Creating algorithmic solutions to make these systems amenable to automated verification techniques remains a major challenge. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems in Saarbrücken and the French ‘Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique’ are now working on advancing this automated verification approach with substantial funding by the European Research Council.</strong><br> <br> The interdisciplinary project, titled ‘Dynamical and Arithmetical Model Checking (DynAMiCs)’, is led by the three principal investigators—Professor Joël Ouaknine, Scientific Director at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS) in Saarbrücken; Professor Florian Luca, also MPI-SWS and Stellenbosch University in South Africa; and Professor Valérie Berthé from the French ‘Institut de recherche en informatique fondamentale’ at the ‘Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)’ at the University Paris Cité.<br> <br> “The paradigm of ‘model checking’ is a powerful method that allows us to automatically verify, with mathematical certainty, whether a system behaves as intended” says Prof. Joël Ouaknine. However, many discrete dynamical systems—systems that change over time following specific rules—cannot currently be verified with the available model-checking approaches.<br> <br> One of the leading objectives of this new research project is thus to substantially broaden the classes of dynamical systems and properties that can be algorithmically handled via model checking. Specifically, it aims to tackle longstanding mathematical challenges, such as the Skolem Problem, that could lead to breakthroughs in understanding and verifying the behavior of other complex systems.<br> <br> The Skolem Problem asks if, within a system following specific mathematical rules, a certain state will eventually be reached. Translated to other instances, this question could ask if a computer program will terminate under specific conditions, when an electric vehicle’s battery will fully deplete following a specific driving pattern, or if a manufacturing robot will reach a precise target after following programmed movements. Although seemingly simple, this mathematical problem has remained unsolved and has puzzled mathematicians and computer scientists alike for nearly a century.<br> <br> Besides the Skolem Problem, the project also addresses additional longstanding mathematical challenges such as the Pisot Conjecture, piecewise-affine map reachability, and the Periodicity Conjecture. Addressing these complex problems demands innovative approaches that integrate insights from multiple areas of mathematics and computer science. “This funding allows us to leverage the interdisciplinary synergies between different fields, bringing together expertise that might not otherwise have come together,” says Florian Luca. The DynAMiCs project unites expertise in algorithmic verification led by Prof. Joël Ouaknine, symbolic dynamics under Prof. Valérie Berthé, and analytic number theory led by Prof. Florian Luca.<br> <br> The project is funded via a European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant totaling 7.5 million euros over six years, with 5 million euros allocated to MPI-SWS. ERC Grants are among the most prestigious research awards globally, with Synergy Grants being especially competitive and offering the highest funding levels. In the current funding round, 548 proposals were submitted, of which only 57 were approved (10.4%).<br> <br> <br> <h3>Further Information:</h3> <br> Press Release by the European Research Council: <a href="https://erc.europa.eu/news-events/news/erc-2024-synergy-grants-results">https://erc.europa.eu/news-events/news/erc-2024-synergy-grants-results</a><br> <br> List of Selected Projects: <a href="https://erc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/2024-11/erc-2024-syg-results-all-domains.pdf">https://erc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/2024-11/erc-2024-syg-results-all-domains.pdf</a><br> <br> <br> <h3>Scientific Contact:</h3> <br> Professor Joël Ouaknine, PhD<br> Scientific Director at MPI SWS and Coordinating Principal Investigator of <em>DynAMiCs<br> </em>Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, Saarbrücken<br> Tel: +49 (0)681 9303 9701<br> E-Mail: <a href="mailto:joel@mpi-sws.org">joel@mpi-sws.org</a><br> <h2></h2> <br> <h3>Editor:</h3> <br> Philipp Zapf-Schramm<br> Max Planck Institute for Informatics<br> Tel: +49 681 9325 5409<br> E-Mail: <a href="mailto:pzs@mpi-inf.mpg.de">pzs@mpi-inf.mpg.de</a><br> <br> </div> </div> <a class="btn-readmore js-readmore-btn" data-more="Read more" data-less="Read less" role="button">Read more</a> </div> </div> </article> <article class="news "> <div class="ct"> <div class="page__anchor" id="michael-sammler-wins-runner-up-for-informatics-europe-best-dissertation-award"></div> <header class="news__hd"> <h2 class="news__ttl">Michael Sammler wins Runner-Up Prize for Informatics Europe Best Dissertation Award</h2> <div class="news__meta"> <div class="news__date">November 2024</div> <div class="news__category"> <a href="/category/prize/dissertation-award/" rel="category tag">Dissertation Award</a>, <a href="/category/homepagenews/" rel="category tag">Homepage News</a> </div> </div> <div class="news__img-ct"> <img src="/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/informatics_award_cropped-150x88.jpg" width="150" height="88" srcset=" /wp-content/uploads/2024/11/informatics_award_cropped-150x88.jpg 150w, /wp-content/uploads/2024/11/informatics_award_cropped-300x176.jpg 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2024/11/informatics_award_cropped-600x353.jpg 600w, /wp-content/uploads/2024/11/informatics_award_cropped-768x452.jpg 768w, /wp-content/uploads/2024/11/informatics_award_cropped-900x529.jpg 900w, /wp-content/uploads/2024/11/informatics_award_cropped-1024x602.jpg 1024w, /wp-content/uploads/2024/11/informatics_award_cropped-1200x705.jpg 1200w, /wp-content/uploads/2024/11/informatics_award_cropped.jpg 1536w" title="informatics_award_cropped" sizes="100vw"> </div> </header> <div class="news__bd js-readmore-ct"> <div class="news__cnt"> <div class="news__cnt-preview cnt js-readmore-excerpt">Dr. Michael Sammler, who defended his doctoral thesis at Saarland University & MPI-SWS last December, has just received the <a href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/news/902-2024-best-dissertation-award-honors-1-winner-2-runners-up-for-informatics-research-excellence.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.informatics-europe.org/news/902-2024-best-dissertation-award-honors-1-winner-2-runners-up-for-informatics-research-excellence.html&source=gmail&ust=1730357163821000&usg=AOvVaw0QdBa0Q-0DP77kSYUe9e0E">R</a><a href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/news/902-2024-best-dissertation-award-honors-1-winner-2-runners-up-for-informatics-research-excellence.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.informatics-europe.org/news/902-2024-best-dissertation-award-honors-1-winner-2-runners-up-for-informatics-research-excellence.html&source=gmail&ust=1730357163821000&usg=AOvVaw0QdBa0Q-0DP77kSYUe9e0E">unner-Up</a><a href="https://www.informatics-europe.org/news/902-2024-best-dissertation-award-honors-1-winner-2-runners-up-for-informatics-research-excellence.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.informatics-europe.org/news/902-2024-best-dissertation-award-honors-1-winner-2-runners-up-for-informatics-research-excellence.html&source=gmail&ust=1730357163821000&usg=AOvVaw0QdBa0Q-0DP77kSYUe9e0E"> Prize for the 2024 Informatics Europe Best Dissertation Award</a>!
