Scheduler-Quantified Time-Bounded Reachability for Distributed Input/Output Interactive Probabilistic Chains

Acknowledgements Many people have helped getting this thesis to its present state. I sincerely thank them all. First of all, I would like to thank professor Holger Hermanns for bringing forth such an interesting topic of investigation. I am also grateful to professor Bernd Finkbeiner for the helpful recent discussions we've had and for accepting to be a reviewer of my thesis. I am especially thankful to Pepijn Crouzen, my advisor, for his always competent and timely suggestions and remarks, as well as for his calm straightforwardness, which helped greatly to keep my work on track. Thank you very much! Without the help of Ernst Moritz Hahn, Pedro D'Argenio and Lijun Zhang, much of the thesis content would not be as clear as one may find it now. You all have my gratitude! Furthermore, I would like to thank my colleagues and friends, and especially to Raphael Reischuk, Markus Rabe and Mihai Grigore for reading parts of my thesis and offering helpful advice which I truly value. Last, but certainly first in my heart, my deepest gratitude goes to my parents and elder sisters for their continued support during my studies. Thank you!
