Exploring Situation Theory Using InfonLab

Complex software systems often suffer from flaws arising either during the design or the development stages. In many cases due to the lack of formal underpinning it is difficult to assuredly define the model from which the system is generated. In our work, we investigated the suitability of mathematical situation theory as a formal foundation for a computer modelling language. This paper describes our empirical evaluation of this thesis in the real-time domain using Infon Lab, a tool based upon situation theory.
