A Variety of Request-Response Specifications

We find, motivated by real-world applications, that the well-known request-response specification comes with multiple variations, and that these variations should be distinguished. As the first main contribution, we introduce a classification of those variations into six types, and present it as a decision tree, where a user is led to the type that is suited for their application by answering a couple of questions. Our second main contribution is the formalization of those six types in various formalisms such as temporal logics, grammars, and automata; here, two types out of the six are non-regular specifications and their formalization requires extended formalisms. We also survey tools for monitoring these specifications to cater for practitioners' needs.

Componentwise Automata Learning for System Integration (Extended Version)

Compositional automata learning is attracting attention as an analysis technique for complex black-box systems. It exploits a target system's internal compositional structure to reduce complexity. In this paper, we identify system integration -- the process of building a new system as a composite of potentially third-party and black-box components -- as a new application domain of compositional automata learning. Accordingly, we propose a new problem setting, where the learner has direct access to black-box components. This is in contrast with the usual problem settings of compositional learning, where the target is a legacy black-box system and queries can only be made to the whole system (but not to components). We call our problem componentwise automata learning for distinction. We identify a challenge there called component redundancies: some parts of components may not contribute to system-level behaviors, and learning them incurs unnecessary effort. We introduce a contextual componentwise learning algorithm that systematically removes such redundancies. We experimentally evaluate our proposal and show its practical relevance.

Efficient Matching with Memoization for Regexes with Look-around and Atomic Grouping (Extended Version)

Regular expression (regex) matching is fundamental in many applications, especially in web services. However, matching by backtracking -- preferred by most real-world implementations for its practical performance and backward compatibility -- can suffer from so-called catastrophic backtracking, which makes the number of backtracking super-linear and leads to the well-known ReDoS vulnerability. Inspired by a recent algorithm by Davis et al. that runs in linear time for (non-extended) regexes, we study efficient backtracking matching for regexes with two common extensions, namely look-around and atomic grouping. We present linear-time backtracking matching algorithms for these extended regexes. Their efficiency relies on memoization, much like the one by Davis et al.; we also strive for smaller memoization tables by carefully trimming their range. Our experiments -- we used some real-world regexes with the aforementioned extensions -- confirm the performance advantage of our algorithms.
