Abstract
The Enabling Personalized Interventions (EPI) project, part of the COMMIT2DATA top sector initiative, brings together research on data science, software-defined network infrastructure, and secure and trustworthy data sharing, executed within the healthcare domain. The project applies the digital twin paradigm, in which data science-driven algorithms monitor and perform functions on a digital counterpart of a real-world entity, to enable proactive responses based on predicted outcomes. The EPI project applies this paradigm in the healthcare context by developing and testing applications that can act as personalized digital health twins for self/-joint management. The EPI project addresses several challenges to digital twin applications in the healthcare domain, such as: 1) strict health data sharing policies often lead to data being locked in silos, 2) legal, policy and privacy requirements make data processing increasingly more complex, and 3) significant limitations on infrastructure resources may apply. In this paper, we report on the use cases the EPI used as the basis to develop possible solutions to these challenges. In particular, we describe algorithms and tools for algorithmic real-time response and analysis of distributed data at scale. We discuss the automatic enforcement of legal interpretations and data-sharing conditions as executable policies. Finally, we investigate infrastructural challenges by implementing and experimenting with the EPI Framework - consisting of a distributed analysis infrastructure and BRANE for orchestrating multi-site applications. We conclude by describing our Proof of Concept (PoC) and showing its application to one of the EPI use cases.

SubModST: A Fast Generic Solver for Submodular Maximization with Size Constraints

Authors: Henning Martin Woydt, Christian Komusiewicz, and Frank Sommer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 308, 32nd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2024)

Abstract
In the Cardinality-Constrained Maximization (Minimization) problem the input is a universe 𝒰, a function f: 2^{{𝒰}} → ℝ, and an integer k, and the task is to find a set S ⊆ 𝒰 with |S| ≤ k that maximizes (minimizes) f(S). Many well-studied problems such as Facility Location, Partial Dominating Set, Group Closeness Centrality and Euclidean k-Medoid Clustering are special cases of Cardinality-Constrained Maximization (Minimization). All the above-mentioned problems have the diminishing return property, that is, the improvement of adding an element e ∈ 𝒰 to a set S is at least as large as adding e to any superset of S. This property is called submodularity for maximization problems and supermodularity for minimization problems. In this work we develop a new exact branch-and-cut algorithm SubModST for the generic Submodular Cardinality-Constrained Maximization and Supermodular Cardinality-Constrained Minimization. We develop several speed-ups for SubModST and we show their effectiveness on six example problems. We show that SubModST outperforms the state-of-the-art solvers developed by Csókás and Vinkó [J. Glob. Optim. '24] and Uematsu et al. [J. Oper. Res. Soc. Japan '20] for Submodular Cardinality-Constrained Maximization by orders of magnitudes.

CrudiTEE: A Stick-And-Carrot Approach to Building Trustworthy Cryptocurrency Wallets with TEEs

Authors: Lulu Zhou, Zeyu Liu, Fan Zhang, and Michael K. Reiter

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 316, 6th Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT 2024)

Abstract
Cryptocurrency introduces usability challenges by requiring users to manage signing keys. Popular signing key management services (e.g., custodial wallets), however, either introduce a trusted party or burden users with managing signing key shares, posing the same usability challenges. TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) is a promising technology to avoid both, but practical implementations of TEEs suffer from various side-channel attacks that have proven hard to eliminate. This paper explores a new approach to side-channel mitigation through economic incentives for TEE-based cryptocurrency wallet solutions. By taking the cost and profit of side-channel attacks into consideration, we designed a Stick-and-Carrot-based cryptocurrency wallet, CrudiTEE, that leverages penalties (the stick) and rewards (the carrot) to disincentivize attackers from exfiltrating signing keys in the first place. We model the attacker’s behavior using a Markov Decision Process (MDP) to evaluate the effectiveness of the bounty and enable the service provider to adjust the parameters of the bounty’s reward function accordingly.

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.

Inductive Predicate Synthesis Modulo Programs

Authors: Scott Wesley, Maria Christakis, Jorge A. Navas, Richard Trefler, Valentin Wüstholz, and Arie Gurfinkel

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

Abstract
A growing trend in program analysis is to encode verification conditions within the language of the input program. This simplifies the design of analysis tools by utilizing off-the-shelf verifiers, but makes communication with the underlying solver more challenging. Essentially, the analysis tools operates at the level of input programs, whereas the solver operates at the level of problem encodings. To bridge this gap, the verifier must pass along proof-rules from the analysis tool to the solver. For example, an analysis tool for concurrent programs built on an inductive program verifier might need to declare Owicki-Gries style proof-rules for the underlying solver. Each such proof-rule further specifies how a program should be verified, meaning that the problem of passing proof-rules is a form of invariant synthesis. Similarly, many program analysis tasks reduce to the synthesis of pure, loop-free Boolean functions (i.e., predicates), relative to a program. From this observation, we propose Inductive Predicate Synthesis Modulo Programs (IPS-MP) which extends high-level languages with minimal synthesis features to guide analysis. In IPS-MP, unknown predicates appear under assume and assert statements, acting as specifications modulo the program semantics. Existing synthesis solvers are inefficient at IPS-MP as they target more general problems. In this paper, we show that IPS-MP admits an efficient solution in the Boolean case, despite being generally undecidable. Moreover, we show that IPS-MP reduces to the satisfiability of constrained Horn clauses, which is less general than existing synthesis problems, yet expressive enough to encode verification tasks. We provide reductions from challenging verification tasks - such as parameterized model checking - to IPS-MP. We realize these reductions with an efficient IPS-MP-solver based on SeaHorn, and describe a real-world application to smart-contract verification.

A Generalised Union of Rely-Guarantee and Separation Logic Using Permission Algebras

Authors: Vincent Jackson, Toby Murray, and Christine Rizkallah

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

Abstract
This paper describes GenRGSep, an Isabelle/HOL library for the development of RGSep logics using a general algebraic state model. In particular, we develop an algebraic state models based on resource algebras that assume neither the presence of unit resources or the cancellativity law. If a new resource model is required, its components need only be proven an instance of a permission algebra, and then they can be composed together using tuples and functions. The proof of soundness is performed by Vafeiadis' operational soundness method. This method was originally formulated with respect to a concrete heap model. This paper adapts it to account for the absence of both units as well as the cancellativity law.

Passive Learning of Regular Data Languages in Polynomial Time and Data

Authors: Mrudula Balachander, Emmanuel Filiot, and Raffaella Gentilini

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

Abstract
A regular data language is a language over an infinite alphabet recognized by a deterministic register automaton (DRA), as defined by Benedikt, Ley and Puppis. The later model, which is expressively equivalent to the deterministic finite-memory automata introduced earlier by Francez and Kaminsky, enjoys unique minimal automata (up to isomorphism), based on a Myhill-Nerode theorem. In this paper, we introduce a polynomial time passive learning algorithm for regular data languages from positive and negative samples. Following Gold’s model for learning languages, we prove that our algorithm can identify in the limit any regular data language L, i.e. it returns a minimal DRA recognizing L if a characteristic sample set for L is provided as input. We prove that there exist characteristic sample sets of polynomial size with respect to the size of the minimal DRA recognizing L. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first passive learning algorithm for data languages, and the first learning algorithm which is fully polynomial, both with respect to time complexity and size of the characteristic sample set.

When Lawvere Meets Peirce: An Equational Presentation of Boolean Hyperdoctrines

Authors: Filippo Bonchi, Alessandro Di Giorgio, and Davide Trotta

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 306, 49th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2024)

Abstract
Fo-bicategories are a categorification of Peirce’s calculus of relations. Notably, their laws provide a proof system for first-order logic that is both purely equational and complete. This paper illustrates a correspondence between fo-bicategories and Lawvere’s hyperdoctrines. To streamline our proof, we introduce peircean bicategories, which offer a more succinct characterization of fo-bicategories.

Meaningfulness and Genericity in a Subsuming Framework (Invited Talk)

Authors: Delia Kesner, Victor Arrial, and Giulio Guerrieri

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

Abstract
This paper studies the notion of meaningfulness for a unifying framework called dBang-calculus, which subsumes both call-by-name (dCBN) and call-by-value (dCBV). We first define meaningfulness in dBang and then characterize it by means of typability and inhabitation in an associated non-idempotent intersection type system previously appearing in the literature. We validate the proposed notion of meaningfulness by showing two properties: (1) consistency of the smallest theory, called ℋ, equating all meaningless terms, and (2) genericity, stating that meaningless subterms have no bearing on the significance of meaningful terms. The theory ℋ is also shown to have a unique consistent and maximal extension ℋ*, which coincides with a well-known notion of observational equivalence. Last but not least, we show that the notions of meaningfulness and genericity in the literature for dCBN and dCBV are subsumed by the corresponding ones proposed here for the dBang-calculus.

Parameterized Approximation For Robust Clustering in Discrete Geometric Spaces

Authors: Fateme Abbasi, Sandip Banerjee, Jarosław Byrka, Parinya Chalermsook, Ameet Gadekar, Kamyar Khodamoradi, Dániel Marx, Roohani Sharma, and Joachim Spoerhase

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)

Abstract
We consider the well-studied Robust (k,z)-Clustering problem, which generalizes the classic k-Median, k-Means, and k-Center problems and arises in the domains of robust optimization [Anthony, Goyal, Gupta, Nagarajan, Math. Oper. Res. 2010] and in algorithmic fairness [Abbasi, Bhaskara, Venkatasubramanian, 2021 & Ghadiri, Samadi, Vempala, 2022]. Given a constant z ≥ 1, the input to Robust (k,z)-Clustering is a set P of n points in a metric space (M,δ), a weight function w: P → ℝ_{≥ 0} and a positive integer k. Further, each point belongs to one (or more) of the m many different groups S_1,S_2,…,S_m ⊆ P. Our goal is to find a set X of k centers such that max_{i ∈ [m]} ∑_{p ∈ S_i} w(p) δ(p,X)^z is minimized. Complementing recent work on this problem, we give a comprehensive understanding of the parameterized approximability of the problem in geometric spaces where the parameter is the number k of centers. We prove the following results: [(i)] 1) For a universal constant η₀ > 0.0006, we devise a 3^z(1-η₀)-factor FPT approximation algorithm for Robust (k,z)-Clustering in discrete high-dimensional Euclidean spaces where the set of potential centers is finite. This shows that the lower bound of 3^z for general metrics [Goyal, Jaiswal, Inf. Proc. Letters, 2023] no longer holds when the metric has geometric structure. 2) We show that Robust (k,z)-Clustering in discrete Euclidean spaces is (√{3/2}- o(1))-hard to approximate for FPT algorithms, even if we consider the special case k-Center in logarithmic dimensions. This rules out a (1+ε)-approximation algorithm running in time f(k,ε)poly(m,n) (also called efficient parameterized approximation scheme or EPAS), giving a striking contrast with the recent EPAS for the continuous setting where centers can be placed anywhere in the space [Abbasi et al., FOCS'23]. 3) However, we obtain an EPAS for Robust (k,z)-Clustering in discrete Euclidean spaces when the dimension is sublogarithmic (for the discrete problem, earlier work [Abbasi et al., FOCS'23] provides an EPAS only in dimension o(log log n)). Our EPAS works also for metrics of sub-logarithmic doubling dimension.

Renyi Entropy Estimation Revisited

Authors: Maciej Obremski and Maciej Skorski

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 81, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2017)

Abstract
We revisit the problem of estimating entropy of discrete distributions from independent samples, studied recently by Acharya, Orlitsky, Suresh and Tyagi (SODA 2015), improving their upper and lower bounds on the necessary sample size n. For estimating Renyi entropy of order alpha, up to constant accuracy and error probability, we show the following * Upper bounds n = O(1) 2^{(1-1/alpha)H_alpha} for integer alpha>1, as the worst case over distributions with Renyi entropy equal to H_alpha. * Lower bounds n = Omega(1) K^{1-1/alpha} for any real alpha>1, with the constant being an inverse polynomial of the accuracy, as the worst case over all distributions on K elements. Our upper bounds essentially replace the alphabet size by a factor exponential in the entropy, which offers improvements especially in low or medium entropy regimes (interesting for example in anomaly detection). As for the lower bounds, our proof explicitly shows how the complexity depends on both alphabet and accuracy, partially solving the open problem posted in previous works. The argument for upper bounds derives a clean identity for the variance of falling-power sum of a multinomial distribution. Our approach for lower bounds utilizes convex optimization to find a distribution with possibly worse estimation performance, and may be of independent interest as a tool to work with Le Cam’s two point method.

New Developments in Iterated Rounding (Invited Talk)

Authors: Nikhil Bansal

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 29, 34th International Conference on Foundation of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2014)

Abstract
Iterated rounding is a relatively recent technique in algorithm design, that despite its simplicity has led to several remarkable new results and also simpler proofs of many previous results. We will briefly survey some applications of the method, including some recent developments and giving a high level overview of the ideas.
