Space-Time Diagram Creation Tool

Post date: Jun 22, 2016 2:25:06 PM

If you ever had to explain a distributed protocol, chances are you had to use a space-time diagram. In fact, you probably created dozens or even hundreds of them. At our group, we certainly did.

To simplify the task of drawing and modifying such diagrams, both while teaching as well as researching, we decided to develop a tool. While still incomplete, as we plan to add several other visualization modes and simplify syntax, the tool is already functional, and we would like to share it with you.

The following diagram was generated by the tool. If you want to know more about it go here; to experiment with it online, no strings attached, go here.

Any feedback is welcome.
