Abstract

Statecharts are a very widely used formalism for reactive system development, however there are problems in using them as a fully formal specification notation because of the conflicting variants of statechart semantics which exist. In this paper a modular subset of statechart notation is defined which has a simple semantics, and permits compositional development and verification. Techniques for decomposing specifications in this notation, design strategies for incorporating fault tolerance, and translation to the B formal language, are also described, and illustrated with extracts from a case study of a fault tolerant system.
