A model checking competition? Do we want this?If so, how do we want this?Boudewijn HaverkortNovember 2007
Background • Discussion within two Dutch projects to “disseminate” research results • “Why not have a model checking competition, have prizes, awards, publicity, etc.?” • First proposal by Jan-Friso Groote Model Checking Competition?
Three competitions (I) • Beauty contest: from informal problem description to nicest model (subjective, hence work with independent jury) • Model checking functional stuff: model is posed, in a general/simple language; how quickly do you check this/that? • Three classes: LTL, CTL, mu-calculus Model Checking Competition?
Three competitions (II) • Model checking quantitative stuff:- timed as well as stochastic models- low/high-level model specification?- measures of interest? - when and how organised? • Your advice needed! Model Checking Competition?
“hardware model checking competition” • done at CAV/TACAS • fairly limited model class makes for an easy specification of the competition • model:-- cases posed (web)-- limited memory/clock single machine-- number of measures: clock values • more than 10 contestants • only (downloadable) tools, not just optimised programs • http://fmv.jku.at/hwmcc/ Model Checking Competition?
Yes, brings progress No, gives conflicts Cases too difficult to pose Is this good for us ? Why [not] ? Model Checking Competition?
