Replication Package for the paper: Compositional Verification of Stigmergic Collective Systems

This package allows to replicate the experiments described in the paper “Compositional Verification of Collective Adaptive Systems”.

## Package contents

• `LICENSE`: licensing information
• `logs-baseline/published`, `logs-compositional/published`: log files used to compile figures and tables within the paper
• `ZENODO.md`: this document
• `replication.sh`: script to replicate the experiments
• `specifications`: LAbS source files
• The other files and directories are a slightly customized release of the SLiVER tool, available at https://github.com/labs-lang/sliver/.

## Requirements

This package has been tested under Debian and Ubuntu, but should run on most x86_64 Linux distributions.

• Python 3..8 or higher (experiments were performed using Python 3.10.4)
• A recent version of CADP (https://cadp.inria.fr). The experiments were performed using version 2022-f "Kista". If a newer version is used, please check the change list page (https://cadp.inria.fr/changes.html) and note that any breaking changes introduced since version 2022-f may affect the experiments.

## Instructions

Unpack the archive, give execute permissions to `replication.sh`, and execute it.

Logs will be stored in `logs-baseline/YYY-MM-DD` and `logs-compositional/YYYY-MM-DD` where `YYYY-MM-DD is the current date.

## Changelog

### Changes between v1.1 and 1.0

Starting from CADP 2022-g, the keyword for divergence-preserving sharp bisimulation changed from `sharp` to `divsharp`.
Version 1.0 of this package used the `sharp` keyword, and thus it may fail to replicate the experiments when used with newer versions of CADP.
Version 1.1 addresses this by using `divsharp`.
We also updated the published log files with those obtained by running our experiments with CADP 2022-h.
The present document (`ZENODO.md`) has similarly been updated to document these changes.
