Solving games played on timed automata is a well-known problem and has led to tools and industrial case studies. In these games, the first player (Controller) chooses delays and actions and the second player (Perturbator) resolves the non-determinism of actions. However, the model of timed automata suffers from mathematical idealizations such as infinite precision of clocks and instantaneous sy...

Interval Markov Chains (IMC), or Markov Chains with probability intervals in the transition matrix, are the base of a classic specification theory for probabilistic systems (Larsen and J onsson, 1991). The standard semantics of IMCs assigns to a specification the set of all Markov Chains that satisfy its interval constraints. The theory then provides operators for deciding emptiness of conjunct...

Violence is a phenomenon we are daily confronted with in the media and everyday life. Yearly more than one and a half million of humans are reported to lose their lives due to violence. Violence has links to aggression, an almost universal phenomenon in animal kingdom that may in some instances serve the purpose of survival of species (e.g., the maternal aggression for defending offspring). Vio...
