Summary:Statecharts, popular for modeling system behavior in the
structural analysis paradigm, are part of a fully executable language
set for modeling object-oriented systems. The languages form the core of
the emerging Unified Modeling Language. The authors embarked on an
effort to develop an integrated set of diagrammatic languages for object
modeling, built around statecharts, and to construct a supporting tool
that produces a fully executable model and allows automatic code
synthesis. The language set includes two constructive modeling languages
(languages containing the information needed to execute the model or
translate it into executable code)
