********************************************************************* Webinar & Call for Model-Checking Community Feedback
"Developing an Open-Source, State-of-the-Art Symbolic Model-Checking Framework for the Model-Checking Research Community"
https://modelchecker.temporallogic.org *********************************************************************
Research Goal: --------------- This is an NSF (U.S. National Science Foundation)-funded effort to develop an open-source, state-of-the-art symbolic model-checking framework for the international model-checking research community. Our goal is to fill the current gap in model checking research platforms: building a freely-available, open-source, scalable model checking infrastructure that accepts expressive models and efficiently interfaces with the currently-maintained state-of-the-art back-end algorithms to provide an extensible research and verification tool. We will create a community resource with a well-documented intermediate representation to enable extensibility, and a web portal, facilitating new modeling languages and back-end algorithmic advances. To add new modeling languages or algorithms, researchers need only to develop a translator to/from the new intermediate language, and will then be able to integrate each advance with the full state-of-the-art in model checking.
Project Status: ---------------- We have developed a candidate intermediate representation for symbolic model checking and revised it via feedback from a Technical Advisory Board. We are now ready for wider community feedback to fuel our next round of revisions and developments.
Visit our project website for more details, presentation slides, and more opportunities to interact, including providing comments, joining our mailing list, registering for future webinars, and suggesting names for the new framework.
Webinar: --------
Our first workshop will be held online via zoom: 15 February 2022 1:00pm-3:00pm US-CST (GMT-6) Registration is at: https://modelchecker.temporallogic.org
Agenda: 15 minutes: Project overview and introduction 45 minutes: Candidate intermediate representation details 60 minutes: Moderated community feedback and questions
*** Additional webinars will be held to accommodate other time-zones; please register for a future workshop on the website and provide your timezone when asked.
