A model is a simplified representation of the real world. Engineers
|
|
use models to gain confidence in the adequacy and validity of a proposed
|
|
design.
|
|
|
|
Models are described using state machines, known as Labelled Transition
|
|
Systems (LTS). These are described textually as Finite State Processes
|
|
(FSP) and displayed and analysed by the LTSA analysis tool.
|
|
|
|
This package provides the LTSA utility exposed above. It is specially
|
|
useful to be used together with the 'Concurrency: State Models & Java
|
|
Programs' book, whose page is at http://www-dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/concurrency/.
