Alvis Virtual Machine

摘要

Alvis is a formal modelling language. It combines graphical modelling of communication schema and a high level programming language to describe behaviour of individual system entities. An Alvis model can be verified formally by using methods based on a system state space. The paper presents the design and the command list of the Alvis Virtual Machine. The aim of the project is to provide an execution environment for Alvis language. Moreover, one of the goals is to allow different hardware units to run Alvis models. Thus, a virtual machine was chosen as a solution.
