  1. State Machine Model

  2. State Machine View • describes the dynamic behavior of objects over time • each object is treated in isolation • the view describes the events and operations that manipulate the object • the state view of the entire system is described by a collection of state diagrams, one corresponding to each class in the system C-S 546

  3. About State Diagram • one state diagram per class in the class diagram • one logical state diagram may be spread out into one or more physical diagrams for space considerations • enrichment of the finite state machine model • based on David Harel’s State charts, tailored towards object-orientation C-S 546

  4. Main components of a state diagram • a collection of states of the object under consideration • a collection of actions while entering a state, existing a state or within a state • a collection of transitions between the states of the object • a collection of events that trigger transitions • a collection of conditions (optional) that might constrain the triggering of events, or implementations of transitions C-S 546

  5. State diagram – basic syntax event (params) [guard] / action (params) initial State name actions entry/ … exit/ … do/ event (params) event (params) actions final Unnamed states C-S 546

  6. State diagram - semantics • there must be exactly one initial state and one or more final states • a transition between states is represented by the event that triggers the transition (a more concrete definition given later) • transitions may have guards or conditions under which the transitions fire • the actions associated with a transition will be executed as soon as the transition fires C-S 546

  7. State diagram – semantics (continued) • a state may optionally have a label • every state may have • an entry action – executed as soon as the state is entered • an exit action – executed just before leaving the state • a “do” action – executed while the object is in this state; may be ongoing until the object leaves the state C-S 546

  8. State – a formal definition • is a condition during the life of an object during which the object performs an action or waits for some event • is represented by the collection of attributes and their corresponding values • an object after being created must be at one particular state at any instant • unless otherwise mentioned, an object remains in a state for a finite time • UML allows modeling of transient states (states that exist only for a very short and insignificant duration) C-S 546

  9. State – a formal definition (continued) • (directly or indirectly) includes links (instances of associations) connected with the object at that instant • may be decomposed into concurrent substates (AND relationship) • may be composed using mutually exclusive disjoint substates (OR relationship) C-S 546

  10. Event – a formal definition • a noteworthy occurrence • UML manual • something that happens within the system or interacting with the system at an instant • something that has a significant impact on the system • examples • sending a signal or data • receiving a signal or data • making a request for execution • a Boolean condition becoming true • a timeout condition becoming true • … C-S 546

  11. Four types of events in UML • signal event • occurs when an object sends a signal to another object • call event • occurs when a method or operation in an object is invoked • change event • occurs when a Boolean condition is changed • time event • occurs when a time limit has reached C-S 546

  12. Representation of events • events are represented by unique labels in the diagram • sometimes the transitions that are fired by the occurrence of the event is also represented by the same label • change event labels are preceded by the keyword “when” • time event labels are preceded by the keyword “after” C-S 546

  13. Generating an Event • an event is generated by the runtime system • asking for inputs • producing outputs • execution of a method • transfer control of execution from one object to another (sending messages or receiving messages) • abnormal termination • error handling, exceptions C-S 546

  14. Temporal properties of Events • an event is considered to be instantaneous • occurrence of an event causes negligible time • this time is not included in the modeling • events may have precedence relationships among them • “opening an account” precedes “depositing into account” • “graduation” occurs only after “finishing all requirements” and “clearing pending dues” C-S 546

  15. Transition • represents the change of states of an object • switch from “Joined University” to “Registered for Fall” • is an abstraction of an operation • registering for a course • has finite and significant duration • time taken to complete registration of one course C-S 546

  16. Transition (continued) • may have parameters • a transition corresponding to the registration process may have “course name” and “prerequisites” as parameters. • is triggered/invoked/fired by the occurrence of an event • change of semester from “Summer” to “Fall” may initiate the registration process • request by administration or department may initiate the registration process C-S 546

  17. Transition (continued) • may have a guard/condition • transition for registration may require that the student must have his/her ID validated • transition for graduation may require previous library dues to be paid off • transition to admit new students may require that the students can register only after officially admitted into the program • an event may cause several transitions to fire • completion of registration process may cause the course object to update its enrolment and at the same time, the account object to update the tuition fees to be paid C-S 546

  18. Transition (continued) • is normally identified by the same label as the event that fires the transition • “register”, “withdraw”, … • may be associated with an action • different from actions associated with the states • “register” may have an action to check the validity of parameters, to check that no previous registration has been done for the same set of parameters etc. C-S 546

  19. Example 1 – State of a “Student” : Student Student name : String id : Integer courses : set of CourseID name = “John” id = 1514601 courses = {CS546, CS742} Class definition The state of a student object : Student name = “John” id = 1514601 courses = {CS546, CS742, CS551} Another state of the student object C-S 546

  20. Example 1 – simplified representation : Student Student courses = {CS546,CS742} courses : set of CourseID : Student courses = {CS546, CS742, CS551} Indicate only those attributes that define change of state C-S 546

  21. Example 1 – state diagram for Student class register [#courses < minRequired] / updateCourses() register[#courses < minRequired] / updateCourses() Initial continuing entry/ initializeCourses() register [#courses >= minRequired] / updateCourses() completed graduated C-S 546

  22. Example 1 - Exercise • The given state diagram for the student class is incomplete. Complete the diagram to include all the transitions and also include transitions that correspond to withdrawing from a course C-S 546

  23. Example 2 – State diagram for Account class in ATM withdrawNormal [amt < balance] / withdraw() deposit/ deposit() Normal initial deposit / deposit() open/ open() withdraw [amt = balance] / withdraw() depositOP [amt < -balance] / deposit() withdrawInitial / withdraw() close/ close() depositOP [amt=-balance]/ deposit() Overdraft withdrawOP / withdraw() C-S 546 closeAC [amt=-balance] / deposit()

  24. Example 2 - Exercise • Complete the state diagram for the Account class in ATM, by including any missing transitions. • The diagram assumes that there is no limit on overdraft protection. Make changes to the diagram assuming that there is an overdraft limit of $N. C-S 546

  25. Communications between objects • Objects communicate by sending messages to each other. • A message is realized as an event/transition in a state diagram. • The object that sends the message is said to generate an event. • Modeled by the action associated with the transition • The object that receives the message is said to realize / accept that event. C-S 546

  26. Example – A user object in ATM Deposit / deposit_User() Using Machine Withdraw / withdraw_User () C-S 546

  27. Documentation • State: Using Machine • This is the only state for this object and hence no need to enumerate the variables by which this state is defined • Transitions • Event : Deposit • Parameters : amount • Conditions : None • Action: deposit_User (amount) • Events generated: deposit OR depositOP • Communicating objects : Account • Event : Withdraw • Parameters : amount • Conditions : None • Action: withdraw_User (amount) • Events generated : withdraw OR withdrawOP OR withdrawInitial or withdrawNormal • Communicating objects : Account C-S 546

  28. Documentation – alternate style • State: Using Machine • This is the only state for this object and hence no need to enumerate the variables by which this state is defined • Transitions • Deposit (amount) / deposit_User (amount); Account.deposit (amount) OR Account.depositOP (amount) • Withdraw (amount) / withdraw_User (amount); Account.withdraw (amount) OR Account.withdrawOP (amount) Account.withdrawNormal (amount) Account.withdrawInitial (amount) C-S 546

  29. Simple and composite states • A state is composite, in contrast to a simple state, if it has a graphical decomposition • UML Manual version 1.5 • A diagram for a composite state has two or more sub-diagrams connected by simple and/or concurrent transitions • Example: concurrent states • The word “superstate” is used sometimes to refer to a composite state C-S 546

  30. Composite State – basic syntax Simple State Simple State C-S 546

  31. Composite State – Transparent Transitions Simple State Simple State C-S 546

  32. No CD Loaded Composite State - Example Eject CD drawer closed CD drawer open Power OFF Power ON [no CD] Eject [no CD] Eject Eject [CD in] CD loaded Power ON [CD in] CD playing Pause CD paused Pause or Play Power OFF Stop Stop CD stopped Play C-S 546

  33. Observations • The state diagram for the CD player example indicates a composite state that includes two MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE states • The player will be in only one of these two substates at any time, but not in both at the same time • The guard condition on the initial state chooses the appropriate substate upon Power ON • There is only one terminal state that is common to both the substates C-S 546

  34. Abstract view of the CD player Eject No CD loaded Power ON [no CD] Eject [CD in] Power OFF Power ON [CD in] CD loaded C-S 546

  35. Composite State with Concurrent Transitions Concurrent transition Concurrent transition Composite State C-S 546

  36. Concurrent States - example Student attending a course Incomplete Lab done Lab done Lab 1 Lab 2 passed Project done Project Final exam pass fail failed C-S 546

  37. Observations • If a composite state has concurrent substates, • an entry point to the composite state represents a concurrent transition, even if it is not represented • an exit point from the composite state represents a concurrent transition, even if it is not represented • all concurrent substates start at the same time • the composite state terminates only when all the concurrent substates terminate C-S 546

  38. Observations (continued) • if there is a transition from any one of the substates that lead to a state outside the composite state, then all the other concurrent substates terminate prematurely • the transition “fail” in the third substate illustrates this situation C-S 546

  39. Composite State - Exercise • Draw a composite state diagram for the following problem: • Show the state of 3 phones when all of them are in use in a conference call • Hint: First identify the various values for the status of a phone C-S 546

  40. State diagrams and specialization • Inheritance mechanism allows to redefine only behaviors of a superclass and not the structure of the superclass • The structure of a subclass must be the same or a superset of the structure of the superclass • Every state of a superclass object is also a valid state of the subclass object • The state diagram of a superclass can be inherited into the state diagram of a subclass C-S 546
