Revisit the Scheduling Problem with Calibrations

Authors: Lin Chen, Yixiong Gao, Minming Li, Guohui Lin, and Kai Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 322, 35th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2024)

Abstract
The research about scheduling with calibrations was initiated from the Integrated Stockpile Evaluation (ISE) program which tests nuclear weapons periodically. The tests for these weapons require calibrations that are expensive in the monetary sense. This model has many industrial applications where the machines need to be calibrated periodically to ensure high-quality products, including robotics and digital cameras. In 2013, Bender et al. (SPAA '13) proposed a theoretical framework for the ISE problem. In this model, a machine can only be trusted to run a job when it is calibrated and the calibration remains valid for a time period of length T, after which it must be recalibrated before running more jobs. The objective is to find a schedule that completes all jobs by their deadlines and minimizes the total number of calibrations. In this paper, we study the scheduling problem with calibrations on multiple parallel machines where we consider unit-time processing jobs with release times and deadlines. We propose a dynamic programming algorithm with polynomial running time when the number of machines is constant. Then, we propose another dynamic programming approach with polynomial running time when the length of the calibrated period is constant. Also, we propose a PTAS, that is, for any constant ε > 0, we give a (1+ε) - approximation solution with m machines.

A Model-Based Approach for Monitoring and Diagnosing Digital Twin Discrepancies

Authors: Elaheh Hosseinkhani, Martin Leucker, Martin Sachenbacher, Hendrik Streichhahn, and Lars B. Vosteen

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 125, 35th International Conference on Principles of Diagnosis and Resilient Systems (DX 2024)

Abstract
Recent decades have seen the increasing use of Digital Twins (DTs) - that is, digital models used over the lifetime of a physical product or system for tasks such as predictive maintenance or optimization - in a number of domains such as buildings, manufacturing, or design. DTs face a challenge known as the DT synchronization problem; a DT, often based on machine-learned, or complex simulation models, needs to adequately mirror the physical product or system at all times, as any deviations might affect the quality of predictions or control actions. In this paper, we present a model-based approach that aims to add a level of awareness to DT models by supervising if they are in sync with the physical counterpart. The approach is agnostic to the type of models used in the DT, as long as they are compositional, and based on monitoring critical properties (behavioral or functional aspects) of the system at run-time. In the case violations are detected, it reasons on the DT’s structure to localize and identify parts of the model that cause deviations and need to be adapted. We give a formal description and an implementation of this approach, and illustrate it with an example from building climatisation.

DeFiAligner: Leveraging Symbolic Analysis and Large Language Models for Inconsistency Detection in Decentralized Finance

Authors: Rundong Gan, Liyi Zhou, Le Wang, Kaihua Qin, and Xiaodong Lin

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

Abstract
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has witnessed a monumental surge, reaching 53.039 billion USD in total value locked. As this sector continues to expand, ensuring the reliability of DeFi smart contracts becomes increasingly crucial. While some users are adept at reading code or the compiled bytecode to understand smart contracts, many rely on documentation. Therefore, discrepancies between the documentation and the deployed code can pose significant risks, whether these discrepancies are due to errors or intentional fraud. To tackle these challenges, we developed DeFiAligner, an end-to-end system to identify inconsistencies between documentation and smart contracts. DeFiAligner incorporates a symbolic execution tool, SEVM, which explores execution paths of on-chain binary code, recording memory and stack states. It automatically generates symbolic expressions for token balance changes and branch conditions, which, along with related project documents, are processed by LLMs. Using structured prompts, the LLMs evaluate the alignment between the symbolic expressions and the documentation. Our tests across three distinct scenarios demonstrate DeFiAligner’s capability to automate inconsistency detection in DeFi, achieving recall rates of 92% and 90% on two public datasets respectively.

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.

Improving Local Search for Minimum Weighted Connected Dominating Set Problem by Inner-Layer Local Search

Authors: Bohan Li, Kai Wang, Yiyuan Wang, and Shaowei Cai

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 210, 27th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2021)

Abstract
The minimum weighted connected dominating set (MWCDS) problem is an important variant of connected dominating set problems with wide applications, especially in heterogenous networks and gene regulatory networks. In the paper, we develop a nested local search algorithm called NestedLS for solving MWCDS on classic benchmarks and massive graphs. In this local search framework, we propose two novel ideas to make it effective by utilizing previous search information. First, we design the restart based smoothing mechanism as a diversification method to escape from local optimal. Second, we propose a novel inner-layer local search method to enlarge the candidate removal set, which can be modelled as an optimized version of spanning tree problem. Moreover, inner-layer local search method is a general method for maintaining the connectivity constraint when dealing with massive graphs. Experimental results show that NestedLS outperforms state-of-the-art meta-heuristic algorithms on most instances.

An FPTAS of Minimizing Total Weighted Completion Time on Single Machine with Position Constraint

Authors: Gruia Calinescu, Florian Jaehn, Minming Li, and Kai Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 92, 28th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2017)

Abstract
In this paper we study the classical scheduling problem of minimizing the total weighted completion time on a single machine with the constraint that one specific job must be scheduled at a specified position. We give dynamic programs with pseudo-polynomial running time, and a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS).
