We implemented the SMT-based BMC algorithm and compared it with the SAT-based BMC method for the same systems and the same property language on several benchmarks for STSs. For the SAT- based BMC we used the PicoSAT solver and for the SMT-based BMC we used the Z3 solver. The experimental results show that the SMT-based BMC performs quite well and is, in fact, sometimes significantly faster than the tested SAT-based BMC.}, year = {2015}, journal = {International Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence}, volume = {3}, number = {5}, pages = {28-35}, month = {12/2015}, issn = {1989-1660}, url = {http://www.ijimai.org/journal/sites/default/files/files/2015/11/ijimai20153_5_4_pdf_87485.pdf}, doi = {10.9781/ijimai.2015.354}, }
