Abstract This paper presents , a new practical and user-friendly framework for testing concurrent algorithms on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). provides a simple and declarative way to write concurrent tests: instead of describing how to perform the test, users specify what to te…
Abstract We provide a learning-based technique for guessing a winning strategy in a parity game originating from an LTL synthesis problem. A cheaply obtained guess can be useful in several applications. Not only can the guessed strategy be applied as best-effort in cases where th…
Abstract Rely-guarantee (RG) is a highly influential compositional proof technique for concurrent programs, which was originally developed assuming a sequentially consistent shared memory. In this paper, we first generalize RG to make it parametric with respect to the underlying …
Abstract This paper explores how using commutativity can improve the efficiency and efficacy of algorithmic termination checking for concurrent programs. If a program run is terminating, one can conclude that all other runs equivalent to it up-to-commutativity are also terminatin…
Abstract Multiparty session types (MSTs) are a type-based approach to verifying communication protocols. Central to MSTs is a projection operator: a partial function that maps protocols represented as global types to correct-by-construction implementations for each participant, r…
Abstract We propose a method for certifying the fairness of the classification result of a widely used supervised learning algorithm, thek-nearest neighbors (KNN), under the assumption that the training data may have historical bias caused by systematic mislabeling of samples fro…
Abstract Satisfiability Modulo the Theory of Nonlinear Real Arithmetic, SMT(NRA) for short, concerns the satisfiability of polynomial formulas, which are quantifier-free Boolean combinations of polynomial equations and inequalities with integer coefficients and real variables. In…
Abstract We present the Verse library with the aim of making hybrid system verification more usable for multi-agent scenarios. In Verse, decision making agents move in a map and interact with each other through sensors. The decision logic for each agent is written in a subset of …
Abstract Masking is a widely-used effective countermeasure against power side-channel attacks for implementing cryptographic algorithms. Surprisingly, few formal verification techniques have addressed a fundamental question, i.e., whether the masked program and the original (unma…
Abstract This manuscript presents the updated version of the Neural Network Verification (NNV) tool. NNV is a formal verification software tool for deep learning models and cyber-physical systems with neural network components. NNV was first introduced as a verification framework…
Abstract String solvers are automated-reasoning tools that can solve combinatorial problems over formal languages. They typically operate on restricted first-order logic formulas that include operations such as string concatenation, substring relationship, and regular expression …
Abstract We present a flexible and efficient toolchain to symbolically solve (standard) Rabin games, fair-adversarial Rabin games, and "Image missing" -player Rabin games. To our best knowledge, our tools are the first ones to be able to solve these problems. Furthermore, using t…
Abstract A safety verification task involves verifying a system against a desired safety property under certain assumptions about the environment. However, these environmental assumptions may occasionally be violated due to modeling errors or faults. Ideally, the system guarantee…
Abstract Data scientists often need to write programs to process predictions of machine learning models, such as object detections and trajectories in video data. However, writing such queries can be challenging due to the fuzzy nature of real-world data; in particular, they ofte…
Abstract is a new tool for checking linearizability proofs of highly complex concurrent search structures. The tool’s unique features are its parametric heap abstraction based on separation logic and the flow framework, and its support for hindsight arguments about future-depende…
Abstract Bitwuzla is a new SMT solver for the quantifier-free and quantified theories of fixed-size bit-vectors, arrays, floating-point arithmetic, and uninterpreted functions. This paper serves as a comprehensive system description of its architecture and components. We evaluate…
Abstract We study satisfiability modulo the theory of finite fields and give a decision procedure for this theory. We implement our procedure for prime fields inside the cvc5 SMT solver. Using this theory, we construct SMT queries that encode translation validation for various ze…
Abstract Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) are cryptographic protocols by which a prover convinces a verifier of the truth of a statement without revealing any other information. Typically, statements are expressed in a high-level language and then compiled to a low-level representati…
Abstract Deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly used in safety-critical autonomous systems as perception components processing high-dimensional image data. Formal analysis of these systems is particularly challenging due to the complexity of the perception DNNs, the sensors…
Abstract In this paper, we address the problem of the (reactive) realizability of specifications of theories richer than Booleans, including arithmetic theories. Our approach transforms theory specifications into purely Boolean specifications by (1) substituting theory literals b…
