Weekly Note 2

Hand-Ins - General Information

Before being allowed to go to the oral exam in June, you need to get a pass grade for the mandatory project that consists of several hand-ins. You should submit your answers through the SDU Assignment at e-learn.sdu.dk. Please put all your files in a zip file named as Your_Name.zip

Note that the hand-ins are considered to be an exam project, i.e., all the rules for a normal exam also applies here. Specifically, you are not allowed to get help from anybody, and you should ensure that nobody but you can access your files, etc.

Download and run the LSTA tool.
Load the Drinks example in the LSTA tool. Compile, draw, and run it. Modify it to add a yellow action followed by chocolate, then compile, draw, and run it again.
[MK] 2.1 - 2.5.
Load the SUM example. Compile, draw, and run it. Then modify the model to have two in[0..N] actions instead of one in[0..N][0..N] action; compile, draw, and run it. Compare the number of states with that of the original model.
Run the following two dispensers separately: DISPENSER1 = (coin -> coke -> STOP |coin -> sprite -> STOP ). DISPENSER2 = (coin -> (coke -> STOP |sprite -> STOP ) ). Consider the following questions:
1. Is there any difference in the (possible) traces for DISPENSER1 and DISPENSER2 (recall that the trace of a process is a set of sequences of actions)?
2. Is there any difference in (runtime) behavior?
3. What do we now know about the relationship between trace-equivalence and behavioral-equivalence (observable behaviour)?
