Bit-Precise Reasoning with Parametric Bit-Vectors

Authors: Zvika Berger, Yoni Zohar, Aina Niemetz, Mathias Preiner, Andrew Reynolds, Clark Barrett, and Cesare Tinelli

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

Abstract
The SMT-LIB theory of bit-vectors is restricted to bit-vectors of fixed width. However, several important applications can benefit from reasoning about bit-vectors of symbolic widths, i.e., parametric bit-vectors. Recent work has introduced an approach for solving formulas over parametric bit-vectors, via an eager translation to quantified integer arithmetic with uninterpreted functions. The approach was shown to be successful for several applications, including the bit-width independent verification of compiler optimizations, invertibility conditions, and rewrite rules. We extend and improve that approach in several aspects. Theoretically, we improve expressiveness by defining a new theory of parametric bit-vectors that supports more operators and allows reasoning about the bit-widths themselves. Algorithmically, we introduce a lazy algorithm that avoids the use of uninterpreted functions and quantified axioms for them. Empirically, we show a significant improvement by implementing and evaluating our approach, and comparing it experimentally to the previous one.

Theoretical Foundations of Utility Accrual for Real-Time Systems

Authors: Jian-Jia Chen, Junjie Shi, Mario Günzel, Georg von der Brüggen, Kuan-Hsun Chen, and Peter Bella

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 335, 37th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2025)

Abstract
Providing guaranteed quantification of properties of soft real-time systems is important in practice to ensure that a system performs correctly most of the time. We study utility accrual for real-time systems, in which the utility of a real-time job is defined as a time utility function with respect to its response time. Essentially, we answer the fundamental questions: Does the utility accrual of a periodic real-time task in the long run converge to a single value? If yes, to which value? We first show that concrete problem instances exist where evaluating the utility accrual by simulating the scheduling algorithm or conducting scheduling experiments in a long run is erroneous. Afterwards, we show how to construct a Markov chain to model the interactions between the scheduling policy, the probabilistic workload of a periodic real-time task, the service provided by the system to serve the task, and the effect on the utility accrual. For such a Markov chain, we also provide the theoretical fundamentals to determine whether the utility accrual converges in the long run and the derivation of the utility accrual if it converges.

On Assessing ML Model Robustness: A Methodological Framework (Academic Track)

Authors: Afef Awadid and Boris Robert

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 126, Symposium on Scaling AI Assessments (SAIA 2024)

Abstract
Due to their uncertainty and vulnerability to adversarial attacks, machine learning (ML) models can lead to severe consequences, including the loss of human life, when embedded in safety-critical systems such as autonomous vehicles. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the empirical robustness of such models before integrating them into these systems. ML model robustness refers to the ability of an ML model to be insensitive to input perturbations and maintain its performance. Against this background, the Confiance.ai research program proposes a methodological framework for assessing the empirical robustness of ML models. The framework encompasses methodological processes (guidelines) captured in Capella models, along with a set of supporting tools. This paper aims to provide an overview of this framework and its application in an industrial setting.

From FMTV to WATERS: Lessons Learned from the First Verification Challenge at ECRTS (Invited Paper)

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 262, 35th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2023)

Abstract
We present here the main features and lessons learned from the first edition of what has now become the ECRTS industrial challenge, together with the final description of the challenge and a comparative overview of the proposed solutions. This verification challenge, proposed by Thales, was first discussed in 2014 as part of a dedicated workshop (FMTV, a satellite event of the FM 2014 conference), and solutions were discussed for the first time at the WATERS 2015 workshop. The use case for the verification challenge is an aerial video tracking system. A specificity of this system lies in the fact that periods are constant but known with a limited precision only. The first part of the challenge focuses on the video frame processing system. It consists in computing maximum values of the end-to-end latency of the frames sent by the camera to the display, for two different buffer sizes, and then the minimum duration between two consecutive frame losses. The second challenge is about computing end-to-end latencies on the tracking and camera control for two different values of jitter. Solutions based on five different tools - Fiacre/Tina, CPAL (simulation and analysis), IMITATOR, UPPAAL and MAST - were submitted for discussion at WATERS 2015. While none of these solutions provided a full answer to the challenge, a combination of several of them did allow to draw some conclusions.

Real-Time Scheduling on Uni- and Multiprocessors based on Priority Promotions

Authors: Risat Mahmud Pathan

Published in: LITES, Volume 3, Issue 1 (2016). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 3, Issue 1

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of real-time scheduling of a set of sporadic tasks on uni- and multiprocessor platform based on priority promotion. A new preemptive scheduling algorithm, called Fixed-Priority with Priority Promotion (FPP), is proposed. In FPP scheduling, tasks are executed similar to traditional fixed-priority (FP) scheduling but the priority of some tasks are promoted at fixed time interval (called, promotion point) relative to the release time of each job. A policy called Increase Priority at Deadline Difference (IPDD) to compute the promotion points and promoted priorities for each task is proposed. FPP scheduling prioritizes jobs according to Earliest-Deadline-First (EDF) priority when all tasks' priorities follow IPDD policy.It is known that managing (i.e., inserting and removing) jobs in the ready queue of traditional EDF scheduler is more complex than that of FP scheduler. To avoid such problem in FPP scheduling, a simple data structure and efficient operations to manage jobs in the ready queue are proposed. In addition, techniques for implementing priority promotions with and without the use of a hardware timer are proposed.Finally, an effective scheme to reduce the average number of priority promotions is proposed: if a task set is not schedulable using traditional FP scheduling, then promotion points are assigned only to those tasks that need them to meet the deadlines; otherwise, tasks are assigned traditional fixed priorities without any priority promotion. Empirical investigation shows the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in reducing overhead on uniprocessor and in accepting larger number of task sets in comparison to that of using state-of-the-art global schedulability tests for multiprocessors.
