Tradeoffs in Reactive Systems Design (Dagstuhl Seminar 25091)

Authors: Jerónimo Castrillón-Mazo, Chadlia Jerad, Edward A. Lee, Claire Pagetti, and Shaokai Jerry Lin

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 15, Issue 2 (2025)

Abstract
Reactive systems - software systems that continuously interact with their physical or digital environment - are central to safety-critical domains such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, and medical devices. These systems face inherent design tensions: the need to be predictable yet adaptable, timely yet accurate, consistent yet available, and secure yet accessible. Addressing one requirement often undermines another, revealing tradeoffs that are not merely engineering challenges but fundamental limits. This seminar aimed to confront these tradeoffs directly, drawing on insights from real-time systems, distributed computing, formal methods, machine learning, and security. By exploring case studies, formal frameworks, and practical tools, we made progress in the understanding of how to make design decisions when no single solution satisfies all competing goals. Interactive sessions and demos gave participants a tangible sense of the costs and compromises involved. With all this, we achieved the seminar’s goal, namely, to cultivate a shared understanding of how to navigate the complex design space of reactive systems and chart paths toward more robust and principled solutions.

Towards Adaptive Multi-Alternative Process Network

Authors: Hasna Bouraoui, Chadlia Jerad, and Jeronimo Castrillon

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 88, 12th Workshop on Parallel Programming and Run-Time Management Techniques for Many-core Architectures and 10th Workshop on Design Tools and Architectures for Multicore Embedded Computing Platforms (PARMA-DITAM 2021)

Abstract
With the increase of voice-controlled systems, speech based recognition applications are gaining more attention. Such applications need to adapt to hardware platforms to offer the required performance. Given the streaming nature of these applications, dataflow models are a common choice for model-based design and execution on parallel embedded platforms. However, most of today’s models are built on top of classical static dataflow with adaptivity extensions to express data parallelism. In this paper, we define and describe an approach for algorithmic adaptivity to express richer sets of variants and trade-offs. For this, we introduce multi-Alternative Process Network (mAPN), a high-level abstract representation where several process networks of the same application coexist. We describe an algorithm for automatic generation of all possible alternatives. The mAPN is enriched with meta-data serving to endow the alternatives with annotations in terms of a specific metric, helping to extract the most suitable alternative depending on the available computational resources and application/user constraints. We motivate the approach by the automatic subtitling application (ASA) as use case and run the experiments on an mAPN sample consisting of 12 randomly selected possible variants.
