Our History

1992

BRON1 was created, inspired by a paper on Binary Relationship Object Networks from Edinburgh University. The original BRON1 language allowed objects, the data that they contained and their relationships to other objects to be specified. The generator produced C code from the Object network descriptions, including constructors, destructors, link/unlink functions, and various macros for finding and iterating.

1996

FSMGen was created. Around this time there were multiple OO methodologies being promoted, Finite State Machines formed a key part of these methodologies but ended at the design stage. FSMGen produced C code from a finite state machine languge that allowed the incorporation of C code as the action language. It allowed the simple definition of protocols in terms of events and data payloads.

1997

BRON2 was created, bringing together concepts from BRON1 and FSMGen, whilst adding additional concepts to provide a self consistent high level design language and code generator. Finite State Machine action language being C with clearly delineated BRON and C sections with BRON keywords for sending events and FSM control embedded in FSM action language.

About BRON2

2006

After detailed investigation into existing UML methodology and tools, Phillips-NXP funded work to create a gesture (drag and drop) interface for BRON2. The research work done in developing a UI for OO design made VisualBRON possible. Lower overall cost, shorter time to proficiency, lower support cost, and multiple target language support were the reasons for selecting BRON over the available tools and methodologies.

About VisualBRON

2010

Amenuensis Ltd formed with the goals of providing the BRON2 programmers productity tool commercially to software developers, offering software consultancy, and to produce the VisualBRON CASE tool and code generator suite.
