Opis is an ocaml library for implementing reactive systems where the same code can either be executed, run in a simulator or used as a specification in a formal model checker. The model checking is only possible because referential transparency massively reduces the state space of the program. http://perso.eleves.bretagne.ens-cachan.fr/~dagand/opis/ Flask is a similar haskell project which generates code for sensor networks. I don't know if they've gone as far down the testing/modelling route. http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~mainland/flask/ The general theme is promising - reducing mutable state makes it much easier to automate reasoning about code.

Hello,

I'm interested to hear if anyone out there has used Haskell (or other functional languages for that matter) to build simulators for real-time systems.

I'm somewhat familiar with Timber http://www.timber-lang.org/ and similar languages for actually constructing real-time systems. However, I'm more interested in documented uses of FP "out-of-the-box" to build simulators and associated test harnesses.

Pointers to published papers are particularly appreciated.

Thanks! Lee _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
