Behavior Composition

What is a behavior ?
• Behavior – Logic of a machine– Web service– Stand alone component
• Abstracted as finite transition systems• Available behaviors can be non-deterministic

Combining available behaviors to realize a target behavior

Can we realize T1 by composing B1 and B2 ?

Simulation
8
• A transition system T1 simulates another transition system T2 iff T1 can ‘mimic’ all the states of T2
• A state in the available system mimics another state in the target system if:– It can do all the actions that the target state can do– The successor state in the available system as a result of
such an action simulates the resulting state in the target system
• Simulation is a relation of states of the composed system and the states of the target behavior which can be ‘mimicked’.

Techniques
10
Two approaches for behavior composition
• Regression based approach [Sardina,Patrizi & De Giacomo, KR 2008]
• Progression based approach [Stroeder & Pagnucco, 2009, IJCAI 2009]
Proceedings of Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR), pages 640-650, Sydney, Australia, September 2008. AAAI Press.
Accepted for the IJCAI 2009
Techniques
11
Regression based approach [Sardina, Patrizi, De Giacomo]
• Assume each state in the available system simulates each state in the target system
• Iteratively remove non-conformant links which don’t’ follow the simulation definition i.e., – Can not perform the actions which can be requested
in the matching target state– The successor state of the action does not follow the
above rule
• Stop when no more links can be removed

Example
Available behaviors
Target System
{<S1,S1>, <T1>}{<S1,S1>, <T2>}{<S1,S1>, <T3>}{<S2,S1>, <T1>}{<S2,S1>, <T2>}{<S2,S1>, <T3>}{<S2,S2>, <T1>}{<S2,S2>, <T2>}{<S2,S2>, <T3>}{<S1,S2>, <T1>}{<S1,S2>, <T2>}{<S1,S2>, <T3>}
Assume each state from availablebehaviors simulates each stateIn the target system

Each Cycle : step 1 – remove the States which can not perform the Actions of the linked target state

Each Cycle : step 2 – remove the States whose successor states are not in the simulation relation

Techniques
15
Progression based approach [Stroder & Pagnucco]
• Start from the initial state• Iteratively add conformant links between the
states of the composed system and the target system
• Stop when no more links can be added

Implementation
19
Implementation of both the techniques on a common platform
• Implement both approaches on a common platform – Java
• Prototype implementation available.
1. TLV implementation for deterministic available behaviors is available, but not for non-deterministic behaviors. Symfony is another system, but Lacks some of the components.
Analysis
20
Comparing the speed of the techniques
• Measure the speed of both the algorithms for the problems
• Design benchmark problems– Hand crafted• Problems for which a known solution exists• Problems for which a solution does not exist
– Randomly generated problems– Variation in size and number of available behaviors
• If time left in minor thesis– Study algorithm’s behavior with respect to• Varying degrees of non determinism in available behaviors
