Abstract

This paper presents PAYNT, a tool to automatically synthesise probabilistic
programs. PAYNT enables the synthesis of finite-state probabilistic programs from
a program sketch representing a finite family of program candidates. A tight
interaction between inductive oracle-guided methods with state-of-the-art
probabilistic model checking is at the heart of PAYNT. These oracle-guided
methods effectively reason about all possible candidates and synthesise programs
that meet a given specification formulated as a conjunction of temporal logic
constraints and possibly including an optimising objective. We demonstrate the
performance and usefulness of PAYNT using several case studies from different
application domains; e.g., we find the optimal randomized protocol for network
stabilisation among 3M potential programs within minutes, whereas alternative
approaches would need days to do so.
