Extending statecharts to model system interactions
Statecharts are diagrams comprised of visual elements that can improve the modeling of reactive system behaviors. They extend conventional state diagrams with the notions of hierarchy, concurrency and communication. However, when statecharts are considered to support the modeling of system interactions, e.g., in Systems of Systems (SoS), they lack the notions of multiplicity (of systems), and interactions and parallelism (among systems).
