Structural-Model Approach
This talk will provide an overview of work that I have done with Hana Chockler, Orna Kupferman, and Judea Pearl [1, 2, 10, 9] on defining notions such as causality, explanation, ...

Exploring correctness and accuracy of solutions to matrix polynomial equations in queues
Spectral expansion and matrix analytic methods are important solution mechanisms for matrix polynomial equations. These equations are encountered in the steady-state analysis of M...

Bound-Preserving Composition for Markov Reward Models
Stochastic orders can be applied to Markov reward models and used to aggregate models, while introducing a bounded error. Aggregation reduces the number of states in a model, miti...

Safe On-The-Fly Steady-State Detection for Time-Bounded Reachability
The time-bounded reachability problem for continuoustime Markov chains (CTMCs) amounts to determine the probability to reach a (set of) goal state(s) within a given time span, suc...

Strategy Improvement for Concurrent Reachability Games
A concurrent reachability game is a two-player game played on a graph: at each state, the players simultaneously and independently select moves; the two moves determine jointly a ...

Compositional Quantitative Reasoning
Abstract. We present a compositional theory of system verification, where specifications assign real-numbered costs to systems. These costs can express a wide variety of quantita...
