    EventHelix.com Inc. announces the release of EventStudio 2.5, a
    sequence diagram based system design and architecture modeling
    tool for the Windows platform.

    Sequence diagrams are a very effective way of modeling an object
    oriented system. Unfortunately, most UML based modeling tools only
    offer primitive support for sequence diagrams. EventStudio provides
    advanced constructs for sequence diagram based object modeling.
    EventStudio supports generation of message sequence charts (MSCs)
    and call flow diagrams used in telecom and embedded system development.

    Process workflow generation is supported for business process
    re-engineering applications.

    When modeling with EventStudio, developers describe the interactions
    in the system in terms of a simple declarative modeling language.
    EventStudio then analyzes the model for design errors, inconsistent
    operations, resource leaks and invalid timer operations. Once the
    design issues have been addressed, EventStudio automatically generates
     sequence diagrams and collaboration diagrams.

    EventStudio allows the developers to explore a large number of success
    and failure scenarios without the overhead of individually documenting
    each scenario. The developers define a base scenario and then define
    other
    scenarios by just specifying the differences with the base scenario.
    EventStudio manages the scenario definitions and generates the
    documents
    by merging the base scenario with the specified differences for each
    scenario.

    EventStudio automatically handles diagram layout, formatting, scaling
    and page breaks for sequence diagrams and collaboration diagrams
    generated
    in the Adobe PDF and Microsoft Word Picture (EMF) formats. This allows
    the
    developers to focus on system architecture and design, without getting
    bogged
    down by document layout issues.

    EventStudio has been designed to handle diagram generation for systems
    with a large number of interacting objects. For greater modularity,
    objects in the system can be classified into groups and sub-groups.
    This
    classification is used to generate diagrams that focus on a particular
    aspect of the system, thus enabling better understanding of a
    complicated
    system. Some of the supported document types are: interface documents
    that focus on the interactions involving an object or an object-group;
    a diagram focusing only on the inter-group interfaces; a document that
    only lists messages that match a specified regular expression.

    System Requirements

    EventStudio 2.5 runs under the Windows NT/2000/XP platforms. It
    requires 10 MB
     of disk space. The free Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed to view PDF
    files.

    Price and Availability

    EventStudio 2.5 is available now. The single license is priced at US
    $99;
    deeply discounted multi-license packs are also available.
    EventStudio can be ordered from http://www.EventHelix.com/EventStudio
