Complex system prototyping using environment abstraction

A rapid prototyping method for parallel systems is presented. The aim of the approach is to provide a rapid prototyping tool. Source formalism consists of coloured Petri nets. These allow powerful modelization and rely on a strong theoretical basis from which behavioural validation can be inferred. One major problem of rapid prototyping is environment integration. The authors propose a method which allows such integration. They present the methodology and illustrate it on a toy example.>
