Consider a network in which $n$ distributed nodes are connected to a single server. Each node continuously observes a data stream consisting of one value per discrete time step. The server has to continuously monitor a given parameter…

Time delays are a common perturbation in systems with many states, such as networked, distributed, or decentralized systems. Current methods analyzing the stability of large systems with time delay typically produce very conservative…

Rational verification is the problem of determining which temporal logic properties will hold in a multi-agent system, under the assumption that agents in the system act rationally, by choosing strategies that collectively form a…

During its lifetime, a program suffers several changes that seek to improve or to augment some parts of its functionality. However, these modifications usually also introduce errors that affect the already-working code. There are several…

Real world evolves in continuous time but computations are done from finite samples. Therefore, we study algorithms using finite observations in continuous-time linear dynamical systems. We first study the system identification problem, and…

Writing formal specifications for distributed systems is difficult. Even simple consistency requirements often turn out to be unrealizable because of the complicated information flow in the distributed system: not all information is…

Distributed systems are notoriously difficult to understand and analyze in order to assert their correction w.r.t. given properties. They often exhibit a huge number of different behaviors, as soon as the active entities (peers, agents,…

Runtime Verification (RV) is a lightweight formal technique in which program or system execution is monitored and analyzed, to check whether certain properties are satisfied or violated after a finite number of steps. The use of RV has led…

The shift toward IoT-enabled, sensor-driven systems has transformed how operational data is generated, favoring continuous, real-time event streams (ES) over static event logs. This evolution presents new challenges for Streaming Process…

Reactive software calls for instrumentation methods that uphold the reactive attributes of systems. Runtime verification imposes another demand on the instrumentation, namely that the trace event sequences it reports to monitors are sound…
