Alloy is a self-contained executable, which includes the Pardinus/Kodkod model finder and a variety of SAT solvers, as well as the standard Alloy library and a collection of tutorial examples. The same jar file can be incorporated into other applications to use Alloy as an API, and includes the source code. See the release notes for details of new features. To execute, simply double-click on the jar file, or type java -jar org.alloytools.alloy.dist.jar in a console.

Since Alloy 6, the tool can also perform temporal model-checking. at the time of this writing, this relies on external tools NuSMV or nuXmv (preferred from an efficiency point of view) that should be installed by the user and mad available in the PATH.

Alloy extensions

Sterling

  • Public web page: https://sterling-js.github.io/
  • Authors: Tristan Dyer, John Baugh
  • Synopsis: Sterling is a web-based visualizer for Alloy that can be customized and extended using JavaScript. It also includes enhanced views that make complex state easier to understand. The Graph View provides multiple layout options, does not restrict the movement of atoms to rows, and maintains the position of common elements when stepping through traces. The Table View provides sorting and filtering options, and skolemized variables can be displayed as highlighted rows. Using the Script View, included in the upcoming release, users can generate domain specific visualizations and extend the Sterling interface with user-defined scripts.
