Model Checking Contest 2018
8th edition, Bratislava, Slovakia, June 26, 2018
Models for 2018
Last Updated
June 26, 2018

Introduction

The benchmark proposed for the MCC'2018 consists of P/T nets (1-bounded, k-bounded), and colored Nets (1 and k-bounded per color, with and without non-equal guards on transitions, with and without cartesian product on colors, with and without successor/predecessor functions).

For a number of P/T nets, additional information about the concurrent structure of these nets is provided under the form of a NUPN (Nested-Unit Petri Net) "tool specific" element in the PNML file. This information can be exploited by tools at will.

For colored Petri Nets, equivalent P/T nets are provided in most of the cases.

Two classes of models are provided:

All models are provided as PNML files. The two types of models are provided with a detailed set of characteristics that tools can exploit when possible.

Models (both academic and industrial) are separated in two categories:

Model Contributors

The section below list the people who provided models to the various editions of the Model Checking Contest. These models are used for the contest but also serve as benchmarks for many other people (see here).

Sometime, they are authors of these models, otherwise, they have summarized or retrieved an existing model from the literature... thus, since they champion these models, they are "responsible" for them and, since they were of great help for establishing the base of our benchmark, they are listed below:
