|
|
Spot is a C++11 library for ω-automata manipulation and model
|
|
checking. It has the following notable features:
|
|
|
|
- Support for LTL (several syntaxes supported) and the linear fragment of PSL.
|
|
- Support for ω-automata with arbitrary acceptance condition.
|
|
- Support for transition-based acceptance (state-based acceptance
|
|
is supported by a reduction to transition-based acceptance).
|
|
- The automaton parser can read a stream of automata written in any of
|
|
three syntaxes ([[http://spinroot.com/spin/Man/never.html][never claims]], [[file:hoa.org][HOA]], or [[http://www.tcs.hut.fi/Software/lbtt/doc/html/Format-for-automata.html][LBTT]]).
|
|
- Several algorithms for formula manipulation including: simplifying
|
|
formulas, testing implication or equivalence, testing
|
|
stutter-invariance, removing some operators by rewriting, ...
|
|
- Several algorithms for automata manipulation including: product,
|
|
emptiness checks, simulation-based reductions,
|
|
minimization of weak-DBA, removal of useless SCCs,
|
|
acceptance-condition transformations, etc.
|
|
- In addition to the C++ interface, most of its algorithms
|
|
are usable via [[file:tools.org][command-line tools]], and via Python bindings.
|
|
- One of the command-line tool, called [[file:ltlcross.org][=ltlcross=]] is a rewrite
|
|
of [[http://www.tcs.hut.fi/Software/lbtt/][LBTT]], but with support for PSL and arbitrary acceptance conditions.
|
|
It could for instance be used to test tools that translate
|
|
LTL into Rabin automata.
