System modeling is important and highly non-trivial. The choice of specification language is an important factor in the success of the entire development. The language should cover several facets of the requirements and the model should precisely capture (up to abstraction of irrelevant details) an existing system or a system to be built. The language should have a semantic model suitable to study the behaviors of the system and to establish the validity of desired properties. A formal model can be the basis for a variety of system development activities, e.g., system simulation, visualization, verification or prototype synthesis.
