Don't Know in Probabilistic Systems
In this paper the abstraction-refinement paradigm based on 3-valued logics is extended to the setting of probabilistic systems. We define a notion of abstraction for Markov chains. To be able to relate the behavior of abstract and concrete systems, we equip the notion of abstraction with the concept of simulation. Furthermore, we present model checking for abstract probabilistic systems (abstra...
متن کاملProbabilistic Program Abstractions
Abstraction is a fundamental tool for reasoning about complex systems. Program abstraction has been utilized to great effect for analyzing deterministic programs. At the heart of program abstraction is the relationship between a concrete program, which is difficult to analyze, and an abstract program, which is more tractable. Program abstractions, however, are typically not probabilistic. We ge...
متن کاملProbabilistic CEGAR
Counterexample-guided abstraction refinement (CEGAR) has been en vogue for the automatic verification of very large systems in the past years. When trying to apply CEGAR to the verification of probabilistic systems, various foundational questions arise. This paper explores them in the context of predicate abstraction.
متن کاملQuantitative Refinement and Model Checking for the Analysis of Probabilistic Systems
For standard (ie non-probabilistic) systems of reasonable size, correctness is analysed by simulation and/or model checking, possibly with standard program-logical arguments beforehand to reduce the problem size by abstraction. For probabilistic systems there are model checkers and simulators too; but probabilistic program logics are rarer. Thus e.g. model checkers face more severe exposure to ...
متن کاملExact and Approximate Abstraction for Classes of Stochastic Hybrid Systems
A stochastic hybrid system contains a collection of interacting discrete and continuous components, subject to random behaviour. The formal verification of a stochastic hybrid system often comprises a method for the generation of a finite-state probabilistic system which either represents exactly the behaviour of the stochastic hybrid system, or which approximates conservatively its behaviour. ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Contaminant Source Identification in Water Distribution Infrastructure Systems
Large water distribution systems can be highly vulnerable to penetration of contaminant factors caused by different means including deliberate contamination injections. As contaminants quickly spread into a water distribution network, rapid characterization of the pollution source has a high measure of importance for early warning assessment and disaster management. In this paper, a methodology...
