Probabilistic Model Checking of Labelled Markov Processes via Finite Approximate Bisimulations
This paper concerns labelled Markov processes (LMPs), probabilistic models over uncountable state spaces originally introduced by Prakash Panangaden and colleagues. Motivated by the practical application of th...

Permissive Controller Synthesis for Probabilistic Systems
We propose novel controller synthesis techniques for probabilistic systems modelled using stochastic two-player games: one player acts as a controller, the second represents its environment, and probability is...

Verification of Markov Decision Processes Using Learning Algorithms
We present a general framework for applying machine-learning algorithms to the verification of Markov decision processes (MDPs). The primary goal of these techniques is to improve performance by avoiding an ex...

Model checking for probabilistic timed automata
Probabilistic timed automata (PTAs) are a formalism for modelling systems whose behaviour incorporates both probabilistic and real-time characteristics. Applications include wireless communication protocols, a...

Automatic verification of competitive stochastic systems
We present automatic verification techniques for the modelling and analysis of probabilistic systems that incorporate competitive behaviour. These systems are modelled as turn-based stochastic multi-player gam...

Incremental Runtime Verification of Probabilistic Systems
Probabilistic verification techniques have been proposed for runtime analysis of adaptive software systems, with the verification results being used to steer the system so that it satisfies certain Quality-of-...

PRISM-games: A Model Checker for Stochastic Multi-Player Games
We present PRISM-games, a model checker for stochastic multi-player games, which supports modelling, automated verification and strategy synthesis for probabilistic systems with competitive or cooperative beha...

SMT-Based Bisimulation Minimisation of Markov Models
Probabilistic model checking is an increasingly widely used formal verification technique. However, its dependence on computationally expensive numerical operations makes it particularly susceptible to the sta...

Automated Verification and Strategy Synthesis for Probabilistic Systems
Probabilistic model checking is an automated technique to verify whether a probabilistic system, e.g., a distributed network protocol which can exhibit failures, satisfies a temporal logic property, for exampl...

Automatic Decomposition and Allocation of Safety Integrity Levels Using a Penalty-Based Genetic Algorithm
Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASILs) are used in the new automotive functional safety standard, ISO 26262, as a key part of managing safety requirements throughout a top-down design process. The ASIL dec...

Probabilistic verification of Herman’s self-stabilisation algorithm
Herman’s self-stabilisation algorithm provides a simple randomised solution to the problem of recovering from faults in an N-process token ring. However, a precise analysis of the algorithm’s maximum execution ti...

Patellofemoral arthroplasty, where are we today?
Patellofemoral arthroplasty remains controversial, primarily due to the high failure rates reported with early implants. Numerous case series have been published over the years detailing results of various fir...

Manipulations of spinal cord excitability evoke developmentally-dependent compensatory changes in the lamprey spinal cord
We have examined homeostatic or compensatory plasticity evoked by tonic changes in spinal cord excitability in the lamprey, a model system for investigating spinal cord function. In larval animals, reducing ex...
