Objectives
The Model Checking Contest is a yearly scientific event dedicated to the assessment of formal verification tools for concurrent systems.
The Model Checking Contest has two different parts: the Call for Models, which gathers Petri net models proposed by the scientific community, and the Call for Tools, which benchmarks verification tools developed within the scientific community.
The objective of the Model Checking Contest is to compare the efficiency of techniques according to characteristics of models. To do so, the Model Checking Contest compares tools on several classes of models with scaling capabilities (e.g. values that set up the «size» of its associated state space). Through the feedback on tools efficiency according to the selected benchmarks, we aim at identifying the techniques that can tackle a given type of problem identified in a «typical mode», for a given class of problem (e.g. state space generation, deadlock detection, reachability analysis, causal analysis).
The Model Checking Contest is composed of two calls: a call for models and a call for tool participation.
After four editions in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, this is the fifth one that will take place at PETRI NETS 2015 in Bruxelles.
Examinations for Model Checkers
Several examinations are proposed:
- State space generation: tools will have to generate the state space and provide data on its size,
- Evaluation of reachability properties: tools will have to process true and false reachability properties, stating for each one if it is verified or not,
- Evaluation of Linear Temporal Logic properties (LTL): tools will have to process true and false properties, stating for each one if it is verified or not,
- Evaluation of Computation Tree Logic properties (CTL): tools will have to process true and false properties, stating for each one if it is verified or not.
