 ====== Course Outline ======
 ===== SPIN Tool =====
 The course outline is a guideline to topics that will be discussed in the course, and when they will be discussed.
-Towards the end of the term we will be using the [[http://spinroot.com/|Spin tool]] (see [[http://spinroot.com/spin/Doc/SpinTutorial.pdf|Tutorial1]]) for describing and specifying safety critical systems. Spin and Xspin are installed on Prism ("spin" and "xspin" at the prompt).

 On Prism, the SPIN tool is invoked by typing //Xspin// and the command line tool is //spin//.
