A model is a simplified representation of the real world.  Engineers
use models to gain confidence in the adequacy and validity of a proposed
design.

Models are described using state machines, known as Labelled Transition
Systems (LTS).  These are described textually as Finite State Processes
(FSP) and displayed and analysed by the LTSA analysis tool.

This package provides the LTSA utility exposed above.  It is specially
useful to be used together with the 'Concurrency: State Models & Java
Programs' book, whose page is at http://www-dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/concurrency/.
