- Automata, logic, games for controller synthesis
News and Updates
I am currently visiting the Centre for Formal Design and Verification of Software at IIT Bombay where I am working with Krishna. S and Ashutosh Trivedi on games over timed automata. I am working on robust semantics of timed automata and mean payoff games for timed automata.
Teaching:
- A short course on Timed Automata in May 2014 as part of the course Foundations of Automatic Verification: The participants were introduced to timed automata, region equivalence and region graphs, relation between region equivalence and time abstracted bisimulation, PSPACE completeness of reachability in TA, NL completeness for reachability for one-clock TA, undecidability of universality problem for timed automata, timed and time abstracted bisimulation.

Tools
- LogicFence: A Java based framework that enforces global integrity constraints across multiple applications at runtime.
The tool can be downloaded from here.
- ReLTS: This tool provides a game based approach for checking a set of generalized
form of behavioural relations that includes bisimulation, simulation preorder
and equivalences over labelled transition systems and time abstracted relations
for timed automata
This tool is currently under development. The latest version is available at this link.
