State-based System Representation

A State-based System Representation is a system representation that can be used to create state-based modeling solutions (that support system behavior analysis tasks).

• Context:
  • It can typically model State-based System Representation States with state-based system representation elements.
  • It can typically capture State-based System Representation Transitions with state-based system representation relationships.
  • It can typically define State-based System Representation Behaviors with state-based system representation rules.
  • It can typically specify State-based System Representation Conditions with state-based system representation constraints.
  • It can typically document State-based System Representation Flows with state-based system representation pathways.
  • ...
  • It can often enable State-based System Representation Analysis with state-based system representation verification tools.
  • It can often support State-based System Representation Simulation with state-based system representation execution engines.
  • It can often facilitate State-based System Representation Validation with state-based system representation testing frameworks.
  • It can often provide State-based System Representation Documentation with state-based system representation specification languages.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple State-based System Representation to being a Complex State-based System Representation, depending on its state-based system representation complexity level.
  • It can range from being a Formal State-based System Representation to being an Informal State-based System Representation, depending on its state-based system representation formality degree.
  • It can range from being a Partial State-based System Representation to being a Complete State-based System Representation, depending on its state-based system representation coverage scope.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with State-based System Representation Modeling Tools for state-based system representation creation support.
  • It can connect to State-based System Representation Analysis Systems for state-based system representation validation support.
  • It can support State-based System Representation Code Generators for state-based system representation implementation automation.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Graphical State-based System Representations, such as:
    • State Transition Diagrams, such as:
      • Finite State Machine State Transition Diagram for finite state machine behavior modeling.
      • UML State Machine Diagram for object-oriented system state modeling.
    • State Charts, such as:
      • Hierarchical State Chart for complex system state modeling.
      • Concurrent State Chart for parallel system state modeling.
  • Tabular State-based System Representations, such as:
    • State Transition Tables, such as:
      • Finite State Machine State Transition Table for finite state machine specification.
      • Protocol State Transition Table for communication protocol specification.
    • State Decision Tables, such as:
      • Business Rule State Decision Table for business process state modeling.
      • Control Logic State Decision Table for control system state modeling.
  • Textual State-based System Representations, such as:
    • State Description Languages, such as:
      • Formal State Description Language for mathematical system state specification.
      • Natural Language State Description for informal system state documentation.
    • State Specification Languages, such as:
      • Temporal Logic State Specification for temporal system property specification.
      • Algebraic State Specification for mathematical system state definition.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Process-based System Representations, which focus on sequential workflow rather than state-based system representation reactive behavior.
  • Data-based System Representations, which model information structure rather than state-based system representation behavioral dynamics.
  • Function-based System Representations, which emphasize computational operations rather than state-based system representation state transitions.
  • Event-based System Representations, which focus on occurrence sequences rather than state-based system representation state persistence.
