New in spot 0.9.2a:
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing yet.
|
||||
* Support for various flavors of Testing Automata.
|
||||
The flavors are:
|
||||
- "classical" Testing Automata, as used for instance by
|
||||
Geldenhuys and Hansen (Spin'06), using Büchi and
|
||||
livelock acceptance conditions.
|
||||
- Generalized Testing Automata, extending the previous
|
||||
with multiple Büchi acceptance sets.
|
||||
- Transition-based Generalized Testing Automata moving Büchi
|
||||
acceptance to transitions, and getting rid of livelock
|
||||
acceptance conditions by expliciting stuttering self-loops.
|
||||
Supporting algorithms include anything required to run
|
||||
the automata-theoretic approach using testing automata:
|
||||
- dedicated synchronized product
|
||||
- dedicated emptiness-check for TA and GTA, as these
|
||||
may require two passes because of the two kinds of
|
||||
acceptance, while a TGTA can be checked for emptiness
|
||||
with the same one-pass algorithm as a TGBA.
|
||||
- conversion from a TGBA to any of the above kind, with
|
||||
options to reduce these automata with bisimulation,
|
||||
and to produce a BA/GBA that require a single pass
|
||||
(at the expense of determinism).
|
||||
- output in dot format for display
|
||||
A discussion of these automata, part of Ala Eddine BEN SALEM's
|
||||
PhD work, should appear in a future edition of ToPNoC.
|
||||
The web-based interface can build and display these testing
|
||||
automata.
|
||||
* TGBA can now be reduced by Reverse Simulation (in addition to
|
||||
the Direct Simulation introduced in 0.9). A function called
|
||||
iterated_simulations() will alternate direct and reverse
|
||||
simulations in a loop as long as it diminishes the size of the
|
||||
automaton.
