# Networks¶

Automata can be composed to an automaton network. We recommend constructing networks via the method create_network() of the respective modeling context:

from momba import model

# creates a *Probabilistic Timed Automata* (PTA) modeling context
ctx = model.Context(model.ModelType.PTA)
# let's create an automaton network named *network*
network = ctx.create_network(name="network")
network

A network comprises a set of automaton instances connected via links.

class momba.model.Network(ctx, *, name=None)[source]

Represents an automaton network.

ctx

The Context associated with the network.

name

The optional name of the network.

The set of links of the network.

property instances

The set of instances of the network.

property initial_restriction

An optional restriction to be satisfied by initial states.

This property can be set only once on a network. The expression has to be boolean.

Raises ModelingError when set twice or to a non-boolean expression.

Adds an instance to the network.

The instance and network are required to be in the same modeling context.

Creates a synchronization link between automata instances.

The parameter vector is a mapping from the instances participating in the synchronization to action patterns with which they participate.

The parameter result is the action pattern resulting from synchronizing.

Represents a link of an automaton network.

vector

The synchronization vector.

result

The resulting action pattern.
