Statecharts and Variabilities.
Nóra Szász, Pedro Vilanova · 2008
We present a formalism that allows to specify the behavior of product lines using UML statecharts. We use feature diagrams to describe the common and variant components of a product line, and define mappings that associate features with statecharts, describing the effect of the features on the products in which they are present. We define how to combine different statecharts that specify possible variants of a line. This definition provides a very simple way to obtain the specification of the behavior of any product of the line. 1
