Abstract

MarQ is a runtime monitoring tool for specifications written as quantified event automata, an expressive automata-based specification language based on the notion of parametric trace slicing. MarQ has performed well in the runtime verification competition and implements advanced indexing and redundancy elimination techniques. This overview describes the basic structure and functionality provided by MarQ and gives a brief description of how to use the tool.
