Javastates History
Tuesday, September 1 2009
Javastates originates from a long run project. A C version of similar concepts was implemented in the application generator OpenSide in the early nineties, then a C++ variant was implemented in Ilog Views. Laurent Henocque as a software engineering teacher developped javastates as a tool for teaching the specification of graphical user interfaces and currently uses this at ESIL, Université de la Méditerranée, France.
