The reactive synthesis competition (SYNTCOMP): 2018-2021

Abstract

We report on the last four editions of the reactive synthesis competition (SYNTCOMP 2018–2021). We briefly describe the evaluation scheme and the experimental setup of SYNTCOMP. Then we introduce new benchmark classes that have been added to the SYNTCOMP library and give an overview of the participants of SYNTCOMP. Finally, we present and analyze the results of our experimental evaluations, including a ranking of tools with respect to quantity and quality—that is, the total size in terms of logic and memory elements—of solutions.

Abstract

In this paper we present an analysis of a MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol for wireless sensor networks. The purpose of this protocol is to manage wireless media access by constructing a Time Division Media Access (TDMA) schedule. APMC (Approximate Probabilistic Model Checker) is a tool that uses approximation-based verification techniques in order to analyse the behavior of complex probabilistic systems. Using APMC, we approximately computed the probabilities of several properties of the MAC protocol being studied, thus giving some insights about its performance.
