Thema: Strategies in Infinite Games:
Structured Reactive Programs and
Transducers over Infinite Alphabets
Abstract:
In this talk, we study the construction of winning strategies in games
of the following kind: Two players take turns in choosing symbols from
some fixed alphabet. They play forever, thus constructing an infinite
sequence of symbols. The winning condition is a set L of such sequences:
Player II wins if the constructed sequence is in the set L, otherwise
Player I wins. These games can be viewed as a model of reactive systems,
which maintain an ongoing interaction with their environment.
We consider the so-called synthesis problem: Given a winning condition,
determine whether Player II has a winning strategy, and construct such a
strategy.
First, we study the synthesis of winning strategies in the form of
structured reactive programs (for omega-regular winning conditions). In
particular, we show an exponential lower bound for the number of
(Boolean) program variables that are required in the case of winning
conditions specified in linear temporal logic (LTL), roughly matching
the known upper bound.
Second, we consider a more general form of the synthesis problem, where
the alphabet is infinite. Specifically, we focus on the case where the
symbols chosen by the players are natural numbers. To represent winning
conditions, we define a model of automata over infinite alphabets such
as the set N of natural numbers, namely N-memory automata. Analogously,
we introduce N-memory transducers to represent strategies. We show that
the synthesis problem is solvable in this setting: Given a winning
condition defined by a deterministic N-memory automaton with a parity
acceptance condition, we can determine which player has a winning
strategy and construct such a strategy in the form of a deterministic
N-memory transducer.

Thema: Synthesis of Transducers from Relations on Finite Words and Trees
Abstract:
The synthesis problem asks, given a specification that relates
possible inputs to allowed outputs, whether there is a program
realizing the specification, and if so, construct one.
Such a program is referred to as an implementation of the specification.
The field of automata theory offers a rich landscape of models for
defining specifications and implementations over both words and trees.
We consider synthesis of sequential transducers from
automaton-definable specifications on finite words and trees.
In this talk, concerning specifications over words, we discuss
synthesis of sequential word transducers from rational relations in
which the allowed input/output behavior is specified by a given set of
synchronizations. Concerning specifications over trees, we focus on
synthesis of deterministic top-down tree transducers from
tree-automatic specifications.

Title: Future Internet protocols
Abstract:
For many years, there were few innovations in the core Internet
protocols. This changed during the last years with Multipath TCP, IPv6
Segment Routing and protocols such as QUIC. This talk will discuss some
of the recent changes to the core Internet protocols and discuss future
challenges.
Bio:
Olivier Bonaventure is Professor at UCLouvain where he leads the IP
Networking Lab (https://inl.info.ucl.ac.be). Most of his research
focuses on improving Internet protocols. His PhD students participated
to the design and implemented several Internet protocols including LISP,
Multipath TCP or IPv6 Segment Routing. He wrote the open-source Computer
Networking : Principles, Protocols and Practice ebook that is used by
various universities and co-founded the Tessares startup that creates
innovative solutions based on Multipath TCP.

Title: Open Carrier Interfaces as an Enabler for Edge-Supported Services
Abstract:
Edge computing is an increasingly important theme for carriers and
application developers. This talk will outline how a merging of
serverless computing and an open-carrier interface can facilitate the
growth of edge-supported services. In this model, carriers open up their
edge facilities to third-party application providers (hereafter called
tenants) by offering the ability to deploy network edge processing
on-demand without operator intervention. There are two keys to this Open
Carrier Interface (OCI) model. First, the relevant edge processing is
only invoked when clients associated with that tenant attach at an edge.
Thus, much like serverless computing, the cost of OCI is proportional to
the usage, greatly reducing the barriers to deploying new global
services. Second, the carrier interface allows the tenant to specify an
overall application interaction pattern, which controls where their
clients traffic should be directed and provides edge-based lookup and
redirection services. The combination of these two features provides a
fully-automated and cost-effective way for third-parties to deploy new
global services that are enhanced by edge support.

Thema: SAMEM: A Methodology for the Elicitation and Specification of
Requirements for Agile Model-driven Engineering of Large Software
Solutions
Abstract:
In this talk, we present an overview of SAMEM (Software Agile Modeling
and Engineering Methodology). The SAMEM focuses on Agile and Model-driven
Development (MDD) techniques in the early stages of the product development
process, primarily requirements specification. Adaptations and differences
in applying Agile and MDD for requirements versus code developed are
highlighted. The SAMEM approach has been applied in over 18 industry
projects
with two different development teams and customers. The SAMEM provides
guidance through the abstraction hierarchy from initial ideas to deployment
while ensuring engineering due diligence and enabling innovation.
