Approximate planning and verification for large markov decision processes
2012
Proceedings of the 27th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing - SAC '12
We study the planning and verification problems for very large or infinite probabilistic systems, like Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), from a complexity point of view. ...
The complexity of the approximation method is independent of the size of the state space and uses only a probabilistic generator of the MDP. ...

From software verification to 'everyware' verification
2013
Computer Science - Research and Development
In this paper we describe the objectives and initial progress of the research aimed at extending the capabilities of quantitative, probabilistic verification to challenging ubiquitous computing scenarios ...
The research involves investigating the fundamentals of quantitative verification, development of algorithms and prototype implementations, and experimenting with case studies. ...
Probabilistic reachability then refers to the probability of reaching a given set of states and is a key concept for quantitative verification on which verification of more complex properties is based. ...

Analysing Randomized Distributed Algorithms
[chapter]
2004
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
However, this comes at a cost: the analysis of such systems become very complex, particularly in the context of distributed computation. ...
The appeal of randomized algorithms is their simplicity and elegance. ...
The advantage of this decomposition of the verification problem is that simpler non-probabilistic methods can be used in the majority of the analysis, while the more complex probabilistic verification ...

We therefore switch to the probabilistic case and study the probabilistic complexity of verification as a function of the error tolerance E and the probability of failure 6. ...
For fixed 6 and small E, the complexity of verification is zero, whereas for fixed E and small 8 the complexity of verification is essentially a function of only 8 and may be exponentially harder than ...

2013
Proceedings of the 2013 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining
We develop both probabilistic and deterministic verification methods to catch the incorrect clustering result by the service provider. ...
To this end, in this paper, we provide a focused study about how to perform integrity verification of the k-means clustering task outsourced to an IaaS provider. ...
