Understanding Concurrency Bugs in Real-World Programs with Kotlin Coroutines

Authors: Bob Brockbernd, Nikita Koval, Arie van Deursen, and Burcu Kulahcioglu Ozkan

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

Abstract
Kotlin language has recently become prominent for developing both Android and server-side applications. These programs are typically designed to be fast and responsive, with asynchrony and concurrency at their core. To enable developers to write asynchronous and concurrent code safely and concisely, Kotlin provides built-in coroutines support. However, developers unfamiliar with the coroutines concept may write programs with subtle concurrency bugs and face unexpected program behaviors. Besides the traditional concurrency bug patterns, such as data races and deadlocks, these bugs may exhibit patterns related to the coroutine semantics. Understanding these coroutine-specific bug patterns in real-world Kotlin applications is essential in avoiding common mistakes and writing correct programs. In this paper, we present the first study of real-world concurrency bugs related to Kotlin coroutines. We examined 55 concurrency bug cases selected from 7 popular open-source repositories that use Kotlin coroutines, including IntelliJ IDEA, Firefox, and Ktor, and analyzed their bug characteristics and root causes. We identified common bug patterns related to asynchrony and Kotlin’s coroutine semantics, presenting them with their root causes, misconceptions that led to the bugs, and strategies for their automated detection. Overall, this study provides insight into programming with Kotlin coroutines concurrency and its pitfalls, aiming to shed light on common bug patterns and foster further research and development of concurrency analysis tools for Kotlin programs.

Effect Semantics for Quantum Process Calculi

Authors: Lorenzo Ceragioli, Fabio Gadducci, Giuseppe Lomurno, and Gabriele Tedeschi

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

Abstract
The development of quantum communication protocols sparked the interest in quantum extensions of process calculi and behavioural equivalences, but defining a bisimilarity that matches the observational properties of a quantum-capable system is a surprisingly difficult task. The two proposals explicitly addressing this issue, qCCS and lqCCS, do not define an algorithmic verification scheme: the bisimilarity of two processes is proven by comparing their behaviour under all input states. We introduce a new semantic model based on effects, i.e. probabilistic predicates on quantum states that represent their observable properties. We define and investigate the properties of effect distributions and effect labelled transition systems (eLTSs), generalizing probability distributions and probabilistic labelled transition systems (pLTSs), respectively. As a proof of concept, we provide an eLTS-based semantics for a minimal quantum process algebra, which we prove sound and complete with respect to the observable probabilistic behaviour of quantum processes. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first algorithmically verifiable proposal that abides to the properties of quantum theory.

Behavioural Metrics: Compositionality of the Kantorovich Lifting and an Application to Up-To Techniques

Authors: Keri D'Angelo, Sebastian Gurke, Johanna Maria Kirss, Barbara König, Matina Najafi, Wojciech Różowski, and Paul Wild

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

Abstract
Behavioural distances of transition systems modelled via coalgebras for endofunctors generalize traditional notions of behavioural equivalence to a quantitative setting, in which states are equipped with a measure of how (dis)similar they are. Endowing transition systems with such distances essentially relies on the ability to lift functors describing the one-step behavior of the transition systems to the category of pseudometric spaces. We consider the category theoretic generalization of the Kantorovich lifting from transportation theory to the case of lifting functors to quantale-valued relations, which subsumes equivalences, preorders and (directed) metrics. We use tools from fibred category theory, which allow one to see the Kantorovich lifting as arising from an appropriate fibred adjunction. Our main contributions are compositionality results for the Kantorovich lifting, where we show that that the lifting of a composed functor coincides with the composition of the liftings. In addition, we describe how to lift distributive laws in the case where one of the two functors is polynomial (with finite coproducts). These results are essential ingredients for adapting up-to-techniques to the case of quantale-valued behavioural distances. Up-to techniques are a well-known coinductive technique for efficiently showing lower bounds for behavioural distances. We illustrate the results of our paper in two case studies.

A PSPACE Algorithm for Almost-Sure Rabin Objectives in Multi-Environment MDPs

Authors: Marnix Suilen, Marck van der Vegt, and Sebastian Junges

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

Abstract
Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) model systems with uncertain transition dynamics. Multiple-environment MDPs (MEMDPs) extend MDPs. They intuitively reflect finite sets of MDPs that share the same state and action spaces but differ in the transition dynamics. The key objective in MEMDPs is to find a single strategy that satisfies a given objective in every associated MDP. The main result of this paper is PSPACE-completeness for almost-sure Rabin objectives in MEMDPs. This result clarifies the complexity landscape for MEMDPs and contrasts with results for the more general class of partially observable MDPs (POMDPs), where almost-sure reachability is already EXP-complete, and almost-sure Rabin objectives are undecidable.

A Categorical Approach to DIBI Models

Authors: Tao Gu, Jialu Bao, Justin Hsu, Alexandra Silva, and Fabio Zanasi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)

Abstract
The logic of Dependence and Independence Bunched Implications (DIBI) is a logic to reason about conditional independence (CI); for instance, DIBI formulas can characterise CI in discrete probability distributions and in relational databases, using a probabilistic DIBI model and a similarly-constructed relational model. Despite the similarity of the two models, there lacks a uniform account. As a result, the laborious case-by-case verification of the frame conditions required for constructing new models hinders them from generalising the results to CI in other useful models such that continuous distribution. In this paper, we develop an abstract framework for systematically constructing DIBI models, using category theory as the unifying mathematical language. We show that DIBI models arise from arbitrary symmetric monoidal categories with copy-discard structure. In particular, we use string diagrams - a graphical presentation of monoidal categories - to give a uniform definition of the parallel composition and subkernel relation in DIBI models. Our approach not only generalises known models, but also yields new models of interest and reduces properties of DIBI models to structures in the underlying categories. Furthermore, our categorical framework enables a comparison between string diagrammatic approaches to CI in the literature and a logical notion of CI, defined in terms of the satisfaction of specific DIBI formulas. We show that the logical notion is an extension of string diagrammatic CI under reasonable conditions.

Semantics for a Turing-Complete Reversible Programming Language with Inductive Types

Authors: Kostia Chardonnet, Louis Lemonnier, and Benoît Valiron

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)

Abstract
This paper is concerned with the expressivity and denotational semantics of a functional higher-order reversible programming language based on Theseus. In this language, pattern-matching is used to ensure the reversibility of functions. We show how one can encode any Reversible Turing Machine in said language. We then build a sound and adequate categorical semantics based on join inverse categories, with additional structures to capture pattern-matching and to interpret inductive types and recursion. We then derive a notion of completeness in the sense that any computable, partial, first-order injective function is the image of a term in the language.

Optimizing Per-Core Priorities to Minimize End-To-End Latencies

Authors: Francesco Paladino, Alessandro Biondi, Enrico Bini, and Paolo Pazzaglia

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 298, 36th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2024)

Abstract
Logical Execution Time (LET) allows decoupling the schedule of real-time periodic tasks from their communication, with the advantage of isolating the communication pattern from the variability of the schedule. However, when such tasks are organized in chains, the usage of LET at the task level does not necessarily transfer the same LET properties to the chain level. In this paper, we extend a LET-like model from tasks to chains spanning over multiple cores. We leverage the designed constant latency chains to optimize per-core priority assignment. Finally, we also provide a set of heuristic algorithms, that are compared in a large-scale experimental evaluation.

We prove that every finitely generated convex set of finitely supported probability distributions has a unique base. We apply this result to provide an alternative proof of a recent result: the algebraic theory of convex semilattices presents the monad of convex sets of probability distributions.

Nawrotzki’s Algorithm for the Countable Splitting Lemma, Constructively ((Co)algebraic pearls)

Authors: Ana Sokolova and Harald Woracek

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 211, 9th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2021)

Abstract
We reprove the countable splitting lemma by adapting Nawrotzki’s algorithm which produces a sequence that converges to a solution. Our algorithm combines Nawrotzki’s approach with taking finite cuts. It is constructive in the sense that each term of the iteratively built approximating sequence as well as the error between the approximants and the solution is computable with finitely many algebraic operations.

Matching mu-Logic: Foundation of K Framework (Invited Paper)

Authors: Xiaohong Chen and Grigore Roşu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 139, 8th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2019)

Abstract
K framework is an effort in realizing the ideal language framework where programming languages must have formal semantics and all languages tools are automatically generated from the formal semantics in a correct-by-construction manner at no additional costs. In this extended abstract, we present matching mu-logic as the foundation of K and discuss some of its applications in defining constructors, transition systems, modal mu-logic and temporal logic variants, and reachability logic.
