Authors: Daniel Casini, Jian-Jia Chen, Jing Li, Federico Reghenzani, and Harun Teper

Published in: LITES, Volume 11, Issue 1 (2026). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 11, Issue 1

Abstract
The Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) has emerged as a relevant middleware framework for robotic applications, offering modularity, distributed execution, and communication. In the last six years, ROS 2 has drawn increasing attention from the real-time systems community and industry. This survey presents a comprehensive overview of research efforts that analyze, enhance, and extend ROS 2 to support real-time execution. We first provide a detailed description of the internal scheduling mechanisms of ROS 2 and its layered architecture, including the interaction with DDS-based communication and other communication middleware. We then review key contributions from the literature, covering timing analysis for both single- and multi-threaded executors, metrics such as response time, reaction time, and data age, and different communication modes. The survey also discusses community-driven enhancements to the ROS 2 runtime, including new executor algorithm designs, real-time GPU management, and microcontroller support via micro-ROS. Furthermore, we summarize techniques for bounding DDS communication delays, message filters, and profiling tools that have been developed to support analysis and experimentation. To help systematize this growing body of work, we introduce taxonomies that classify the surveyed contributions based on different criteria. This survey aims to guide both researchers and practitioners in understanding and improving the real-time capabilities of ROS 2.

On the Complexity of Language Membership for Probabilistic Words

Authors: Antoine Amarilli, Mikaël Monet, Paul Raphaël, and Sylvain Salvati

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 364, 43rd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2026)

Abstract
We study the membership problem to context-free languages L (CFLs) on probabilistic words, that specify for each position a probability distribution on the letters (assuming independence across positions). Our task is to compute, given a probabilistic word, what is the probability that a word drawn according to the distribution belongs to L. This problem generalizes the problem of counting how many words of length n belong to L, or of counting how many completions of a partial word belong to L. We show that this problem is in polynomial time for unambiguous context-free languages (uCFLs), but can be #P-hard already for unions of two linear uCFLs. More generally, we show that the problem is in polynomial time for so-called poly-slicewise-unambiguous languages, where given a length n we can tractably compute an uCFL for the words of length n in the language. This class includes some inherently ambiguous languages, and implies the tractability of bounded CFLs and of languages recognized by unambiguous polynomial-time counter automata; but we show that the problem can be #P-hard for nondeterministic counter automata, even for Parikh automata with a single counter. We then introduce classes of circuits from knowledge compilation which we use for tractable counting, and show that this covers the tractability of poly-slicewise-unambiguous languages and of some CFLs that are not poly-slicewise-unambiguous. Extending these circuits with negation further allows us to show tractability for the language of primitive words, and for the language of concatenations of two palindromes. We finally show the conditional undecidability of the meta-problem that asks, given a CFG, whether the probabilistic membership problem for that CFG is tractable or #P-hard.

Improving Lagarias-Odlyzko Algorithm for Average-Case Subset Sum: Modular Arithmetic Approach

Authors: Antoine Joux and Karol Węgrzycki

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 364, 43rd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2026)

Abstract
Lagarias and Odlyzko (J.ACM 1985) proposed a polynomial-time algorithm for solving "almost all" instances of the Subset Sum problem with n integers of size Ω(Γ_LO), where log₂(Γ_LO) > n² log₂(γ) and γ is a parameter of the lattice basis reduction (γ > √{4/3} for LLL). The algorithm of Lagarias and Odlyzko is a cornerstone of cryptography. However, the theoretical guarantee on the density of feasible instances has remained unimproved for almost 40 years. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that solves "almost all" instances of Subset Sum with integers of size Ω(√{Γ_LO}) after a single call to lattice reduction. Additionally, our approach allows solving the Subset Sum problem for multiple targets, whereas the previous method could handle only one target per call to lattice basis reduction. We introduce a modular arithmetic approach to the Subset Sum problem, leveraging lattice reduction to solve a linear system modulo a suitably large prime. By analyzing the lengths of the LLL-reduced basis vectors of both the primal and dual lattices simultaneously, we show that density guarantees can be improved.

Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange from Commutativity to Group Laws

Authors: Dung Hoang Duong, Youming Qiao, and Chuanqi Zhang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
In Diffie-Hellman key exchange, the commutativity of power operations is instrumental in the agreement of keys. Viewing commutativity as a law in abelian groups, we propose Diffie-Hellman key exchange in the group action framework (Brassard-Yung, Crypto'90; Ji-Qiao-Song-Yun, TCC'19), for actions of non-abelian groups with laws. The security of this protocol is shown, following Fischlin, Günther, Schmidt, and Warinschi (IEEE S&P'16), based on a pseudorandom group action assumption. A concrete instantiation is proposed based on the monomial code equivalence problem.

Unreliability in Practical Subclasses of Communicating Systems

Authors: Amrita Suresh and Nobuko Yoshida

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 360, 45th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2025)

Abstract
Systems of communicating automata are prominent models for peer-to-peer message-passing over unbounded channels, but in the general scenario, most verification properties are undecidable. To address this issue, two decidable subclasses, Realisable with Synchronous Communication (RSC) and k-Multiparty Compatibility (k-MC), were proposed in the literature, with corresponding verification tools developed and applied in practice. Unfortunately, both RSC and k-MC are not resilient under failures: (1) their decidability relies on the assumption of perfect channels and (2) most standard protocols do not satisfy RSC or k-MC under failures. To address these limitations, this paper studies the resilience of RSC and k-MC under two distinct failure models: interference and crash-stop failures. For interference, we relax the conditions of RSC and k-MC and prove that the inclusions of these relaxed properties remain decidable under interference, preserving their known complexity bounds. We then propose a novel crash-handling communicating system that captures wider behaviours than existing multiparty session types (MPST) with crash-stop failures. We study a translation of MPST with crash-stop failures into this system integrating RSC and k-MC properties, and establish their decidability results. Finally, by verifying representative protocols from the literature using RSC and k-MC tools extended to interferences, we evaluate the relaxed systems and demonstrate their resilience.

Climate Change: What is Computing’s Responsibility? (Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 25122)

Published in: Dagstuhl Manifestos, Volume 11, Issue 1 (2025)

Abstract
This Manifesto was produced from the Perspectives Workshop 25122 entitled "Climate Change: What is Computing’s Responsibility?" held March 16-19, 2025 at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany. The Workshop provided a forum for world-leading computer scientists and expert consultants on environmental policy and sustainable transition to engage in a critical and urgent conversation about computing’s responsibilities in addressing climate change - or more aptly, climate crisis. The resulting Manifesto outlines commitments and directions for future action which, if adopted as a basis for more responsible computing practices, will help ensure that these technologies do not threaten the long-term habitability of the planet. We preface our Manifesto with a recognition that humanity is on a path that is not in agreement with international global warming targets and explore how computing technologies are currently hastening the overshoot of these boundaries. We critically assess the vaunted potential for harnessing computing technologies for the mitigation of global warming, agreeing that, under current circumstances, computing is contributing to negative environmental impacts in other sectors. Computing primarily improves efficiency and reduces costs which leads to more consumption and more negative environmental impact. Relying solely on efficiency gains in computing has thus far proven to be insufficient to curb global greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, computing’s purpose within a strategy for tackling climate change must be reimagined. Our recommendations cover changes that need to be urgently made to the design priorities of computing technologies, but also speak to the more systemic shift in mindset, with sustainability and human rights providing a necessary moral foundation for developing the kinds of computing technologies most needed by society. We also stress the importance of digital policy that accounts for both the direct material impacts of computing and the detrimental indirect impacts arising from computing-enabled efficiencies, and the role of computing professionals in informing policy making.

Higher-Order Timed Automata and Tail Recursion

Authors: Florian Bruse

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 355, 32nd International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning (TIME 2025)

Abstract
Timed Automata (TA) are a popular formalism to model systems in dense linear time. However, due to their finite state-space, they can only model systems with a finitary logical behavior. There are extensions to e.g., timed pushdown systems and timed recursive state machines. Higher-Order Recursion Schemes (HORS) are another popular model for infinite-state, non-regular systems, naturally stratified by their type-theoretic order. We recently introduced Real-Time Recursion schemes as an approximation of HORS to real-time systems. This paper updates Real-Time Recursion Schemes into Higher-Order Timed Automata, a formalism that defines a tree-shaped timed automaton, which is more suitable to model actual systems. We show that the model-checking problem against the timed version of the modal mu-calculus exhibits the expected complexity bounds, i.e., an increase by one exponential towards the untimed version. We also show that, in the presence of tail recursion, half an exponential can be recovered, mirroring similar gains in the untimed setting. We also give a matching lower bound for the special case of order-1 HORTA. We conjecture that this can be generalized for all orders.

Metric Linear-Time Temporal Logic with Strict First-Time Semantics

Authors: Eric Alsmann and Martin Lange

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 355, 32nd International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning (TIME 2025)

Abstract
We introduce strict first-time semantics for the Until operator from linear-time temporal logic which makes assertions not just about some future moment but about the first time in the future that its argument should hold. We investigate Metric Linear-Time Temporal Logic under this interpretation in terms of expressive power, relative succinctness and computational complexity. While the expressiveness does not exceed that of pure LTL, there are properties definable in this logic which can only be expressed in LTL with exponentially larger formulas. Yet, we show that the complexity of the satisfiability problem remains PSPACE-complete which is in contrast to the EXPSPACE-completeness of Metric LTL. The motivation for this logic originates in a study of the expressive power of State Space Models, a recently proposed alternative to the popular transformer architectures in machine learning.

A Certified Proof Checker for Deep Neural Network Verification in Imandra

Authors: Remi Desmartin, Omri Isac, Grant Passmore, Ekaterina Komendantskaya, Kathrin Stark, and Guy Katz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)

Abstract
Recent advances in the verification of deep neural networks (DNNs) have opened the way for a broader usage of DNN verification technology in many application areas, including safety-critical ones. However, DNN verifiers are themselves complex programs that have been shown to be susceptible to errors and numerical imprecision; this, in turn, has raised the question of trust in DNN verifiers. One prominent attempt to address this issue is enhancing DNN verifiers with the capability of producing certificates of their results that are subject to independent algorithmic checking. While formulations of Marabou certificate checking already exist on top of the state-of-the-art DNN verifier Marabou, they are implemented in C++, and that code itself raises the question of trust (e.g., in the precision of floating point calculations or guarantees for implementation soundness). Here, we present an alternative implementation of the Marabou certificate checking in Imandra - an industrial functional programming language and an interactive theorem prover (ITP) - that allows us to obtain full proof of certificate correctness. The significance of the result is two-fold. Firstly, it gives stronger independent guarantees for Marabou proofs. Secondly, it opens the way for the wider adoption of DNN verifiers in interactive theorem proving in the same way as many ITPs already incorporate SMT solvers.

On the I/O Complexity of the Cocke-Younger-Kasami Algorithm and of a Family of Related Dynamic Programming Algorithms

Authors: Lorenzo De Stefani and Vedant Gupta

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 349, 19th International Symposium on Algorithms and Data Structures (WADS 2025)

Abstract
Asymptotically tight lower bounds are derived for the Input/Output (I/O) complexity of a class of dynamic programming algorithms, including matrix chain multiplication, optimal polygon triangulation, and the construction of optimal binary search trees. Assuming no recomputation of intermediate values, we establish an Ω(n³/(√M B)) I/O lower bound, where n denotes the size of the input and M denotes the size of the available fast memory (cache). When recomputation is allowed, we show that the same bound holds for M < cn, where c is a positive constant. In the case where M ≥ 2n, we show an Ω(n/B) I/O lower bound. We also discuss algorithms for which the number of executed I/O operations matches asymptotically each of the presented lower bounds, which are thus asymptotically tight. Additionally, we refine our general method to obtain a lower bound for the I/O complexity of the Cocke-Younger-Kasami algorithm, where the size of the grammar impacts the I/O complexity. An upper bound with asymptotically matching performance in many cases is also provided.

The Complexity of Reachability Problems in Strongly Connected Finite Automata

Authors: Stefan Kiefer and Andrew Ryzhikov

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract
Several reachability problems in finite automata, such as completeness of NFAs and synchronisation of total DFAs, correspond to fundamental properties of sets of nonnegative matrices. In particular, the two mentioned properties correspond to matrix mortality and ergodicity, which ask whether there exists a product of the input matrices that is equal to, respectively, the zero matrix and a matrix with a column of strictly positive entries only. The case where the input automaton is strongly connected (that is, the corresponding set of nonnegative matrices is irreducible) frequently appears in applications and often admits better properties than the general case. In this paper, we address the existence of such properties from the computational complexity point of view, and develop a versatile technique to show that several NL-complete problems remain NL-complete in the strongly connected case. In particular, we show that deciding if a binary total DFA is synchronising is NL-complete even if it is promised to be strongly connected, and that deciding completeness of a binary unambiguous NFA with very limited nondeterminism is NL-complete under the same promise.

Model Checking as Program Verification by Abstract Interpretation

Authors: Paolo Baldan, Roberto Bruni, Francesco Ranzato, and Diletta Rigo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
Abstract interpretation offers a powerful toolset for static analysis, tackling precision, complexity and state-explosion issues. In the literature, state partitioning abstractions based on (bi)simulation and property-preserving state relations have been successfully applied to abstract model checking. Here, we pursue a different track in which model checking is seen as an instance of program verification. To this purpose, we introduce a suitable language - called MOKA (for MOdel checking as abstract interpretation of 𝖪leene 𝖠lgebras) - which is used to encode temporal formulae as programs. In particular, we show that (universal fragments of) temporal logics, such as ACTL or, more generally, universal μ-calculus can be transformed into MOKA programs. Such programs return all and only the initial states which violate the formula. By applying abstract interpretation to MOKA programs, we pave the way for reusing more general abstractions than partitions as well as for tuning the precision of the abstraction to remove or avoid false alarms. We show how to perform model checking via a program logic that combines under-approximation and abstract interpretation analysis to avoid false alarms. The notion of locally complete abstraction is used to dynamically improve the analysis precision via counterexample-guided domain refinement.

Abstract Subtyping for Asynchronous Multiparty Sessions

Authors: Laura Bocchi, Andy King, Maurizio Murgia, and Simon Thompson

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
Session subtyping answers the question of whether a program in a communicating system can be safely substituted for another, when their communication behaviour is described by session types. Asynchronous session subtyping is undecidable, even for two participants, hence the interest in sound, but incomplete, subtyping algorithms. Asynchronous multiparty subtyping can be formulated by decomposing session types into single input and output types which preclude, respectively, external and internal choice. This paper shows how abstract interpretation can sit atop this approach and how it leads to an algorithm that can prove subtyping for intricate communication patterns.

An Application of SAT Solvers in Integer Programming Games

Authors: Pravesh Koirala, Aditya Shrey, and Forrest Laine

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 341, 28th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2025)

Abstract
Integer programming games (IPGs) are a popular game-theoretic tool to model an array of games where each player has a discrete strategy set. These games arise in important domains such as economics, transportation, cybersecurity, etc., but solving them is non-trivial as it is known that checking for the existence of pure Nash equilibria in an IPG is Σ₂^p-complete. Recent works have proposed a class of relaxed solution concepts for IPGs called locally optimal integer solutions (LOIS) and shown it to be an efficient alternative for pure Nash equilibria. While LOIS are significantly simpler to compute, they still do not scale when solved using traditional mathematical solvers, especially when high-quality solutions are desired. In this paper, we apply commercially available SAT solvers to find LOIS in IPGs. We investigate efficient encodings for a cybersecurity game and compare solution times when using SAT solvers vs mathematical program solvers. We also investigate the application of SAT solvers in graph games using a graph interdiction example and compare against the obtained LOI solutions against existing heuristics-based solutions. Our results indicate that with appropriate encodings, large-scale IPGs can be solved much more efficiently using SAT solvers. We also show that SAT solvers can be applied to graph games in conjunction with LOIS for obtaining high-quality solutions. Our results emphasize the potential of SAT solvers combined with LOIS to solve significant game theory problems.

An Expressive Trace Logic for Recursive Programs

Authors: Dilian Gurov and Reiner Hähnle

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 337, 10th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2025)

Abstract
We present an expressive logic over trace formulas, based on binary state predicates, chop, and least fixed points, for precise specification of programs with recursive procedures. Both programs and trace formulas are equipped with a direct-style, fully compositional, denotational semantics that on programs coincides with the standard SOS of recursive programs. We design a compositional proof calculus for proving finite-trace program properties, and prove soundness as well as (relative) completeness. We show that each program can be mapped to a semantics-preserving trace formula and, vice versa, each trace formula can be mapped to a canonical program over slightly extended programs, resulting in a Galois connection between programs and formulas. Our results shed light on the correspondence between programming constructs and logical connectives.
