<!--l. 11--><p class="noindent" >eTrice is all about the reduction of complexity:
     <ul class="itemize1">
     <li class="itemize">structural complexity
         <ul class="itemize2">
         <li class="itemize">by explicit modeling of hierarchical Actor containment, layering and
         inheritance</li></ul>
     </li>
     <li class="itemize">behavioral complexity
         <ul class="itemize2">
         <li class="itemize">by hierachical statemachines with inheritance</li></ul>
     </li>
     <li class="itemize">teamwork complexity
         <ul class="itemize2">
         <li class="itemize">because loosely coupled Actors provide a natural way to structure
         team work
         </li>
         <li class="itemize">since textual model notation allows simple branching and merging</li></ul>
     </li>
     <li class="itemize">complexity of concurrent &amp; distributed systems
         <ul class="itemize2">
         <li class="itemize">because loosely coupled Actors are deployable to threads, processes,
         nodes</li></ul>
     </li>
     <li class="itemize">complexity of variant handling and reuse (e.g. for product lines)
         <ul class="itemize2">
         <li class="itemize">by composition of existing Actors to new structures
         </li>
         <li class="itemize">since Protocols and Ports make Actors replaceable
         </li>
         <li class="itemize">by inheritance for structure, behavior and Protocols

     <li class="itemize">complexity of debugging
         <ul class="itemize2">
         <li class="itemize">model level debugging: state machine animation, data inspection and
         manipulation, message injection, generated message sequence charts
         </li>
         <li class="itemize">model checking easier for model than for code (detect errors before
