SCED
SCED project (1.1.1993 - 31.12.1995) has been carried out in
the University of Tampere and in Tampere University of
Technology in co-operation with Finnish industrial partners,
which are: Nokia Cellular Systems and Nokia research Center,
Valmet Automation, Stonesoft, Kone, and Insoft.
A central idea of SCED is to support a design-by-example
approach for OOA/D. The OMT method has been used as a
guideline and notational basis, but in princile the approach
used in SCED is not tied to any particular design methodology.
The implemented tool, called SCED, is running under MS-Windows
and is available via ftp. SCED consists of two conventional
CASE components, a scenario editor and a state diagram editor,
and a more intelligent component, called a generator, integrating
scenarios and state machines with various mechanisms. The
generator can be asked to synthesize a state diagram for
a selected object or an operation appearing in a desired set
of scenarios. It can also be asked, e.g., to simplify a state
machine using the OMT state diagram notation, to check consistencies
between scenarios and state diagrams, to construct scenario
diagrams with the support of existing state machines, to visualize
the run-time behavour of an object system, and to generate various
layout choices for state diagrams.
