TeD - A Language for Modeling Telecommunication Networks

TeD is a language designed mainly for modeling telecommunication networks. The TeD language specification is separated into two parts --- (1) a meta language (2) an external language. The meta language specification is concerned with the high--level description of the structural and behavioral interfaces of various network elements. The external language specification is concerned with the detailed low-level description of the implementation of the structure and behavior of the network elements. In this document, we present an introduction to the TeD language, along with a brief tutorial using an example model of a simple ATM multiplexer. 1 Introduction TeD is a language designed mainly for modeling telecommunication networks. The TeD language specification is split into two distinct parts --- MetaTeD and "external language." MetaTeD defines a set of concepts for modeling the dynamic interactions of entities and their compositions, in an application-independent manner. MetaTeD is an ..
