We present a novel asynchronous hyper linear time temporal logic named LPrL (Linear Time Predicate Logic) and establish its basic theory. LPrL is a natural first order extension of LTL (Linear time temporal logic), in which the predicates…

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are systems that interact with the physical world via sensors and actuators. In such a system, the reading of a sensor represents measures of a physical quantity, and sensor values are often reals ranged over…

The aim of this work is to address issues where formal specifications cannot be realized on a given dynamical system subjected to a changing environment. Such failures occur whenever the dynamics of the system restrict the robot in such a…

Reliable and secure operation of power systems becomes increasingly challenging as the share of volatile generation rises, leading to largely changing dynamics. Typically, the architecture and structure of controllers in power systems, such…

In the game-theoretic approach to controller synthesis, we model the interaction between a system to be controlled and its environment as a game between these entities, and we seek an appropriate (e.g., winning or optimal) strategy for the…

We reduce synthesis for CTL* properties to synthesis for LTL. In the context of model checking this is impossible - CTL* is more expressive than LTL. Yet, in synthesis we have knowledge of the system structure and we can add new outputs.…

We extend previous work on symbolic self-triggered control for non-deterministic continuous-time nonlinear systems without stability assumptions to a larger class of specifications. Our goal is to synthesise a controller for two objectives:…

We study the problem of monitoring at runtime whether a system fulfills a specification defined by a hyperproperty, such as linearizability or variants of non-interference. For this purpose, we introduce specifications with both passive and…

We introduce and investigate a powerful hyper logical framework in the linear-time setting, we call generalized HyperLTL with stuttering and contexts (GHyperLTL_SC for short). GHyperLTL_SC unifies known asynchronous extensions of HyperLTL…

Strategy logic (SL) is a powerful temporal logic that enables first-class reasoning over strategic behavior in multi-agent systems (MAS). In many MASs, the agents (and their strategies) cannot observe the global state of the system, leading…
