We introduce a logical framework for the specification and verification of component-based systems, in which finitely many component instances are active, but the bound on their number is not known. Besides specifying and verifying parametric systems, we consider the aspect of dynamic reconfiguration, in which components can migrate at runtime on a physical map, whose shape and size may change. We describe such parametric and reconfigurable architectures using resource logics, close in spirit to Separation Logic, used to reason about dynamic pointer structures. These logics support the principle of local reasoning, which is the key for writing modular specifications and building scalable verification algorithms, that deal with large industrial-size systems.

This paper presents a Hoare-style calculus for formal reasoning about reconfiguration programs of distributed systems. Such programs delete or create interactions or components while the system components change state according to their local behaviour. Our proof calculus uses a configuration logic that supports local reasoning and that relies on inductive predicates to describe distributed systems with an unbounded number of components. The validity of reconfiguration programs relies on havoc invariants, assertions about the ongoing interactions in the system. We present a proof system for such invariants in an assume/rely-guarantee style. We illustrate the feasibility of our approach by proving the correctness of self-adjustable tree architectures and provide tight complexity bounds for entailment checking in the configuration logic.
We propose a way of reasoning about minimal and maximal values of the weights of transitions in a weighted transition system (WTS). This perspective induces a notion of bisimulation that is coarser than the classic bisimulation: it relates states that exhibit transitions to bisimulation classes with the weights within the same boundaries. We propose a customized modal logic that expresses these numeric boundaries for transition weights by means of particular modalities. We prove that our logic is invariant under the proposed notion of bisimulation. We show that the logic enjoys the finite model property and we identify a complete axiomatization for the logic. Last but not least, we use a tableau method to show that the satisfiability problem for the logic is decidable.
We propose a graph-based process calculus for modeling and reasoning about wireless networks with local broadcasts. Graphs are used at syntactical level to describe the topological structures of networks. This calculus is equipped with a reduction semantics and a labelled transition semantics. The former is used to define weak barbed congruence. The latter is used to define a parameterized weak bisimulation emphasizing locations and local broadcasts. We prove that weak bisimilarity implies weak barbed congruence. The potential applications are illustrated by some examples and two case studies.
Most modern (classical) programming languages support recursion. Recursion has also been successfully applied to the design of several quantum algorithms and introduced in a couple of quantum programming languages. So, it can be expected that recursion will become one of the fundamental paradigms of quantum programming. Several program logics have been developed for verification of quantum while-programs. However, there are as yet no general methods for reasoning about (mutual) recursive procedures and ancilla quantum data structure in quantum computing (with measurement). We fill the gap in this paper by proposing a parameterized quantum assertion logic and, based on which, designing a quantum Hoare logic for verifying parameterized recursive quantum programs with ancilla data and probabilistic control. The quantum Hoare logic can be used to prove partial, total, and even probabilistic correctness (by reducing to total correctness) of those quantum programs. In particular, two counterexamples for illustrating incompleteness of non-parameterized assertions in verifying recursive procedures, and, one counterexample for showing the failure of reasoning with exact probabilities based on partial correctness, are constructed. The effectiveness of our logic is shown by three main examples -- recursive quantum Markov chain (with probabilistic control), fixed-point Grovers search, and recursive quantum Fourier sampling.
We apply a paraconsistent logic to reason about fractions.
