Symbolic Verification of Communicating Systems with Probabilistic Message Losses: Liveness and Fairness
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
NPLCS's are a new model for nondeterministic channel systems where unreliable communication is modeled by probabilistic message losses. ...
The symbolic procedure underlying our decidability proofs has been implemented and used to study a simple protocol handling two-way transfers in an unreliable setting. ...
This prompted us to introduce NPLCS's, i.e., channel systems where message losses are probabilistic and actions are nondeterministic [13, 14] . ...

Liveness and Fairness in Process-Algebraic Verification
[chapter]
2001
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Although liveness and fairness have been used for a long time in classical model checking, with process-algebraic methods they have seen far less use. ...
One problem is combining fairness with the compositionality of process algebra. In this article we analyse this problem, and then present an approach for using a class of fairness constraints. ...

The Verification of Probabilistic Lossy Channel Systems
[chapter]
2004
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Several probabilistic versions of these systems have been proposed in recent years, with the two aims of modeling more faithfully the losses of messages, and circumventing undecidabilities by some kind ...
Lossy channel systems (LCS's) are systems of finite state automata that communicate via unreliable unbounded fifo channels. ...
Then, any message is lost with probability p loss (and kept with probability 1 − p loss ). 4. ...

Formal Specification and Verification of Communication in Network-On-Chip: An Overview
2018

Network-On-Chip (NOC) is an emerging paradigm to surmount traditional bus based Systems-On-Chip (SOC) limits especially scalability and communication performances. ...
In this paper we try to giva an overview of the most famous formal methods applied to the verification of communication inside NOCs. ...
Using PRISM, the OASIS NOC behaves as a message buffer; receiving and delivering flits without any losses. ...

The 10,000 Facets of MDP Model Checking
[chapter]
2019
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We discuss in particular the manifold facets of this field of research by surveying the verification of various MDP extensions, rich classes of properties, and their applications. ...
We survey the basic ingredients of MDP model checking and discuss its enormous developments since the seminal works by Courcoubetis and Yannakakis in the early 1990s. ...
Countably infinite variants of MDPs include probabilistic lossy channel systems [7] where message losses have a probabilistic behavior while the component finite-state processes behave nondeterministically ...

Modeling and Efficient Verification of Broadcasting Actors
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
However, the actor model for concurrent and distributed systems does not directly support this kind of communication. ...
In such cases, a broadcast must be modeled as multiple unicasts which leads to loss of modularity and state space explosion for any non-trivial system. ...
Rebecs communicate with other rebecs only through message-passing which is fair and asynchronous. ...

Automatic Synthesis of Distributed Protocols
2017
ACM SIGACT News
Traditionally a distributed protocol is modeled as a set of communicating finite-state processes. The correctness is specified by both safety and liveness requirements. ...
model of the environment, and given a set of safety and liveness requirements, find a completion of the FSMs for the processes such that the composition satisfies all the requirements. ...

Simulating perfect channels with probabilistic lossy channels
2005
Information and Computation
Under assumptions of "sufficiently high" probability of loss, Baier and Engelen have shown how to check whether a property holds of probabilistic lossy channel system with probability 1. ...
We focus our attention on the model of probabilistic lossy channel systems consisting of finite-state processes that communicate over unbounded lossy FIFO channels. ...
Given that we are dealing with imperfections in the communication medium it is then natural to consider models of communicating processes where the probability of message loss is taken into account. ...
