My primary mission in this book is to offer a simple, lightweight alternative to a design automation tool by

providing concrete, efficient, and proven implementations of statecharts that every practitioner reasonably

proficient in C or C++ can start using within days.



• The techniques needed to implement and use UML statecharts — the main constructive element in the

UML specification (presented in Part I).

• A real− time application framework — a complete software infrastructure for executing statecharts,

tailored to embedded real− time systems and based on active objects and asynchronous event passing

(presented in Part II).
