Model-based testing (MBT) derives test suites from a behavioural specification of the system under test. In practice, engineers favour simple models, such as labelled transition systems (LTSs). However, to deal with quiescence - the absence…

As large language models (LLMs) increasingly tackle complex reasoning tasks, test-time scaling has become critical for enhancing capabilities. However, in agentic scenarios with frequent tool calls, the traditional generation-length-based…

This paper presents the first model-checking algorithm for an expressive modal mu-calculus over timed automata, $L^{\mathit{rel}, \mathit{af}}_{\nu,\mu}$, and reports performance results for an implementation. This mu-calculus contains…

Model Checking is widely applied in verifying the correctness of complex and concurrent systems against a specification. Pure symbolic approaches while popular, still suffer from the state space explosion problem that makes them impractical…

Timed B\"uchi automata provide a very expressive formalism for expressing requirements of real-time systems. Online monitoring and active testing of embedded real-time systems can then be achieved by symbolic execution of such automata on…

Multi-valued logics have a long tradition in the literature on system verification, including run-time verification. However, comparatively fewer model-checking tools have been developed for multi-valued specification languages. We present…

Weighted timed automata have been defined in the early 2000's for modelling resource-consumption or -allocation problems in real-time systems. Optimal reachability is decidable in weighted timed automata, and a symbolic forward algorithm…

In this paper we consider two different views of the model checking problems for the Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). On the one hand, we consider the universal model checking problem for LTL, where one asks that for a given system and a given…

A key challenge in formal verification, particularly in Model Checking, is ensuring the correctness of the verification tools. Erroneous results on complex models can be difficult to detect, yet a high level of confidence in the outcome is…

Graded path modalities count the number of paths satisfying a property, and generalize the existential (E) and universal (A) path modalities of CTL*. The resulting logic is called GCTL*. We settle the complexity of satisfiability of GCTL*,…

We introduce a new class of Parametric Timed Automata (PTAs) where we allow clocks to be compared to parameters in guards, as in classic PTAs, but also to be updated to parameters. We focus here on the EF-emptiness problem: "is the set of…

Deterministic timed automata are strictly less expressive than their non-deterministic counterparts, which are again less expressive than those with silent transitions. As a consequence, timed automata are in general non-determinizable.…

The reachability problem for timed automata asks if there exists a path from an initial state to a target state. The standard solution to this problem involves computing the zone graph of the automaton, which in principle could be infinite.…
