Many software as well digital hardware automatic synthesis methods define the set of implementations meeting the given system specifications with a boolean relation K (controller). Such relation, given a system state s and an action u, returns 1 iff taking action u in state s leads in the system goal or at least one step closer to it. In order to determine at hand if K is a "good" controller, e.g., if it covers a wide enough portion of the system state space, or to provide an high level view of the actions enabled by K, it is useful to picture K in a 2D or 3D diagram. In this paper, starting from a canonical representation for K, we propose an algorithm to automatically generate such a picture, relying on available graphing tools.

Abstract
Many software as well digital hardware automatic synthesis methods define the set of implementations meeting the given system specifications with a boolean relation K (controller). Such relation, given a system state s and an action u, returns 1 iff taking action u in state s leads in the system goal or at least one step closer to it. In order to determine at hand if K is a "good" controller, e.g., if it covers a wide enough portion of the system state space, or to provide an high level view of the actions enabled by K, it is useful to picture K in a 2D or 3D diagram. In this paper, starting from a canonical representation for K, we propose an algorithm to automatically generate such a picture, relying on available graphing tools.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
