The Workstation Software Framework (WSF) is a state machine model driven development toolkit designed to generate event driven applications based on ESO VLT software. State machine models are used to generate executables. The toolkit provides versatile code generation options and it supports Mealy, Moore and hierarchical state machines. Generated code is readable and maintainable since it combines well known design patterns such as the State and the Template patterns. WSF promotes a development process that is based on model reusability through the creation of a catalog of state machine patterns.
