Abstract

Statecharts are state-transition machines endowed with hierarchy on states and parallelism on transitions. It is shown that a statechart is described by a pair of relations over transitions (a transition structure), the former describing causality and the other describing a notion of asymmetric independence. A statechart can be effectively constructed from its transition structure. Transition structures corresponding to a subclass of Statecharts are characterized. Natural notions of morphisms among transition structures allow to define classes of statechart transformations which preserve behaviour.KeywordsTransition StructureParallel ComponentGood StructureClassical SemanticStandard SemanticThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
