SYNOPSIS

bigrapher option

bigrapher command args

DESCRIPTION

BigraphER (Bigraph Evaluator & Rewriting) is an implementation of Bigraphical Reactive Systems (BRS) that supports bigraphs with sharing, stochastic and probabilistic reaction rules, rule priorities and BiLog predicate checking. The bigraph matching engine is based on a SAT encoding of the subgraph isomorphism problem. A BRS and its labelling function can be exported to text files in tra and csl format, respectively, and used in stochastic model checker PRISM (http://www.prismmodelchecker.org) to carry out quantitative analysis. The graphical representation of bigraphs is generated by the automatic layout generator Graphviz (http://www.graphviz.org).
Use either bigrapher command -h or bigrapher command --help for more information on a specific command.
