IARCS Verification Seminar Series -- Talk by Krishna S on Feb. 7 at 1900 hrs IST

by VSS IARCS

Dear all, The next talk in the IARCS Verification Seminar Series will be given by Krishna S, a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay. The talk is scheduled on Tuesday, February 7, at 1900 hrs IST (add to Google calendar <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=NzUzMmptb3…>). The details of the talk can be found on our webpage ( https://fmindia.cmi.ac.in/vss/), and also appended to the body of this email. The Verification Seminar Series, an initiative by the Indian Association for Research in Computing Science (IARCS), is a monthly, online talk-series, broadly in the area of Formal Methods and Programming Languages, with applications in Verification and Synthesis. The aim of this talk-series is to provide a platform for Formal Methods researchers to interact regularly. In addition, we hope that it will make it easier for researchers to explore newer problems/areas and collaborate on them, and for younger researchers to start working in these areas. All are welcome to join. Best regards, Akash, Deepak, Madhukar, Srivathsan ============================================================= Title: Verification of Concurrent Programs under Release Acquire -- Part II (Here is a video of the first part of this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac9QgZmaS9w) Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89164094870?pwd=eUFNRWp0bHYxRVpwVVNoVUdHU0djQT09 (Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194) Abstract: This talk is an overview of some recent work on the verification of concurrent programs. Traditionally concurrent programs are interpreted under sequential consistency (SC). Eventhough SC is very intuitive and easy to use, modern multiprocessors do not employ SC for performance reasons, and instead use so called "weak memory models". Some of the well known weak memory models in vogue among modern multiprocessor architectures are Intel x-86, IBM POWER and ARM. The use of weak memory is also prevalent in the C11 model, leading to the release acquire fragment of C11. This talk is on the verification of concurrent programs under the release acquire (RA) semantics. The main focus of the talk will be on non parameterized programs under RA, and I will briefly discuss results in the parameterized setting. In the non parameterized setting, we show that the reachability problem for RA is undecidable even in the case where the input program is finite-state, closing a long standing open problem. What works well for this class is under approximate reachability, in the form of bounded view switching, an analogue of bounded context switching, relevant to RA. In the parameterized setting, the first observation is that the semantics of RA can be simplified, lending to a better complexity for verification. Further, safety verification is PSPACE-complete for the case where the distinguished threads are loop-free, and jumps to NEXPTIME-complete for the setting where an unrestricted distinguished ego thread interacts with the environment threads. This talk is based on papers that appeared in PLDI'19 (joint with Parosh Abdulla, Mohamed Faouzi Atig and Jatin Arora), PODC'22 (joint with Roland Meyer and Adwait Godbole) as well as some unpublished work. Bio: Krishna S is a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay. Her areas of research are broadly in Automata, Logics, Games and the formal verification of timed and probabilistic systems.

by Supratik Chakraborty

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS HIGHLIGHTS OF LOGIC, GAMES, AND AUTOMATA 2023 Kassel, Germany, 24 -- 28 July 2023 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HIGHLIGHTS'23 is the eleventh in the series of international conferences "Highlights of Logic, Games and Automata", aiming at integrating the community working in algorithmic model theory, automata theory, databases, games for logic and verification, logic, and verification. Papers from these areas are dispersed across many conferences, which makes them difficult to follow. A visit to the HIGHLIGHTS conference should offer a wide picture of the latest research in the field and a chance to meet everybody in the community, not just those who happen to publish in one particular proceedings volume. There are no publications. HIGHLIGHTS'23 is scheduled from **July 24 to July 28, 2023** at the Campus Center of the **University of Kassel, Germany**. The main conference will be preceded by the Highlights Collaborative Research Week (HCRW), from **July 17 to July 21, 2023** at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the University of Kassel. HIGHLIGHTS'23 key features: * HIGHLIGHTS is a conference without publication, where speakers give short presentations of their best work. * (new) The conference will span five days, including tutorials. * (new) There is an early round of submissions and notifications to help with travel planning. * (new) The *Highlights' Collaborative Research Week* (HCRW) is a new initiative meant to facilitate research collaborations/discussions between participants. HCRW is scheduled from July 17 to July 21, 2023, i.e. the week before HIGHLIGHTS'23 and after ICALP’23 (in Paderborn, Germany). * The *Highlights Extended Stay Support Scheme* (HESSS) is intended to help participants find collaborators and organize visits around HIGHLIGHTS. We encourage you to attend and present your best work, be it already published or not, at HIGHLIGHTS’23. -- SCOPE -- Representative areas include, but are not restricted to: * Algorithmic model theory * Automata theory * Databases * Games for logic and verification * Logic * Verification -- IMPORTANT DATES AND INFORMATION -- * Main conference page: https://highlights-conference.org/2023/ * HCRW page: https://highlights-conference.org/2023/hcrw * HESSS page: https://highlights-conference.org/2023/hesss * Submission page: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/Highlights2023 * Registration page: TBA * **Early submission deadline: February 17** * Early notification: February 28 * **Regular submission deadline: April 25** * Regular notification: May 5 * Early registration: TBA * Highlights' Collaborative Research Weak (HCRW): July 17 - July 21, 2023. * Conference: July 24 - July 28, 2023 (Tutorial day: July 24). -- INVITED TALKS AND TUTORIALS -- TUTORIALS: * Bernd Finkbeiner (Saarland Univ and CISPA, Germany) * Édouard Bonnet (ENS Lyon, France) INVITED TALKS: * Udi Boker (Reichman Univ, Israel) * Véronique Bruyère (Univ of Mons, Belgium) * Meena Mahajan (Institute of Mathematical Sciences, India) * Sophie Pinchinat (IRISA, France) * Sven Schewe (Univ of Liverpool, UK) -- MODALITIES OF ATTENDANCE -- HIGHLIGHTS’23 is an event that will take place on-site (barring unforeseen circumstances), and the preferred form of participation is in person. Remote attendance via a video stream will also be offered, but with limited possible interactions for these participants. Before coming from far away, please review how your trip and international flights are contributing to climate change. We encourage you to take the train as much as possible, possibly taking the opportunity for visiting colleagues on the way and thus decomposing the travel into smaller pieces. More generally, we encourage you to make the most of your stay. This means extending your journey to the previous and/or following weeks for more scientific activities in Kassel and around. Several initiatives are here to help you in this task: - You can participate in the Highlights' Collaborative Research Week (HCRW, July 17-21) in the week before HIGHLIGHTS, in Kassel. We especially encourage you to come to HCRW if you are planning to attend ICALP’2023, which happens just before HCRW, in Paderborn. - You can attend ICALP’2023 (July 10-14, in Paderborn) - You can attend CAV’2023 (July 17-22, in Paris) - You can use the Highlights Extended Stay Support Scheme HESSS] for finding collaborators and organising visits. -- [EARLY] SUBMISSIONS AND GUIDELINES -- Submissions should take the form of a short abstract describing the content of the presentation and its interest. It should serve as a proposal for a presentation. Hence, submissions should have a single author — the speaker. They can concern any recently published, to be published, or ongoing work of the speaker. We expect you to present your favourite result of the year, so there should be at most one submission per speaker. The abstract should list co-authors, if any. Optionally, an extended abstract of up to two pages may be attached as a PDF file. We encourage both young and senior researchers to present. The early round of submissions is open until **February 17, 2023**. By submitting before this deadline, you will profit from an early notification by February 28, 2023 which may help you in organising your journey. The regular submission deadline is **April 25, 2023**, with a notification by May 5, 2023 Submissions will not lead to publications. There are no formal proceedings and we encourage the presentation of work published or presented elsewhere. The talk (which is short, around 10 minutes) can be doubled with a poster. In this case, it has to be sent more than one week before the event, and will be printed by the organising team. **Submission page:** https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/Highlights2023 -- HIGHLIGHTS' COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH WEEK (HCRW) -- HIGHLIGHTS’23 will be organising an extra week, the *Highlights' Collaborative Research Week* (HCRW), **from July 17 to July 21**, at the University of Kassel. Participants to HIGHLIGHTS can register for this week, and are then free to organise any scientific activity. It is up to you to decide what this week should be. Possibilities can be to - meet someone in particular, - organise or attend a seminar/workshop/reading group, - gather for solving open problems. HIGHLIGHTS organising team is offering the opportunity, the working space and support at the university, and some web-tools for the scientific organisation. We encourage participants to propose activities in advance. Please contact the program chair (Supratik Chakraborty) and the organisation chair (Stefan Göller) to communicate your proposals. * HCRW webpage: https://highlights-conference.org/2023/hcrw * To propose activities: Contact Supratik Chakraborty and Stefan Göller * Registration for HCRW will happen along with HIGHLIGHTS. -- HIGHLIGHTS EXTENDED STAY SUPPORT SCHEME (HESSS) -- The HESSS is an incentive for collaborations between participants of the conference and researchers working in research units reachable by train from the conference location. The objective is to foster interactions with low carbon footprint. The mechanism is as follows: * Research units wanting to participate in the scheme are/will be listed on the webpage: https://highlights-conference.org/2023/hcrw. These units are willing to fund collaborations between HIGHLIGHTS participants and their members. * The pair of a HIGHLIGHTS participant and a member of a listed research unit submit a proposal, which takes the form of an email containing names, period of collaboration, and a sentence describing the planned activity. It has to be sent to the HESSS contact person of the research unit. * The decision of acceptance is up to the research unit. In particular, it may be subject to scientific scope, number or requests, or e.g., favouring distant participants. * The only strict rule is that the visit should be around HIGHLIGHTS, and no airplane should be taken by the visitor to travel from HIGHLIGHTS to the visit location. * Research units interested in participating in the program should contact Thomas Colcombet. -- COMMITTEES -- PROGRAM COMMITTEE * S.

Traditionally concurrent programs are interpreted under sequential consistency (SC). Eventhough SC is very intuitive and easy to use, modern multiprocessors do not employ SC for performance reasons, and instead use so called "weak memory models". Some of the well known weak memory models in vogue among modern multiprocessor architectures are Intel x-86, IBM POWER and ARM. The use of weak memory is also prevalent in the C11 model, leading to the release acquire fragment of C11. This talk is on the verification of concurrent programs under the release acquire (RA) semantics. The main focus of the talk will be on non parameterized programs under RA, and I will briefly discuss results in the parameterized setting. In the non parameterized setting, we show that the reachability problem for RA is undecidable even in the case where the input program is finite-state, closing a long standing open problem. What works well for this class is under approximate reachability, in the form of bounded view switching, an analogue of bounded context switching, relevant to RA. In the parameterized setting, the first observation is that the semantics of RA can be simplified, lending to a better complexity for verification. Further, safety verification is PSPACE-complete for the case where the distinguished threads are loop-free, and jumps to NEXPTIME-complete for the setting where an unrestricted distinguished ego thread interacts with the environment threads. This talk is based on papers that appeared in PLDI'19 (joint with Parosh Abdulla, Mohamed Faouzi Atig and Jatin Arora), PODC'22 (joint with Roland Meyer and Adwait Godbole) as well as some unpublished work. Bio: Krishna S is a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay. Her areas of research are broadly in Automata, Logics, Games and the formal verification of timed and probabilistic systems.
