Abstract

We introduce the Büchi Store, an open repository of Büchi automata formodel-checking practice, research, and education.The repository contains Büchi automata and their complements for common specification patterns and numerous temporal formulae. These automata are made as small as possible by various construction techniques, in view that smaller automata are easier to understand and often help in speeding up the model-checking process. The repository is open, allowing the user to add new automata or smaller ones that are equivalent to some existing automaton. Such a collection of Büchi automata is also useful as a benchmark for evaluating complementation or translation algorithms and as examples for studying Büchi automata and temporal logic.
