Dear all,

This is just to remind tool developers that the PETRI NET 2011 model checking contest deadline is in 11 days.

Its main objective is to compare the efficiency of techniques according to characteristics of models. To do so, the Model Checking Contest compares tools on academic models with scaling capabilities (e.g. values that set up the "size" of the associated state space).

For the first edition of the Model Checking Contest, we have selected a limited set of capabilities to be evaluated. Based on this experiment, future editions will propose more sophisticated ones. So far, we only check for state space generation and evaluation of safety (reachability) properties and deadlock computation.

This is a unique occasion, as a participant, to help the community to:

1) start on the definition of common benchmarks used by all participants,

2) help in the evaluation of techniques, as well as, the identification of their strength and weakness (e.g. appropriateness of the involved techniques for a given type of models)

3) compare your tool among the galaxy of existing tools.

According to the success of the contest and the quality of results, a report paper will be published in TOPNOC and thus officially state some clues for potential users of our technologies. If so, this report will not only focus on performances but will provide a tentative classification of properties and techniques that have been analyzed during the contest.

Joint submissions (as a paper to SUMo and a tool in the contest) are encouraged too.

Best regards.
