title = "Enhanced code generation from UML composite state machines",
abstract = "UML modelling tools provide poor support for composite state machine code generation. Generated code is typically complex and large, especially for composite state machines. Existing approaches either do not handle this case at all or handle it by flattening the composite state machine into a simple one with a combinatorial explosion of states, and excessive generated code. This paper presents a new approach that transforms a composite state machine into an equivalent set of simple state machines before code generation. This avoids the combinatorial explosion and leads to more concise and scalable generated code. We implement our approach in Umple. We report on a case study, comparing our approach to others in terms of code size and scalability.",
