abstract: >-
  SModelS is an automatic, public tool for interpreting
  simplified-model results from the LHC. It is based on a
  general procedure to decompose Beyond the Standard Model
  (BSM) collider signatures presenting a Z2 symmetry into
  Simplified Model Spectrum (SMS) topologies. Our method
  provides a way to cast BSM predictions for the LHC in a
  model independent framework, which can be directly
  confronted with the relevant experimental constraints.
