Games for Analysis and Synthesis of Interactive Computational Systems (GASICS)

我们的方法是推广过渡系统和自动机-模型的经典方法来验证的计算-更灵活的（和数学上更深的）博弈论框架。在这一领域已经取得了初步成果，我们的目标是将其推向复杂系统验证和设计中的可用框架和方法。我们的目标是互补的领域，如博弈论的逻辑语义和编程理论。目标和动机-我们的长期目标是现代系统理论的定义，其中系统被建模为相互作用的过程，这些过程是潜在的合作者或对手，并且其中重要的方面，如通信，定时信息，数据，随着计算机系统越来越多地部署在安全关键环境中，需要一种方法来设计、综合和形式化地验证复杂的交互计算系统。这种现代系统理论应该帮助设计者以严格的方式对复杂的基于计算机的系统进行建模，并允许他们正式推理其正确性。我们的研究应该为建立这样一种方法作出重大贡献。

Our approach is to generalize transition systems and automata – models of computation of the classical approach to verification – by the more flexible (and mathematically deeper) game-theoretic framework. There are initial results in this area, and our aim is to advance them towards a usable framework and methodology in the verification and design of complex systems. Our objectives are complementary to fields like game theoretic semantics in logic and the theory of programming. With the proposed approach, we also aim to contribute to a convergence of our community with the important community of control theory that deals with the behavior of dynamical systems.Objectives and motivations - Our long term objective is the definition of a modern systems theory where systems are modeled as interacting processes that are potential collaborators or adversaries, and where important aspects like communication, timing information, data, probability, etc. can be adequately modeled.As computer systems are deployed more and more in safety critical environments, there is a need for a methodology to design, synthesize and formally verify complex interacting computational systems. This modern systems theory should help the designers to model complex computer based systems in a rigorous way and allow them to reason formally about their correctness. Our research should contribute substantially to the creation of such a methodology.
