Scalable Probabilistic Program Verification via Typed Extended Decision Diagrams

Weakest pre-expectations are the probabilistic program analogue to weakest preconditions in classical programs. Deductive verification approaches aim to establish bounds on these quantitative expectations. Their automation has been successful in analysing a variety of discrete probabilistic programs. Key routines in that automation require reasoning about (partially unrolled) loops, however, the logical representation of weakest pre-expectations on such unrollings often explodes. In this paper, we develop typed extended decision diagrams (TEDDs), inspired by various extensions to binary decision diagrams. We demonstrate computing WPs represented as TEDDs, SMT-based pruning to further shrink their representation, and we lift some proof rules to operate on TEDDs. Finally, we demonstrate that TEDDs boost the scalability of deductive probabilistic program verification by orders of magnitudes over the state of the art.

BDDs Strike Back: Efficient Analysis of Static and Dynamic Fault Trees

Fault trees are a key model in reliability analysis. Classical static fault trees (SFT) can best be analysed using binary decision diagrams (BDD). State-based techniques are favorable for the more expressive dynamic fault trees (DFT). This paper combines the best of both worlds by following Dugan's approach: dynamic sub-trees are analysed via model checking Markov models and replaced by basic events capturing the obtained failure probabilities. The resulting SFT is then analysed via BDDs. We implemented this approach in the Storm model checker. Extensive experiments (a) compare our pure BDD-based analysis of SFTs to various existing SFT analysis tools, (b) indicate the benefits of our efficient calculations for multiple time points and the assessment of the mean-time-to-failure, and (c) show that our implementation of Dugan's approach significantly outperforms pure Markovian analysis of DFTs. Our implementation Storm-dft is currently the only tool supporting efficient analysis for both SFTs and DFTs.
