TaBular Enviroment, LogicaL
T_____Bell, Tbell's secret code name, alluding to a fictional character known for being quick, small, clever, informative, etc., or
Tabella, Latin for "a small table". -
Tablewise page at NASA Under NASA funding, Odyssey Research Associates worked with Honeywell Air Transport Systems Division (Phoenix) to study the incorporation of formal methods into the company's software development processes. In particular, ORA developed a prototype tool, called TableWise, to analyze the characteristics of decision tables.
TableWise uses a generalization of Binary Decision Diagrams to determine if a particular table is exclusive (for every combination of parameter values, at most one action can be chosen) and exhaustive (for every combination of parameter values, at least one action can be chosen). The tool is also capable of automatically generating documentation and Ada code from a decision table.
