pnml2pins is a language front-end for the LTSmin model checking tool set. pnml2pins uses the dlopen interface of LTSmin.

• make: https://www.gnu.org/software/make
• Python >= 3: https://www.python.org/download/releases/3.0
• LTSmin >= 2.1: http://fmt.cs.utwente.nl/tools/ltsmin
• GCC >= 4.8: https://gcc.gnu.org/. Other C compilers may work as well.

To install pnml2pins run the following commands:

1. autoreconf -i to create the configure script
2. ./configure to configure pnml2pins. Provide the option --with-LTSmin=<LTSmin-prefix> for a different LTSmin prefix. Supply the --prefix=<prefix for a different install prefix.
3. make to build the compilation script
4. make install to install pnml2pins

1. pnml2pins <petri-net.pnml> to compile the Petri net into a shared library. The result will be an .so file produced in the PWD.
2. pins2lts-sym <petri-net.so> to perform reachability analysis of the Petri net with the symbolic back-end.

• Unfolded Petri nets
• 1-safe Petri nets: By means of the NUPN toolspecific syntax

• Sequential explicit (pins2lts-seq)
• Multi-core explicit (thread safe) (pins2lts-mc)
• (Mulit-core) Symbolic (Disjunctive Paritioned Transitions, thread safe) (pins2lts-sym)
• Distributed explicit (pins2lts-dist)

• Partial Order Reduction: The state explosion problem (pins2lts-mc --por)

• Transition labels for traces/witnesses (pins2lts-* --action=<transition-name>)
• Print maximum token count over all places
• Token count overflow detection
• Invariants/LTL/mu-calculus formulas over places (pins2lts-* --invariant=<place=#token-count>)

• State labels
