Petri networks and network models are two frameworks for the compositional design of systems of interacting entities. Here we show how to combine them using the concept of a "catalyst": an entity that is neither destroyed nor created by any…
In this paper we introduce a new network reachability problem where the goal is to find the most reliable path between two nodes in a network, represented as a directed acyclic graph. Individual edges within this network may fail according…
The categorical modeling of Petri nets has received much attention recently. The Dialectica construction has also had its fair share of attention. We revisit the use of the Dialectica construction as a categorical model for Petri nets…
The textbook proofs of Commoner's theorem characterizing liveness in free-choice Petri nets are given in contexts of technical notions and claims that make the proofs look a bit long. The aim of this note is to give a concise self-contained…
Robust and comprehensive characterization of the topological properties of complex networks requires the adoption of several respective measurements, among which the node degree has special importance. In the present work, we provide an…
Applying neural networks as controllers in dynamical systems has shown great promises. However, it is critical yet challenging to verify the safety of such control systems with neural-network controllers in the loop. Previous methods for…
This paper develops a geometric approach to the theory of integrability by hydrodynamic reductions to establish an equivalence, for a large class of quasilinear systems, between hydrodynamic integrability and the existence of nets…
During the last decade, various approaches have been put forward to integrate business processes with different types of data. Each of such approaches reflects specific demands in the whole process-data integration spectrum. One particular…
Algebraic cryptanalysis usually requires to recover the secret key by solving polynomial equations. Grobner bases algorithm is a well-known method to solve this problem. However, a serious drawback exists in the Grobner bases based…
In this paper we propose two new subclasses of Petri nets with resets, for which the reachability and coverability problems become tractable. Namely, we add an acyclicity condition that only applies to the consumptions and productions, not…
This lecture note focuses on comparing the notions of invariance and home spaces in Transition Systems and more particularly, in Petri Nets. We also describe how linear algebra relates to these basic notions in Computer Science, how it can…
Event structures are a well-accepted model of concurrency. In a seminal paper by Nielsen, Plotkin and Winskel, they are used to establish a bridge between the theory of domains and the approach to concurrency proposed by Petri. A basic role…
The study of network robustness is a critical tool in the characterization and sense making of complex interconnected systems such as infrastructure, communication and social networks. While significant research has been conducted in all of…
We report on our experiences exploring state of the art Groebner basis computation. We investigate signature based algorithms in detail. We also introduce new practical data structures and computational techniques for use in both signature…
By employing the (de)homogenization technique in a relatively extensive setting, this note studies in detail the relation between non-homogeneous Gr\"obner bases and homogeneous Gr\"obner bases. As a consequence, a general principle of…
This is a companion piece to my paper on "Example-Based Procedural Modeling Using Graph Grammars." This paper examines some of the theoretical issues in more detail. This paper discusses some more complex parts of the implementation, why…
In recent times, the functioning of various aspects of modern society---ranging from the various infrastructural utilities such as electrical power, water to socio-economical aspects such as telecommunications, business, commerce,…
In real world applications, uncertain parameters are the rule rather than the exception. We present a reachability algorithm for linear systems with uncertain parameters and inputs using set propagation of polynomial zonotopes. In contrast…
This vision paper presents initial research on assessing the robustness and reliability of AI-enabled systems, and key factors in ensuring their safety and effectiveness in practical applications, including a focus on accountability. By…
Neural networks achieve outstanding accuracy in classification and regression tasks. However, understanding their behavior still remains an open challenge that requires questions to be addressed on the robustness, explainability and…
