English abstract:
Given the advance of IoT applications, coordination of concurrent and distributed systems will become ever more important. However, the concepts are sometimes hard to grasp and comprehensive modelling tools with a high abstraction from cumbersome messaging code must be found. Readability and compact representation is often a selling point for graphical notations. But how does one substantiate that claim? How can textual and graphical notations be compared? We have conducted a small readability study comparing the basic Event-B to the graphical notation of the Peer Model - a compact and powerful coordination model. We discuss the results and lessons learned from this initial
study.

Keywords:
coordination model; Peer Model; Event-B; readability of designs
