Abstract: State Machines are the basic mechanism used to specify the behaviour of objects in UML based object models and admit the possibility of direct animation or execution of a model. Tools that exploit this potential offer the promise of both supporting early validation of a model under development and allowing generation of final code directly from the model. Recently, we have made some new proposals on how state machines are used to model behaviour: firstly, that complex object behaviour can be best modelled by the parallel composition of multiple state machines; and secondly, that a formal distinction can be made between purely event driven machines and those whose states are derived from other information in the model. We illustrate the advantages of this approach with a small example that shows how it can help reduce redundancy and promote simplicity.
