Hyperproperties enable simultaneous reasoning about multiple execution traces of a system and are useful to reason about non-interference, opacity, robustness, fairness, observational determinism, etc. We introduce hyper parametric timed…

Inevitability properties in branching temporal logics are of the syntax forall eventually \phi, where \phi is an arbitrary (timed) CTL formula. In the sense that "good things will happen", they are parallel to the "liveness" properties in…

Test-time scaling (TTS) -- the dynamic allocation of compute during inference -- is a promising direction for improving reasoning in large language models (LLMs). However, a systematic comparison of well-known TTS strategies under identical…

It is crucial for accurate model checking that the model be a complete and faithful representation of the system. Unfortunately, this is not always possible, mainly because of two reasons: (i) the model is still under development and (ii)…

Qualitative formal verification, that seeks boolean answers about the behavior of a system, is often insufficient for practical purposes. Observing quantitative information is of interest, e.g. for the proper calibration of a battery or a…

Previous work has shown that reasoning with real-time temporal logics is often simpler when restricted to models with bounded variability---where no more than v events may occur every V time units, for given v, V. When reasoning about…

Most current methods for learning from demonstrations assume that those demonstrations alone are sufficient to learn the underlying task. This is often untrue, especially if extra safety specifications exist which were not present in the…
