Abstract:
PVSio-web is a graphical environment for facilitating the design and evaluation of interactive (human-computer) systems. Using PVSio-web, one can generate and evaluate realistic interactive prototypes from formal models. PVSio-web has been successfully used over the last two years for analyzing commercial, safety-critical devices. It has also been used to create training material for device developers and device users. In this talk, I will present the latest release of PVSio-web, which will be part of the next PVS distribution. The new tool architecture is discussed, and the rationale behind its design choices are presented.
