Implementation


Input to PATHFINDER will be provided by the user in the form of a 'make_file'.
This file will include a call to executable source code to be analyzed. PATHFINDER
will read and execute these programs while saving the sequence of execution from
beginning to end in an event log. Once the execution is complete, the representation
will begin, depicting the executed processes which have just occurred. This feature will
enable a user of PATHFINDER to view the interactions of concurrent processes in a
slower mode rather than at the actual rate of execution, giving the user a clearer view
of what happens in a format that can be easily seen.
