We study verification over a general model of artifact-centric systems, to assess (parameterized) safety properties irrespectively of the initial database instance. We view such artifact systems as array-based systems, which allows us to…
We propose DAB -- a data-aware extension of the BPMN de-facto standard with the ability of operating over case and persistent data (partitioned into a read-only catalog and a read-write repository), and that balances between expressiveness…
We propose DAB -- a data-aware extension of BPMN where the process operates over case and persistent data (partitioned into a read-only database called catalog and a read-write database called repository). The model trades off between…
The need to model and analyse dynamic systems operating over complex data is ubiquitous in AI and neighboring areas, in particular business process management. Analysing such data-aware systems is a notoriously difficult problem, as they…
In this paper we study the verification of parameterised multi-agent systems (MASs), and in particular the task of verifying whether unwanted states, characterised as a given state formula, are reachable in a given MAS, i.e., whether the…
Individual clinical Knowledge Artifacts (KA) are designed to be used in Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems at the point of care for delivery of safe, evidence-based care in modern healthcare systems. For formal authoring of a KA,…
The safety of infinite state systems can be checked by a backward reachability procedure. For certain classes of systems, it is possible to prove the termination of the procedure and hence conclude the decidability of the safety problem.…
In this work we develop a fully automatic verification procedure of safety properties of Scade programs. We transform each such program into an SMT instance (Satisfiability Modulo Theories) and feed this to a solver. The goal is to have a…
Microservice systems are becoming increasingly adopted due to their scalability, decentralized development, and support for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). However, this decentralized development by separate teams and…
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are being deployed for an increasing number of safety-critical applications, including autonomous cars and medical diagnosis. However, concerns about their reliability have been raised due to their…
We present an SMT-based symbolic model checking algorithm for safety verification of recursive programs. The algorithm is modular and analyzes procedures individually. Unlike other SMT-based approaches, it maintains both "over-" and…
Autonomous Systems (AS) are increasingly proposed, or used, in Safety Critical (SC) applications. Many such systems make use of sophisticated sensor suites and processing to provide scene understanding which informs the AS' decision-making.…
With the increasing system complexity and attack sophistication, the necessity of autonomous cyber defense becomes vivid for cyber and cyber-physical systems (CPSs). Many existing frameworks in the current state-of-the-art either rely on…
Artifact-centric business processes have recently emerged as an approach in which processes are centred around the evolution of business entities, called artifacts, giving equal importance to control-flow and data. The recent…
Context: Model-Driven Security (MDS) is as a specialised Model-Driven Engineering research area for supporting the development of secure systems. Over a decade of research on MDS has resulted in a large number of publications. Objective: To…
Deep neural networks have achieved impressive experimental results in image classification, but can surprisingly be unstable with respect to adversarial perturbations, that is, minimal changes to the input image that cause the network to…
In this report, we aim at establishing proper ways for model checking the global security of distributed systems, which are designed consisting of set of localised security policies that enforce specific issues about the security expected.…
Artifact-Centric systems have emerged in the last years as a suitable framework to model business-relevant entities, by combining their static and dynamic aspects. In particular, the Guard-Stage-Milestone (GSM) approach has been recently…
Principled accountability in the aftermath of harms is essential to the trustworthy design and governance of algorithmic decision making. Legal theory offers a paramount method for assessing culpability: putting the agent 'on the stand' to…
Recent advances in the field of Business Process Management have brought about several suites able to model complex data objects along with the traditional control flow perspective. Nonetheless, when it comes to formal verification there is…
