Second-Order Generalised Algebraic Theories: Signatures and First-Order Semantics

Authors: Ambrus Kaposi and Szumi Xie

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

Abstract
Programming languages can be defined from the concrete to the abstract by abstract syntax trees, well-scoped syntax, well-typed (intrinsic) syntax, algebraic syntax (well-typed syntax quotiented by conversion). Another aspect is the representation of binding structure for which nominal approaches, De Bruijn indices/levels and higher order abstract syntax (HOAS) are available. In HOAS, binders are given by the function space of an internal language of presheaves. In this paper, we show how to combine the algebraic approach with the HOAS approach: following Uemura, we define languages as second-order generalised algebraic theories (SOGATs). Through a series of examples we show that non-substructural languages can be naturally defined as SOGATs. We give a formal definition of SOGAT signatures (using the syntax of a particular SOGAT) and define two translations from SOGAT signatures to GAT signatures (signatures for quotient inductive-inductive types), based on parallel and single substitutions, respectively.

Optimizing a Non-Deterministic Abstract Machine with Environments

Authors: Małgorzata Biernacka, Dariusz Biernacki, Sergueï Lenglet, and Alan Schmitt

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

Abstract
Non-deterministic abstract machine (NDAM) is a recent implementation model for programming languages where one must choose among several redexes at each reduction step, like process calculi. These machines can be derived from a zipper semantics, a mix between structural operational semantics and context-based reduction semantics. Such a machine has been generated also for the λ-calculus without a fixed reduction strategy, i.e., with the full non-deterministic β-reduction. In that machine, substitution is an external operation that replaces all the occurrences of a variable at once. Implementing substitution with environments is more low-level and more efficient as variables are replaced only when needed. In this paper, we define a NDAM with environments for the λ-calculus without a fixed reduction strategy. We also introduce other optimizations, including a form of refocusing, and we show that we can restrict our optimized NDAM to recover some of the usual λ-calculus machines, e.g., the Krivine Abstract Machine. Most of the improvements we propose in this work could be applied to other NDAMs as well.

Mirroring Call-By-Need, or Values Acting Silly

Authors: Beniamino Accattoli and Adrienne Lancelot

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

Abstract
Call-by-need evaluation for the λ-calculus can be seen as merging the best of call-by-name and call-by-value, namely the wise erasing behaviour of the former and the wise duplicating behaviour of the latter. To better understand how duplication and erasure can be combined, we design a degenerated calculus, dubbed call-by-silly, that is symmetric to call-by-need in that it merges the worst of call-by-name and call-by-value, namely silly duplications by-name and silly erasures by-value. We validate the design of the call-by-silly calculus via rewriting properties and multi types. In particular, we mirror the main theorem about call-by-need - that is, its operational equivalence with call-by-name - showing that call-by-silly and call-by-value induce the same contextual equivalence. This fact shows the blindness with respect to efficiency of call-by-value contextual equivalence. We also define a call-by-silly strategy and measure its length via tight multi types. Lastly, we prove that the call-by-silly strategy computes evaluation sequences of maximal length in the calculus.

Two-Dimensional Kripke Semantics I: Presheaves

Authors: G. A. Kavvos

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

Abstract
The study of modal logic has witnessed tremendous development following the introduction of Kripke semantics. However, recent developments in programming languages and type theory have led to a second way of studying modalities, namely through their categorical semantics. We show how the two correspond.

Finite-Memory Strategies for Almost-Sure Energy-MeanPayoff Objectives in MDPs

Authors: Mohan Dantam and Richard Mayr

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

Abstract
We consider finite-state Markov decision processes with the combined Energy-MeanPayoff objective. The controller tries to avoid running out of energy while simultaneously attaining a strictly positive mean payoff in a second dimension. We show that finite memory suffices for almost surely winning strategies for the Energy-MeanPayoff objective. This is in contrast to the closely related Energy-Parity objective, where almost surely winning strategies require infinite memory in general. We show that exponential memory is sufficient (even for deterministic strategies) and necessary (even for randomized strategies) for almost surely winning Energy-MeanPayoff. The upper bound holds even if the strictly positive mean payoff part of the objective is generalized to multidimensional strictly positive mean payoff. Finally, it is decidable in pseudo-polynomial time whether an almost surely winning strategy exists.

Identifying Tractable Quantified Temporal Constraints Within Ord-Horn

Authors: Jakub Rydval, Žaneta Semanišinová, and Michał Wrona

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

Abstract
The constraint satisfaction problem, parameterized by a relational structure, provides a general framework for expressing computational decision problems. Already the restriction to the class of all finite structures forms an interesting microcosm on its own, but to express decision problems in temporal reasoning one has to take a step beyond the finite-domain realm. An important class of templates used in this context are temporal structures, i.e., structures over ℚ whose relations are first-order definable using the usual countable dense linear order without endpoints. In the standard setting, which allows only existential quantification over input variables, the complexity of finite and temporal constraints has been fully classified. In the quantified setting, i.e., when one also allows universal quantifiers, there is only a handful of partial classification results and many concrete cases of unknown complexity. This paper presents a significant progress towards understanding the complexity of the quantified constraint satisfaction problem for temporal structures. We provide a complexity dichotomy for quantified constraints over the Ord-Horn fragment, which played an important role in understanding the complexity of constraints both over temporal structures and in Allen’s interval algebra. We show that all problems under consideration are in P or coNP-hard. In particular, we determine the complexity of the quantified constraint satisfaction problem for (ℚ;x = y⇒ x ≥ z), hereby settling a question open for more than ten years.

Verification of Population Protocols with Unordered Data

Authors: Steffen van Bergerem, Roland Guttenberg, Sandra Kiefer, Corto Mascle, Nicolas Waldburger, and Chana Weil-Kennedy

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

Abstract
Population protocols are a well-studied model of distributed computation in which a group of anonymous finite-state agents communicates via pairwise interactions. Together they decide whether their initial configuration, i. e., the initial distribution of agents in the states, satisfies a property. As an extension in order to express properties of multisets over an infinite data domain, Blondin and Ladouceur (ICALP'23) introduced population protocols with unordered data (PPUD). In PPUD, each agent carries a fixed data value, and the interactions between agents depend on whether their data are equal or not. Blondin and Ladouceur also identified the interesting subclass of immediate observation PPUD (IOPPUD), where in every transition one of the two agents remains passive and does not move, and they characterised its expressive power. We study the decidability and complexity of formally verifying these protocols. The main verification problem for population protocols is well-specification, that is, checking whether the given PPUD computes some function. We show that well-specification is undecidable in general. By contrast, for IOPPUD, we exhibit a large yet natural class of problems, which includes well-specification among other classic problems, and establish that these problems are in ExpSpace. We also provide a lower complexity bound, namely coNExpTime-hardness.

On the Automated Verification of Web Applications with Embedded SQL

Authors: Shachar Itzhaky, Tomer Kotek, Noam Rinetzky, Mooly Sagiv, Orr Tamir, Helmut Veith, and Florian Zuleger

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 68, 20th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2017)

Abstract
A large number of web applications is based on a relational database together with a program, typically a script, that enables the user to interact with the database through embedded SQL queries and commands. In this paper, we introduce a method for formal automated verification of such systems which connects database theory to mainstream program analysis. We identify a fragment of SQL which captures the behavior of the queries in our case studies, is algorithmically decidable, and facilitates the construction of weakest preconditions. Thus, we can integrate the analysis of SQL queries into a program analysis tool chain. To this end, we implement a new decision procedure for the SQL fragment that we introduce. We demonstrate practical applicability of our results with three case studies, a web administrator, a simple firewall, and a conference management system.

Monadic Second Order Finite Satisfiability and Unbounded Tree-Width

Authors: Tomer Kotek, Helmut Veith, and Florian Zuleger

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 62, 25th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2016)

Abstract
The finite satisfiability problem of monadic second order logic is decidable only on classes of structures of bounded tree-width by the classic result of Seese. We prove that the following problem is decidable: Input: (i) A monadic second order logic sentence alpha, and (ii) a sentence beta in the two-variable fragment of first order logic extended with counting quantifiers. The vocabularies of alpha and beta may intersect. Output: Is there a finite structure which satisfies alpha and beta such that the restriction of the structure to the vocabulary of alpha has bounded tree-width? (The tree-width of the desired structure is not bounded.) As a consequence, we prove the decidability of the satisfiability problem by a finite structure of bounded tree-width of a logic MS^{exists card} extending monadic second order logic with linear cardinality constraints of the form |X_{1}|+...+|X_{r}| < |Y_{1}|+...+|Y_{s}| on the variables X_i, Y_j of the outer-most quantifier block. We prove the decidability of a similar extension of WS1S.

Local Linearizability for Concurrent Container-Type Data Structures

Authors: Andreas Haas, Thomas A. Henzinger, Andreas Holzer, Christoph M. Kirsch, Michael Lippautz, Hannes Payer, Ali Sezgin, Ana Sokolova, and Helmut Veith

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 59, 27th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2016)

Abstract
The semantics of concurrent data structures is usually given by a sequential specification and a consistency condition. Linearizability is the most popular consistency condition due to its simplicity and general applicability. Nevertheless, for applications that do not require all guarantees offered by linearizability, recent research has focused on improving performance and scalability of concurrent data structures by relaxing their semantics. In this paper, we present local linearizability, a relaxed consistency condition that is applicable to container-type concurrent data structures like pools, queues, and stacks. While linearizability requires that the effect of each operation is observed by all threads at the same time, local linearizability only requires that for each thread T, the effects of its local insertion operations and the effects of those removal operations that remove values inserted by T are observed by all threads at the same time. We investigate theoretical and practical properties of local linearizability and its relationship to many existing consistency conditions. We present a generic implementation method for locally linearizable data structures that uses existing linearizable data structures as building blocks. Our implementations show performance and scalability improvements over the original building blocks and outperform the fastest existing container-type implementations.

Parameterized Systems in BIP: Design and Model Checking

Authors: Igor Konnov, Tomer Kotek, Qiang Wang, Helmut Veith, Simon Bliudze, and Joseph Sifakis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 59, 27th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2016)

Abstract
BIP is a component-based framework for system design that has important industrial applications. BIP is built on three pillars: behavior, interaction, and priority. In this paper, we introduce first-order interaction logic (FOIL) that extends BIP to systems parameterized in the number of components. We show that FOIL captures classical parameterized architectures such as token-passing rings, cliques of identical components communicating with rendezvous or broadcast, and client-server systems. Although the BIP framework includes efficient verification tools for statically-defined systems, none are available for parameterized systems with an unbounded number of components. The parameterized model checking literature contains a wealth of techniques for systems of classical architectures. However, application of these results requires a deep understanding of parameterized model checking techniques and their underlying mathematical models. To overcome these difficulties, we introduce a framework that automatically identifies parameterized model checking techniques applicable to a BIP design. To our knowledge, it is the first framework that allows one to apply prominent parameterized model checking results in a systematic way.

On the Structure and Complexity of Rational Sets of Regular Languages

Authors: Andreas Holzer, Christian Schallhart, Michael Tautschnig, and Helmut Veith

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 24, IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2013)

Abstract
In the recently designed and implemented test specification language FQL, relevant test goals are specified as regular expressions over program locations. To transition from single test goals to test suites, FQL describes suites as regular expressions over finite alphabets where each symbol corresponds to a regular expression over program locations. Hence, each word in a test suite expression yields a test goal specification. Such test suite specifications are in fact rational sets of regular languages (RSRLs). We show closure properties of general and finite RSRLs under common set theoretic operations. We also prove complexity results for checking equivalence and inclusion of star-free RSRLs and for checking whether a regular language is a member of a general or star-free RSRL. As the star-free (and thus finite) case underlies FQL specifications, the closure and complexity results provide a systematic foundation for FQL test specifications.

Decision Procedures in Soft, Hard and Bio-ware - Follow Up (Dagstuhl Seminar 11272)

Authors: Nikolaj Bjorner, Robert Nieuwenhuis, Helmut Veith, and Andrei Voronkov

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 1, Issue 7 (2011)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 11272 "Decision Procedures in Soft, Hard and Bio-ware (Follow Up)". It was held as a follow-on for a seminar 10161, of the same title, that took place in late April 2010 during the initial eruption of Eyjafjallajökull. In spite of the travel disruptions caused by the eruption of the volcano, the original seminar received a respectable turnout by European, mainly German and Italian participants. Unfortunately, the eruption hindered participation from overseas or even more distant parts of Europe. This caused the seminar to cover only part of the original objective. The follow-on seminar focused on the remaining objectives, in particular to bio-ware and constraint solving methods.

Authors: Nikolaj Bjorner, Robert Nieuwenhuis, Helmut Veith, and Andrei Voronkov

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10161, Decision Procedures in Software, Hardware and Bioware (2010)

Abstract
The main goal of the seminar Decision Procedures in Soft, Hard and Bio-ware was to bring together renowned as well as young aspiring researchers from two groups. The first group formed by researchers who develop both theory and efficient implementations of decision procedures. The second group comprising of researchers from application areas such as program analysis and testing, crypto-analysis, hardware verification, industrial planning and scheduling, and bio-informatics, who have worked with, and contributed to, high quality decision procedures. The purpose of the seminar was to heighten awareness between tool and theory developers for decision procedures with the array of applications found in software, hardware and biological systems analysis.
