Report on the Model Checking Contest at Petri Nets 2011

Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency VI

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((TOPNOC,volume 7400))

Abstract

This article presents the results of the Model Checking Contest held within the SUMo 2011 workshop, a satellite event of Petri Nets 2011. This contest aimed at a fair and experimental evaluation of the performances of model checking techniques applied to Petri nets.

The participating tools were compared on several examinations (state space generation, deadlock detection and evaluation of reachability formulæ) run on a set of common models (Place/Transition and Symmetric Petri nets). The collected data gave some hints about the way techniques can scale up depending on both examinations and the characteristics of the models.

This paper also presents the lessons learned from the organizer’s point of view. It discusses the enhancements required for future editions of the Model Checking Contest event at the Petri Nets conference.
