Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In this paper, we describe the Olympus Modeling System, a prototype modeling and simulation system we have built to interpret formal models of computation. Olympus employs a graphical, interactive user interface that enables one to control the system as it interprets a model. The system supports animation and simulation; animation is used to observe qualitative behavior of a model and simulation is used to obtain quantitative information about the model's behavior. The system supports multiple simultaneous users with fine-grained interaction between the users and the system.
