What is itemis CREATE?

itemis CREATE, is a modular toolkit for developing, simulating, and generating executable finite-state machines (FSM) or simply state machines.

State machines are useful for the model-driven development of so-called event-discrete systems, i.e., systems that are always in exactly one state of a finite number of states. State machines are particularly well-suited for embedded systems, but they are in no way restricted to them.

With itemis CREATE you can easily develop and simulate state machines, as well as generating them as source code for your target software system.

itemis CREATE is available for three different target platforms; Eclipse, Visual Studio Code and the Web.

itemis CREATE Editions

All target platforms support diagram editing, simulation and code generation.

itemis CREATE for Eclipse has some additional features available:

Which licensing rules do apply to itemis CREATE?

The code generators coming with itemis CREATE do not imply any license constraints on the generated code whatsoever. The generated code is property of the user, as a person or as an organization. For the generated code, the user is free to choose any license model they wish.

Who is behind itemis CREATE?

itemis CREATE is developed and driven by itemis AG, a well-known consulting company specialized on model-based development. itemis is providing professional services around itemis CREATE, be it training or on-site consulting, be it development of prototypes or implementation of full-blown IDEs for programming languages, you name it. The itemis CREATE developers do not only know the framework very well but are also experts in programming and domain-specific language design.

Who is using itemis CREATE?

Initially itemis CREATE was designed for the embedded systems industry: automotive, system controls, vending machines etc. However, itemis CREATE is bringing the benefits of finite-state machines (FSM) and Harel statecharts to everyone who needs to design, simulate and develop behavior. People can use itemis CREATE to generate C, C++, C#, Java or Python code.
