We present here the user manual of Imitator II, a tool implementing the “inverse method” in the framework of parametric timed automata: given a reference valuation of the parameters, its generates a constraint such that the system behaves the same as under the reference valuation in terms of traces, i.e., alternating sequences of locations and actions. This is useful for safely relaxing some va...

The Willingness-to-Pay approach is the basic justi...cation for the use of the Contingent Valuation method to evaluate public mortality risk reduction programs. However, aggregating unweighted willingness-to-pay is a valid method only when individuals have the same marginal value of money, an unrealistic assumption in the presence of heterogeneity. We show that heterogeneity on wealth and basel...

Safety properties are crucial when verifying real-time concurrent systems. When reasoning parametrically, i.e., with unknown constants, it is of high interest to infer a set of parameter valuations consistent with such safety properties. We present here algorithms based on the “inverse method” for parametric timed automata: given a reference parameter valuation, it infers a constraint such that...

Traditionally, the real estate asset assessment is performed by experienced valuators, who take into account its economic, social, physical and locational aspects. Nowadays, the construction industry is becoming more and more influenced by the sustainability requirements. Therefore, the inclusion of the sustainability evaluation into real estate asset valuation is of utmost importance. The Neut...

I explore the value implications of economic models by highlighting what features persist in the long-term. I accomplish this by developing a decomposition of valuation dynamics (DVD). I use it to distinguish components of an underlying economic model that influence values over long horizons from components that impact only the short run. I apply my approach to study example economies from the ...
