In TA module, a system is modeled as a
network of several processes interleaving with each other. It provides an easy way to create a
process by drawing the operations of the process. Each process is an automaton
where a location is a snapshot of the process and an edge is used to
describe a transition from one location to another. An edge includes five parts.
First, the Event is the name of the
action making the process to change. Second, the Clock Guard is the timed
constraint of transition execution. Third, the Transition Guard is the
condition of the action to happen. Next is the Program which is the
description of the action. It defines what the new state of the process from the
current state is if this action is trigered. Finally, Reset Clocks is set the clock
to zero. In this manual we will use the Transition and Link interchangeably. The
Transition is actually represented a real link in the canvas.
