Symbolic Finite Automata and Register Automata are two orthogonal extensions of finite automata motivated by real-world problems where data may have unbounded domains. These automata address a demand for a model over large or infinite alphabets, respectively. Both automata models have interesting applications and have been successful in their own right. In this paper, we introduce Symbolic Register Automata, a new model that combines features from both symbolic and register automata, with a view on applications that were previously out of reach. We study their properties and provide algorithms for emptiness, inclusion and equivalence checking, together with experimental results.
We extend the Kearns-Vazirani learning algorithm to be able to handle systems that change over time. We present a new learning algorithm that can reuse and update previously learned behavior, implement it in the LearnLib library, and evaluate it on large examples, to which we make small adjustments between two runs of the algorithm. In these experiments our algorithm significantly outperforms both the classic Kearns-Vazirani learning algorithm and the current state-of-the-art adaptive algorithm.⋆ Full implementation and experiment results available at https://github.com/UCL-PPLV/learnlib.
