In this paper UML statechart diagrams are used as an example of a generic approach to integrating a visual language in a heterogeneous modelling and simulation environment. A system represented in a visual language is syntactically defined as an attributed graph, with well-formedness rules specified by a set of first-order predicates over the abstract syntax of the graph. The language semantics are specified by an Abstract State Machine (ASM) parameterized with syntactically-correct attributed graphs. In this paper the key issues in the definition of UML statechart semantics are highlighted.
