This paper presents a modeling language to modularize the features of a system using orthogonal regions and to man-age the interactions between these features. Orthogonal regions are a language construct to structure a state ma-chine into a set of semi-independent behaviors. We intro-duce two concepts to manage the interactions between regions. First, we present a notion of interface between re-gions which captures the essence of their interactions. Second, we introduce a transactional composition operator to synchronize the regions and check the interaction for non-determinism and termination. The approach is eva-luated by comparing a monolithic legacy implementation of a telecommunication component to two refactored implementations. Our results show that transactional region composition can achieves independence between the im-plementations of the features of the system and that it improves the cohesion of the regions, compared to classic regions.
