I have a question. I want to use ALV and PPL instead of Omega. Do you have any tip how can I start to work on it? Do you have any advice?
Dear David,
I assume by ALV you mean the Action Language Verifier (http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~bultan/composite/index.html).
Back in 2003 Ken Mixter, under the direction of Tevfik Bultan (both in CC), produced a version of ALV that is based on the PPL. That version was never released to the public, but I have a copy (I don't know if it is up-to-date). The problem is that this was based on ALV 0.2 and PPL 0.4.2 whereas the current version of ALV is 0.4 and the current version of PPL is 0.9: I don't know if the PPL interface developed by Ken is compatible with these new versions. For the PPL side there is no problem at all: we can make the required changes in a matter of minutes. I don't know if the changes between ALV 0.2 to ALV 0.4 are more difficult to accommodate.
Let us see if Ken and or Tevfik have something more up-to-date or some suggestion to offer. All the best,
Roberto
