Benchmarks for Parity Games (extended version)
We propose a benchmark suite for parity games that includes all benchmarks
that have been used in the literature, and make it available online. We give an
overview of the parity games, including a description of how they have been
generated. We also describe structural properties of parity games, and using
these properties we show that our benchmarks are representative. With this work
we provide a starting point for further experimentation with parity games.Comment: The corresponding tool and benchmarks are available from
https://github.com/jkeiren/paritygame-generator. This is an extended version

Two Decades of Maude
This paper is a tribute to JosĂ© Meseguer, from the rest of us in the Maude team, reviewing the past, the present, and the future of the language and system with which we have been working for around two decades under his leadership. After reviewing the origins and the language's main features, we present the latest additions to the language and some features currently under development. This paper is not an introduction to Maude, and some familiarity with it and with rewriting logic are indeed assumed.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional AndalucĂa Tech
Parameterized Algorithmics for Computational Social Choice: Nine Research Challenges
Computational Social Choice is an interdisciplinary research area involving
Economics, Political Science, and Social Science on the one side, and
Mathematics and Computer Science (including Artificial Intelligence and
Multiagent Systems) on the other side. Typical computational problems studied
in this field include the vulnerability of voting procedures against attacks,
or preference aggregation in multi-agent systems. Parameterized Algorithmics is
a subfield of Theoretical Computer Science seeking to exploit meaningful
problem-specific parameters in order to identify tractable special cases of in
general computationally hard problems. In this paper, we propose nine of our
favorite research challenges concerning the parameterized complexity of
problems appearing in this context
A guided tour of asynchronous cellular automata
Research on asynchronous cellular automata has received a great amount of
attention these last years and has turned to a thriving field. We survey the
recent research that has been carried out on this topic and present a wide
state of the art where computing and modelling issues are both represented.Comment: To appear in the Journal of Cellular Automat
Relational Graph Models at Work
We study the relational graph models that constitute a natural subclass of
relational models of lambda-calculus. We prove that among the lambda-theories
induced by such models there exists a minimal one, and that the corresponding
relational graph model is very natural and easy to construct. We then study
relational graph models that are fully abstract, in the sense that they capture
some observational equivalence between lambda-terms. We focus on the two main
observational equivalences in the lambda-calculus, the theory H+ generated by
taking as observables the beta-normal forms, and H* generated by considering as
observables the head normal forms. On the one hand we introduce a notion of
lambda-K\"onig model and prove that a relational graph model is fully abstract
for H+ if and only if it is extensional and lambda-K\"onig. On the other hand
we show that the dual notion of hyperimmune model, together with
extensionality, captures the full abstraction for H*
