A Theory Agenda for Component-Based Design

Joseph Sifakis, Simon Bliudze

The aim of the paper is to present a theory agenda for component-based design based on results that motivated the development of the BIP component framework, to identify open problems and discuss further research directions. The focus is on proposing a sem ...

Conductance Switching and Many-Valued Logic in Porphyrin Assemblies

Nicola Marzari

We investigate quantum interference in the transport properties of porphyrin-based molecular devices, and are able to develop a minimal but qualitatively accurate model of conductance based on the maximally localized Wannier functions of just the isolated ...

Decision Procedures for Program Synthesis and Verification

Ruzica Piskac

Decision procedures are widely used in software development and verification. The goal of this dissertation is to increase the scope of properties that can be verified using decision procedures. To achieve this goal, we identify three improvements over the ...

A Model Predictive Control Approach to Trajectory Tracking Problems via Time-Varying Level Sets of Lyapunov Functions

Timm Faulwasser

We discuss a model predictive control approach to trajectory tracking problems of constrained nonlinear con- tinuous time systems, where the reference trajectory is a priori known and asymptotically constant. The proposed NMPC scheme is able to explicitly ...

Decision Procedures for Automating Termination Proofs

Ruzica Piskac

Automated termination provers often use the following schema to prove that a program terminates: construct a relational abstraction of the program's transition relation and then show that the relational abstraction is well-founded. The focus of current too ...

Ordered Sets in the Calculus of Data Structures

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter, Ruzica Piskac

Our goal is to identify families of relations that are useful for reasoning about software. We describe such families using decidable quantifier-free classes of logical constraints with a rich set of operations. A key challenge is to define such classes of ...

Building a Calculus of Data Structures

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter, Ruzica Piskac

Techniques such as verification condition generation, predicate abstraction, and expressive type systems reduce software verification to proving formulas in expressive logics. Programs and their specifications often make use of data structures such as sets ...

On Deciding Functional Lists with Sublist Sets

Viktor Kuncak

Motivated by the problem of deciding verification conditions for the verification of functional programs, we present new decision procedures for automated reasoning about functional lists. We first show how to decide in NP the satisfiability problem for lo ...

Drawing Hamiltonian cycles with no large angles

János Pach

Let n >= 4 be even. It is shown that every set S of n points in the plane can be connected by a (possibly self-intersecting) spanning tour (Hamiltonian cycle) consisting of n straight-line edges such that the angle between any two consecutive edges is at m ...

Tangencies between families of disjoint regions in the plane

János Pach

Let C be a family of n convex bodies in the plane, which can be decomposed into k subfamilies of pairwise disjoint sets. It is shown that the number of tangencies between the members of C is at most O(kn), and that this bound cannot be improved. If we only ...
