Model Learning for Improved Trustworthiness in Autonomous Systems (Dagstuhl Seminar 23492)

Authors: Ellen Enkel, Nils Jansen, Mohammad Reza Mousavi, and Kristin Yvonne Rozier

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12 (2024)


Abstract
The term of a model has different meanings in different communities, e.g., in psychology, computer science, and human-computer interaction, among others. Well-defined models and specifications are the bottleneck of rigorous analysis techniques in practice: they are often non-existent or outdated. The constructed models capture various aspects of system behaviours, which are inherently heterogeneous in nature in contemporary autonomous systems. Once these models are in place, they can be used to address further challenges concerning autonomous systems, such as validation and verification, transparency and trust, and explanation. The seminar brought together the best experts in a diverse range of disciplines such as artificial intelligence, formal methods, psychology, software and systems engineering, and human-computer interaction as well as others dealing with autonomous systems. The goal was to consolidate these understanding of models in order to address three grand challenges in trustworthiness and trust: (1) understanding and analysing the dynamic relationship of trustworthiness and trust, (2) the understanding of mental modes and trust, and (3) rigorous and model-based measures for trustworthiness and calibrated trust.

Logical Characterisation of Hybrid Conformance

Authors: Maciej Gazda and Mohammad Reza Mousavi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 168, 47th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2020)


Abstract
Logical characterisation of a behavioural equivalence relation precisely specifies the set of formulae that are preserved and reflected by the relation. Such characterisations have been studied extensively for exact semantics on discrete models such as bisimulations for labelled transition systems and Kripke structures, but to a much lesser extent for approximate relations, in particular in the context of hybrid systems. We present what is to our knowledge the first characterisation result for approximate notions of hybrid refinement and hybrid conformance involving tolerance thresholds in both time and value. Since the notion of conformance in this setting is approximate, any characterisation will unavoidably involve a notion of relaxation, denoting how the specification formulae should be relaxed in order to hold for the implementation. We also show that an existing relaxation scheme on Metric Temporal Logic used for preservation results in this setting is not tight enough for providing a characterisation of neither hybrid conformance nor refinement. The characterisation result, while interesting in its own right, paves the way to more applied research, as our notion of hybrid conformance underlies a formal model-based technique for the verification of cyber-physical systems.

Invited Paper
Notions of Conformance Testing for Cyber-Physical Systems: Overview and Roadmap (Invited Paper)

Authors: Narges Khakpour and Mohammad Reza Mousavi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 42, 26th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2015)


Abstract
We review and compare three notions of conformance testing for cyber-physical systems. We begin with a review of their underlying semantic models and present conformance-preserving translations between them. We identify the differences in the underlying semantic models and the various design decisions that lead to these substantially different notions of conformance testing. Learning from this exercise, we reflect upon the challenges in designing an "ideal" notion of conformance for cyber-physical systems and sketch a roadmap of future research in this domain.
