- The Department of Telematics of the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid is
- carrying out a survey on currently available LOTOS tools. It is required that
- the tool supports the standard definition of the language or subsets of it.
-
- Any institution wishing to appear in the survey should fill out, briefly, the
- questionnaire listed below (a sample filled questionnaire is also included).
-
- Please send your answer by e-mail to:

-
- + Tool Description:
-
- It verifies the liveness of the specification and also removes redundant
- behavior expressions, if any. The tool also contains a step by step simulator
- and a test generation tool.
-
- + Subset of LOTOS accepted:
-
- Full LOTOS with no dynamic creation of parallel processes (static parallel
- architecture). Some restrictions on data types (only finite sorts).
-
- + System Requirements:
-
- The tool runs under the following configurations:
- * SUN-4 with SUN-OS 5.3 (10 Mbyte of disk space.)
- * DEC-station DECIX 5.9 (10 Mbyte of disk space.)
-
- + Approximate Performance:
-
- Running on a SUN-4 with 64 Mbyte of RAM:
- + Liveness verification of a 2000 line specification
- Around 20 minutes (CPU time) and 20 Mbytes of swap space
- + Removal of redundant behavior expressions for a 2000 line specification
- From 1 to 10 hours (CPA time) and from 2 to 30 Mbytes of swap space
-
- + Other software required:
-
- * LISA tool (for syntax and static semantics analysis)
- * Super-Soft Lisp interpreter.
-
- + Reliability
-
- * Version 1.0 released two years ago: 6 errors detected
- * Version 2.0 released one year ago: 1 error detected
- * Version 3.0 released six months ago: no errors reported up to date
-
- + Tool Usage Documentation
-
- * User's guide: 100 pages
- * Reference manual: 200 pages
- * Installation guide: 50 pages
- * Examples: 300 pages
- * Related articles/reports: 60 pages
-
- + Other information:
-
- * The tool is available through anonymous ftp at trantor.vialactea.zz, but
- the documentation cost is 500 ECU.
