Runtime Instrumentation for Reactive Components

Authors: Luca Aceto, Duncan Paul Attard, Adrian Francalanza, and Anna Ingólfsdóttir

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 313, 38th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2024)

Abstract
Reactive software calls for instrumentation methods that uphold the reactive attributes of systems. Runtime verification imposes another demand on the instrumentation, namely that the trace event sequences it reports to monitors are sound - that is, they reflect actual executions of the system under scrutiny. This paper presents RIARC, a novel decentralised instrumentation algorithm for outline monitors meeting these two demands. Asynchrony in reactive software complicates the instrumentation due to potential trace event loss or reordering. RIARC overcomes these challenges using a next-hop IP routing approach to rearrange and report events soundly to monitors. RIARC is validated in two ways. We subject its corresponding implementation to rigorous systematic testing to confirm its correctness. In addition, we assess this implementation via extensive empirical experiments, subjecting it to large realistic workloads to ascertain its reactiveness. Our results show that RIARC optimises its memory and scheduler usage to maintain latency feasible for soft real-time applications. We also compare RIARC to inline and centralised monitoring, revealing that it induces comparable latency to inline monitoring in moderate concurrency settings where software performs long-running, computationally-intensive tasks, such as in Big Data stream processing.

Cross Module Quickening - The Curious Case of C Extensions

Authors: Felix Berlakovich and Stefan Brunthaler

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 313, 38th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2024)

Abstract
Dynamic programming languages such as Python offer expressive power and programmer productivity at the expense of performance. Although the topic of optimizing Python has received considerable attention over the years, a key obstacle remains elusive: C extensions. Time and again, optimized run-time environments, such as JIT compilers and optimizing interpreters, fall short of optimizing across C extensions, as they cannot reason about the native code hiding underneath. To bridge this gap, we present an analysis of C extensions for Python. The analysis data indicates that C extensions come in different varieties. One such variety is to merely speed up a single thing, such as reading a file and processing it directly in C. Another variety offers broad access through an API, resulting in a domain-specific language realized by function calls. While the former variety of C extensions offer little optimization potential for optimizing run-times, we find that the latter variety does offer considerable optimization potential. This optimization potential rests on dynamic locality that C extensions cannot readily tap. We introduce a new, interpreter-based optimization leveraging this untapped optimization potential called Cross-Module Quickening. The key idea is that C extensions can use an optimization interface to register highly-optimized operations on C extension-specific datatypes. A quickening interpreter uses these information to continuously specialize programs with C extensions. To quantify the attainable performance potential of going beyond C extensions, we demonstrate a concrete instantiation of Cross-Module Quickening for the CPython interpreter and the popular NumPy C extension. We evaluate our implementation with the NPBench benchmark suite and report performance improvements by a factor of up to 2.84.

Failure Transparency in Stateful Dataflow Systems

Authors: Aleksey Veresov, Jonas Spenger, Paris Carbone, and Philipp Haller

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 313, 38th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2024)

Abstract
Failure transparency enables users to reason about distributed systems at a higher level of abstraction, where complex failure-handling logic is hidden. This is especially true for stateful dataflow systems, which are the backbone of many cloud applications. In particular, this paper focuses on proving failure transparency in Apache Flink, a popular stateful dataflow system. Even though failure transparency is a critical aspect of Apache Flink, to date it has not been formally proven. Showing that the failure transparency mechanism is correct, however, is challenging due to the complexity of the mechanism itself. Nevertheless, this complexity can be effectively hidden behind a failure transparent programming interface. To show that Apache Flink is failure transparent, we model it in small-step operational semantics. Next, we provide a novel definition of failure transparency based on observational explainability, a concept which relates executions according to their observations. Finally, we provide a formal proof of failure transparency for the implementation model; i.e., we prove that the failure-free model correctly abstracts from the failure-related details of the implementation model. We also show liveness of the implementation model under a fair execution assumption. These results are a first step towards a verified stack for stateful dataflow systems.

Spatial Nudging: Converging Persuasive Technologies, Spatial Design, and Behavioral Theories

Authors: Ayda Grisiute and Martin Raubal

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 315, 16th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2024)

Abstract
This paper presents the Spatial Nudging framework - a theory-based framework that maps out nudging strategies in the mobility domain and refines its existing definitions. We link these strategies by highlighting the role of perceived affordances across physical and digital interventions based on the Nudge Theory and the Theory of Affordances. Furthermore, we propose to use graph representation techniques as a supportive methodology to better align perceived and actual environments, thereby enhancing the intervention strategies' effectiveness. We illustrate the applicability of the Spatial Nudging framework and the supportive methodology in the context of an E-bike City vision. This paper lays the foundation for future research on theoretically integrating physical and digital interventions to promote sustainable mobility.

Duper: A Proof-Producing Superposition Theorem Prover for Dependent Type Theory

Authors: Joshua Clune, Yicheng Qian, Alexander Bentkamp, and Jeremy Avigad

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 309, 15th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2024)

Abstract
We present Duper, a proof-producing theorem prover for Lean based on the superposition calculus. Duper can be called directly as a terminal tactic in interactive Lean proofs, but is also designed with proof reconstruction for a future Lean hammer in mind. In this paper, we describe Duper’s underlying approach to proof search and proof reconstruction with a particular emphasis on the challenges of working in a dependent type theory. We also compare Duper’s performance to Metis' on pre-existing benchmarks to give evidence that Duper is performant enough to be useful for proof reconstruction in a hammer.

A Formal Proof of R(4,5)=25

Authors: Thibault Gauthier and Chad E. Brown

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 309, 15th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2024)

Abstract
In 1995, McKay and Radziszowski proved that the Ramsey number R(4,5) is equal to 25. Their proof relies on a combination of high-level arguments and computational steps. The authors have performed the computational parts of the proof with different implementations in order to reduce the possibility of an error in their programs. In this work, we prove this theorem in the interactive theorem prover HOL4 limiting the uncertainty to the small HOL4 kernel. Instead of verifying their algorithms directly, we rely on the HOL4 interface to MiniSat to prove gluing lemmas. To reduce the number of such lemmas and thus make the computational part of the proof feasible, we implement a generalization algorithm. We verify that its output covers all the possible cases by implementing a custom SAT-solver extended with a graph isomorphism checker.

Formal Verification of the Empty Hexagon Number

Authors: Bernardo Subercaseaux, Wojciech Nawrocki, James Gallicchio, Cayden Codel, Mario Carneiro, and Marijn J. H. Heule

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 309, 15th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2024)

Abstract
A recent breakthrough in computer-assisted mathematics showed that every set of 30 points in the plane in general position (i.e., no three points on a common line) contains an empty convex hexagon. Heule and Scheucher solved this problem with a combination of geometric insights and automated reasoning techniques by constructing CNF formulas ϕ_n, with O(n⁴) clauses, such that if ϕ_n is unsatisfiable then every set of n points in general position must contain an empty convex hexagon. An unsatisfiability proof for n = 30 was then found with a SAT solver using 17 300 CPU hours of parallel computation. In this paper, we formalize and verify this result in the Lean theorem prover. Our formalization covers ideas in discrete computational geometry and SAT encoding techniques by introducing a framework that connects geometric objects to propositional assignments. We see this as a key step towards the formal verification of other SAT-based results in geometry, since the abstractions we use have been successfully applied to similar problems. Overall, we hope that our work sets a new standard for the verification of geometry problems relying on extensive computation, and that it increases the trust the mathematical community places in computer-assisted proofs.

Centralized vs Decentralized Monitors for Hyperproperties

Authors: Luca Aceto, Antonis Achilleos, Elli Anastasiadi, Adrian Francalanza, Daniele Gorla, and Jana Wagemaker

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 311, 35th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2024)

Abstract
This paper focuses on the runtime verification of hyperproperties expressed in Hyper-recHML, an expressive yet simple logic for describing properties of sets of traces. To this end, we consider a simple language of monitors that observe sets of system executions and report verdicts w.r.t. a given Hyper-recHML formula. We first employ a unique omniscient monitor that centrally observes all system traces. Since centralised monitors are not ideal for distributed settings, we also provide a language for decentralized monitors, where each trace has a dedicated monitor; these monitors yield a unique verdict by communicating their observations to one another. For both the centralized and the decentralized settings, we provide a synthesis procedure that, given a formula, yields a monitor that is correct (i.e., sound and violation complete). A key step in proving the correctness of the synthesis for decentralized monitors is a result showing that, for each formula, the synthesized centralized monitor and its corresponding decentralized one are weakly bisimilar for a suitable notion of weak bisimulation.

Left-Linear Rewriting in Adhesive Categories

Authors: Paolo Baldan, Davide Castelnovo, Andrea Corradini, and Fabio Gadducci

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 311, 35th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2024)

Abstract
When can two sequential steps performed by a computing device be considered (causally) independent? This is a relevant question for concurrent and distributed systems, since independence means that they could be executed in any order, and potentially in parallel. Equivalences identifying rewriting sequences which differ only for independent steps are at the core of the theory of concurrency of many formalisms. We investigate the issue in the context of the double pushout approach to rewriting in the general setting of adhesive categories. While a consolidated theory exists for linear rules, which can consume, preserve and generate entities, this paper focuses on left-linear rules which may also "merge" parts of the state. This is an apparently minimal, yet technically hard enhancement, since a standard characterisation of independence that - in the linear case - allows one to derive a number of properties, essential in the development of a theory of concurrency, no longer holds. The paper performs an in-depth study of the notion of independence for left-linear rules: it introduces a novel characterisation of independence, identifies well-behaved classes of left-linear rewriting systems, and provides some fundamental results including a Church-Rosser property and the existence of canonical equivalence proofs for concurrent computations. These results properly extends the class of formalisms that can be modelled in the adhesive framework.

Strategic Dominance: A New Preorder for Nondeterministic Processes

Authors: Thomas A. Henzinger, Nicolas Mazzocchi, and N. Ege Saraç

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 311, 35th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2024)

Abstract
We study the following refinement relation between nondeterministic state-transition models: model ℬ strategically dominates model 𝒜 iff every deterministic refinement of 𝒜 is language contained in some deterministic refinement of ℬ. While language containment is trace inclusion, and the (fair) simulation preorder coincides with tree inclusion, strategic dominance falls strictly between the two and can be characterized as "strategy inclusion" between 𝒜 and ℬ: every strategy that resolves the nondeterminism of 𝒜 is dominated by a strategy that resolves the nondeterminism of ℬ. Strategic dominance can be checked in 2-ExpTime by a decidable first-order Presburger logic with quantification over words and strategies, called resolver logic. We give several other applications of resolver logic, including checking the co-safety, co-liveness, and history-determinism of boolean and quantitative automata, and checking the inclusion between hyperproperties that are specified by nondeterministic boolean and quantitative automata.

Around Classical and Intuitionistic Linear Processes

Authors: Juan C. Jaramillo, Dan Frumin, and Jorge A. Pérez

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 311, 35th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2024)

Abstract
Curry-Howard correspondences between Linear Logic (LL) and session types provide a firm foundation for concurrent processes. As the correspondences hold for intuitionistic and classical versions of LL (ILL and CLL), we obtain two different families of type systems for concurrency. An open question remains: how do these two families exactly relate to each other? Based upon a translation from CLL to ILL due to Laurent, we provide two complementary answers, in the form of full abstraction results based on a typed observational equivalence due to Atkey. Our results elucidate hitherto missing formal links between seemingly related yet different type systems for concurrency.

Progress, Justness and Fairness in Modal μ-Calculus Formulae

Authors: Myrthe S. C. Spronck, Bas Luttik, and Tim A. C. Willemse

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 311, 35th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2024)

Abstract
When verifying liveness properties on a transition system, it is often necessary to discard spurious violating paths by making assumptions on which paths represent realistic executions. Capturing that some property holds under such an assumption in a logical formula is challenging and error-prone, particularly in the modal μ-calculus. In this paper, we present template formulae in the modal μ-calculus that can be instantiated to a broad range of liveness properties. We consider the following assumptions: progress, justness, weak fairness, strong fairness, and hyperfairness, each with respect to actions. The correctness of these formulae has been proven.

Coinductive Techniques for Checking Satisfiability of Generalized Nested Conditions

Authors: Lara Stoltenow, Barbara König, Sven Schneider, Andrea Corradini, Leen Lambers, and Fernando Orejas

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 311, 35th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2024)

Abstract
We study nested conditions, a generalization of first-order logic to a categorical setting, and provide a tableau-based (semi-decision) procedure for checking (un)satisfiability and finite model generation. This generalizes earlier results on graph conditions. Furthermore we introduce a notion of witnesses, allowing the detection of infinite models in some cases. To ensure completeness, paths in a tableau must be fair, where fairness requires that all parts of a condition are processed eventually. Since the correctness arguments are non-trivial, we rely on coinductive proof methods and up-to techniques that structure the arguments. We distinguish between two types of categories: categories where all sections are isomorphisms, allowing for a simpler tableau calculus that includes finite model generation; in categories where this requirement does not hold, model generation does not work, but we still obtain a sound and complete calculus.

Pseudo-Boolean Reasoning About States and Transitions to Certify Dynamic Programming and Decision Diagram Algorithms

Authors: Emir Demirović, Ciaran McCreesh, Matthew J. McIlree, Jakob Nordström, Andy Oertel, and Konstantin Sidorov

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 307, 30th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2024)

Abstract
Pseudo-Boolean proof logging has been used successfully to provide certificates of optimality from a variety of constraint- and satisifability-style solvers that combine reasoning with a backtracking or clause-learning search. Another paradigm, occurring in dynamic programming and decision diagram solving, instead reasons about partial states and possible transitions between them. We describe a framework for generating clean and efficient pseudo-Boolean proofs for these kinds of algorithm, and use it to produce certifying algorithms for knapsack, longest path, and interval scheduling. Because we use a common proof system, we can also reason about hybrid solving algorithms: we demonstrate this by providing proof logging for a dynamic programming based knapsack propagator inside a constraint programming solver.

A Multi-Stage Proof Logging Framework to Certify the Correctness of CP Solvers

Authors: Maarten Flippo, Konstantin Sidorov, Imko Marijnissen, Jeff Smits, and Emir Demirović

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 307, 30th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2024)

Abstract
Proof logging is used to increase trust in the optimality and unsatisfiability claims of solvers. However, to this date, no constraint programming solver can practically produce proofs without significantly impacting performance, which hinders mainstream adoption. We address this issue by introducing a novel proof generation framework, together with a CP proof format and proof checker. Our approach is to divide the proof generation into three steps. At runtime, we require the CP solver to only produce a proof sketch, which we call a scaffold. After the solving is done, our proof processor trims and expands the scaffold into a full CP proof, which is subsequently verified. Our framework is agnostic to the solver and the verification approach. Through MiniZinc benchmarks, we demonstrate that with our framework, the overhead of logging during solving is often less than 10%, significantly lower than other approaches, and that our proof processing step can reduce the overall size of the proof by orders of magnitude and by extension the proof checking time. Our results demonstrate that proof logging has the potential to become an integral part of the CP community.
