Graphical Animation of Lotos Specifications

  • Chapter
Computer Science 2

Abstract

The development of complex communication systems has promoted the use of Formal Description Techniques (FDTs) in order to facilitate the specification and analysis of complex systems.

This work has been partially sponsored by the “Programa de cooperación científica con Iberoamérica”, and by the Spanish CICYT (Spanish Research Council) within the MEDAS (Advanced Methodology for Communication Systems Development) research project.
