Two major Forth extensions provide high-level support for building rapid prototypes for systems. These extensions form distinct language vocabularies available in the Forth environment. One is a Finite State Machine Language, named FSML, and the other is an object oriented language, named 200L. Using these extension and the inherent expandability of the Forth language a prototype, can be rapidly created. The modeling method requires four steps. First, using 200L, the system is described as a set of objects. At least one of the objects must be a controlling object and so identified. Second using, FSML, the controlling object is described as a finite state machine. Third, the system's …

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 26, 1994. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 26, 2014.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
