A graph solver for the automated generation of consistent domain-specific models
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Many testing and benchmarking scenarios in software and systems engineering depend on the systematic generation of graph models. For instance, tool qualification necessitated by safety standards would require a large set of consistent (well-formed or malformed) instance models specific to a domain. However, automatically generating consistent graph models which comply with a metamodel and satisfy all well-formedness constraints of industrial domains is a significant challenge. Existing solutions which map graph models into first-order logic specification to use back-end logic solvers (like Alloy or Z3) have severe scalability issues. In the paper, we propose a graph solver framework for the automated generation of consistent domain-specific instance models which operates directly over graphs by combining advanced techniques such as refinement of partial models, shape analysis, incremental graph query evaluation, and rule-based design space exploration to provide a more efficient guidance. Our initial performance evaluation carried out in four domains demonstrates that our approach is able to generate models which are 1-2 orders of magnitude larger (with 500 to 6000 objects!) compared to mapping-based approaches natively using Alloy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
