Benchmark Generator for Stratified Controllers of Tank Networks
We present a new model of a tank network used to transfer liquid. Tanks are connected by channels. The throughput velocity of every particular channel is governed by the controller. We consider a special class of stratified controllers which are organized in several phases. Every phase can be further partitioned into multiple options. This structure makes it easy to generate a variety of benchmark instances ranging in the size, branching factor and generally analysis complexity. We provide a flexible benchmark generator for this class of benchmarks and a sample benchmark suite built by the generator. Finally, we use the Hyst model transformation framework to convert the original model in a format compatible with several reachability tools.
