Abstract

We report on the performance of the tool LoLA 2.0 in the model checking contest (MCC) 2015. As in the years before, LoLA ranked first in the reachability category of the contest. We identify critical success factors and discuss the impact of the contest design. Conclusions include further improvements for the tool as well as suggestions concerning the setup of future contests.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Based on the result sheets of the MCC 2015. Not included are 290 queries that LoLA found to be equivalent to a formula without temporal operators. Such formulas could be evaluated by just inspecting the initial marking. Also not included are 603 extremely long formulas where a time limit was reached while parsing the query. Also not included is the compute-bounds subcategory.
