| Summary: | Process models and graphs are commonly used for modeling and visualization of processes. They may represent sets of objects or events linked with each other in some way. Wide use of models in such languages engenders necessity of tools for creating and editing them. This paper describes the model editor which allows for dealing with classical graphs, Petri nets, finite-state machines and their systems. Additionally, the tool has a list of features like simulation of Petri nets, import and export of models in different storage formats. Carassius is a modular tool which can be extended with, for example, new formalisms. In the paper one can find a detailed description of a couple of layout algorithms that can be used for visualizing Petri nets and graphs. Carassius might be useful for educational and research purposes because of its simplicity, range of features and variety of supported notations. |
