+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.
