Compositional Verification of Interacting Systems Using Event Monads

Authors: Bohua Zhan, Yi Lv, Shuling Wang, Gehang Zhao, Jifeng Hao, Hong Ye, and Bican Xia

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 237, 13th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2022)

Abstract
Large software systems are usually divided into multiple components that interact with each other. How to verify interacting components in a modular way is one of the major problems in formal verification. In many cases, interaction between components can be modeled asynchronously, where events are sent without requiring a response in order to continue with execution of the component. In this paper, we propose a lightweight, event-based framework for verification of components with asynchronous interaction. We define event monads and event systems, and a Hoare logic-style calculus for reasoning about them. The framework is implemented in Isabelle and applied to several case studies, including models for distributed computing, cache-coherence protocols, and verification of partition scheduling in a real-time operating system.

Quantifier Elimination in Stochastic Boolean Satisfiability

Authors: Hao-Ren Wang, Kuan-Hua Tu, Jie-Hong Roland Jiang, and Christoph Scholl

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 236, 25th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2022)

Abstract
Stochastic Boolean Satisfiability (SSAT) generalizes quantified Boolean formulas (QBFs) by allowing quantification over random variables. Its generality makes SSAT powerful to model decision or optimization problems under uncertainty. On the other hand, the generalization complicates the computation in its counting nature. In this work, we address the following two questions: 1) Is there an analogy of quantifier elimination in SSAT, similar to QBF? 2) If quantifier elimination is possible for SSAT, can it be effective for SSAT solving? We answer them affirmatively, and develop an SSAT decision procedure based on quantifier elimination. Experimental results demonstrate the unique benefits of the new method compared to the state-of-the-art solvers.

On Cyclic Solutions to the Min-Max Latency Multi-Robot Patrolling Problem

Authors: Peyman Afshani, Mark de Berg, Kevin Buchin, Jie Gao, Maarten Löffler, Amir Nayyeri, Benjamin Raichel, Rik Sarkar, Haotian Wang, and Hao-Tsung Yang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 224, 38th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2022)

Abstract
We consider the following surveillance problem: Given a set P of n sites in a metric space and a set R of k robots with the same maximum speed, compute a patrol schedule of minimum latency for the robots. Here a patrol schedule specifies for each robot an infinite sequence of sites to visit (in the given order) and the latency L of a schedule is the maximum latency of any site, where the latency of a site s is the supremum of the lengths of the time intervals between consecutive visits to s. When k = 1 the problem is equivalent to the travelling salesman problem (TSP) and thus it is NP-hard. For k ≥ 2 (which is the version we are interested in) the problem becomes even more challenging; for example, it is not even clear if the decision version of the problem is decidable, in particular in the Euclidean case. We have two main results. We consider cyclic solutions in which the set of sites must be partitioned into 𝓁 groups, for some 𝓁 ≤ k, and each group is assigned a subset of the robots that move along the travelling salesman tour of the group at equal distance from each other. Our first main result is that approximating the optimal latency of the class of cyclic solutions can be reduced to approximating the optimal travelling salesman tour on some input, with only a 1+ε factor loss in the approximation factor and an O((k/ε) ^k) factor loss in the runtime, for any ε > 0. Our second main result shows that an optimal cyclic solution is a 2(1-1/k)-approximation of the overall optimal solution. Note that for k = 2 this implies that an optimal cyclic solution is optimal overall. We conjecture that this is true for k ≥ 3 as well. The results have a number of consequences. For the Euclidean version of the problem, for instance, combining our results with known results on Euclidean TSP, yields a PTAS for approximating an optimal cyclic solution, and it yields a (2(1-1/k)+ε)-approximation of the optimal unrestricted (not necessarily cyclic) solution. If the conjecture mentioned above is true, then our algorithm is actually a PTAS for the general problem in the Euclidean setting. Similar results can be obtained by combining our results with other known TSP algorithms in non-Euclidean metrics.

GPU-Accelerated Computation of Vietoris-Rips Persistence Barcodes

Authors: Simon Zhang, Mengbai Xiao, and Hao Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 164, 36th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2020)

Abstract
The computation of Vietoris-Rips persistence barcodes is both execution-intensive and memory-intensive. In this paper, we study the computational structure of Vietoris-Rips persistence barcodes, and identify several unique mathematical properties and algorithmic opportunities with connections to the GPU. Mathematically and empirically, we look into the properties of apparent pairs, which are independently identifiable persistence pairs comprising up to 99% of persistence pairs. We give theoretical upper and lower bounds of the apparent pair rate and model the average case. We also design massively parallel algorithms to take advantage of the very large number of simplices that can be processed independently of each other. Having identified these opportunities, we develop a GPU-accelerated software for computing Vietoris-Rips persistence barcodes, called Ripser++. The software achieves up to 30x speedup over the total execution time of the original Ripser and also reduces CPU-memory usage by up to 2.0x. We believe our GPU-acceleration based efforts open a new chapter for the advancement of topological data analysis in the post-Moore’s Law era.
