Abstract

We introduce the web-based model checker iscasMc for probabilistic systems (see http://iscasmc.ios.ac.cn/IscasMC ). This Java application offers an easy-to-use web interface for the evaluation of Markov chains and decision processes against PCTL and PCTL* specifications. Compared to PRISM or MRMC, iscasMc is particularly efficient in evaluating the probabilities of LTL properties.
