Abstract
We describe an extension of TwoTowers, a software tool for the functional and performance analysis of concurrent and distributed systems modeled in EMPA, in which a symbolic model based support for data driven computations is implemented and we recall its advantages both from the expressiveness and the analysis standpoint.
