State Transition Diagrams

چکیده
State transition diagrams are a graphic notation that has long been used to represent computing systems. Two basic models of state transition diagrams were introduced simultaneously by G.H. Mealy and E.F. Moore in the mid fifties, and have played a major role in hardware design for a long time. These basic models have been expanded significantly in the recent past to include such features as the ability to represent hierarchy, timing and communication, and have been used to model complex software systems. In this section, we discuss the original models of state transition diagrams, their semantic definition and their extensions; then we discuss current application domains and support tools.

State Transition Diagrams Radu Grosu Cornel
In this paper, we present a general concept of state transition diagrams well-suited for various modeling purposes. Our notation is tailored for the description of asynchronous time-independent agents. We start by proposing a graphical and textual syntax, and deene an abstract syntax for both notations. The semantics of state transition diagrams deened by translating the abstract syntax into ti...
متن کاملUML Analysis Using State Diagrams
This article demonstrates a new approach to analyzing UML designs using state and sequence diagrams. From multiple state diagrams, a super-state diagram which includes the cross-product of the selected states is built along with a transition matrix of possible transitions. The closure of the transition matrix is used to identify unreachable states and impossible transitions. Additionally, the c...
متن کاملTLA in Pictures
Predicate-action diagrams, which are similar to standard state-transition diagrams, are precisely defined as formulas of TLA (the Temporal Logic of Actions). We explain how these diagrams can be used to describe aspects of a specification—and those descriptions then proved correct— even when the complete specification cannot be written as a diagram. We also use the diagrams to illustrate proofs...
متن کاملSHERBROOKE Algebraic State Transition Diagrams
This paper introduces a graphical notation called algebraic state transition diagrams (ASTD), which allows for the combination of state transition diagrams using classical process algebra operators like sequence, iteration, parallel composition, quantified choice and quantified synchronization. It is inspired from automata, statecharts and process algebras. Hence, it combines the strength of al...
