Symbolic Model-Checking Intermediate-Language Tool Suite: CAV 2024 Artifact

Artifact for CAV 20204 evaluation for: Symbolic Model-Checking Intermediate-Language Tool Suite

MoXI (Model eXchange Interlingua) is an intermediate language for SMT-based model checking. moxi-mc-flow is a toolchain that translates SMV -> MoXI -> BTOR2, and any resulting witnesses back to the source language. By default, the toolchain provides scripts for automatically translating files to BTOR2, then model checking them with either AVR, Pono, or BtorMC, and then translating the resulting witnesses back to the source language. The toolchain also provides a reference sort checker for MoXI files, as well as a JSON schema that can be used to validate MoXI files in a JSON format. 

See README.txt for replication instructions.

Getting Started

1. Install docker (or a compatible alternative) on your machine. Docker is free and open-source and can be downloaded from [https://www.docker.com]

2. Import the included tarball From a terminal shell in the same directory as the downloaded artifact, the `moxi.tar` file can be imported with the command:
    `docker load < moxi.tar`

3. Start the container The tarball loads an "image" from which "containers" can be run. View the loaded images with `docker images` then start a new container (or instance of the image) with:
    `docker run -it --rm moxi-mc-flow:artifact`
the flags `-it` give you an interactive terminal with the container while `--rm` removes the container (but not the image) when you exit. If you'd rather keep a persistent container to save changes, remove this flag.

4. You will now have a bash shell at the home directory of the artifact. Read the README.txt for replication instructions.

Note: If you removed the `--rm` flag, after exiting the shell the container will still be running in the background until you issue a `docker stop` command for the container
