“…Apart from structural models, behavioral models, especially state machines, are also common sources in model to code transformations [4]. Different methods are used to transform concepts of state machines into code, e.g., replication of states by attributes, applying state design patterns, and others, [11,[17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…There are some approaches that try to cover state machine models in more comprehensive way. They considered composite states [11,17], state machines labelled with constrains in the OCL language [21], or composite states with history [14]. Some solutions apply more complete set of state machine concepts, as IBM Raphsody [26], Umple [11], although most of them do not support the C# language.…”

The paper presents an approach to semantic mutation of state machines that specify class behavior in Model-Driven Software Development. The mutations are aimed at different variants of UML state machine behavior. Mutation testing of a target application allows to compare different semantic interpretations and verify a set of test cases. We present a notation of a process combining model-driven development with semantic mutation and semantic consequence-oriented mutations. Origin and details of the proposed mutation operators are discussed. The approach has been supported by the Framework for eXecutable UML (FXU) that creates a C# application from UML classes and state machines. The tool architecture has been reengineered in order to apply semantic mutation operators into the model-driven development process and realize testing on a set of semantic mutants. The tool and the implemented mutation operators have been verified in a case study on a status service for a social network.

“…This should provide for easier integration of automated and manual operations in a production environment. A potentially interesting avenue of review is the automatic generation of certain aspects of the control or test code for the system, followed by the comprehensibility by a designer, tester, or operator of the system; previous work in the area has highlighted a number of challenges [19,45].…”

A Function-Behaviour-Structure design methodology for adaptive production systems

Adaptive production systems are a key trend in modern advanced manufacturing. This stems from the requirement for the system to respond to disruption, either in the form of product changes or changes to other operational parameters. The design and reconfiguration of these systems are therefore a unique challenge for the community. One approach to systems design is based on functional and behavioural modelling, drawn from the field of design theory. Existing approaches suffer from lack of focus on the adaptive properties of the system. While traditional production systems design focusses on the physical system structure and associated processes, new approaches based on functional and behavioural models are particularly suited to addressing the challenges of disruptive production environments resulting from Industry 4.0 and similar trends. We therefore present a Function-Behaviour-Structure (FBS) methodology for Evolvable Assembly Systems (EAS), a class of self-adaptive reconfigurable production systems, comprising an ontology model and design process. The ontology model provides definitions for Function, Structure, and Behaviour of an adaptive production system. This model is used as the input to a functional modelling design process for EAS-like systems, where the design process must be integrated into the system control behaviour. The framework is illustrated with an example taken from a real EAS instantiation using industrial hardware.

“…In this section, we present the design pattern for implementing the UML state chart diagram. In our previous work [39] we have presented a design pattern for concurrent and hierarchical states. Another important feature of state diagram, the state history, is incorporated in the new pattern, named as ''Template HHCStateMachine'', as shown in figure 12.…”

The fact that event driven systems can be modeled and implemented using unified modeling language (UML) state chart diagrams has led to the development of code generation tools. These are tremendously helpful in making software system designs and can even generate skeletal source code from these designs. The implementation of such automatic code generation from state diagrams is not fully supported by the existing programming languages. The major down side is that there is no one-to-one correspondence between the elements in the state chart diagram and the programming constructs. The existing programming elements cannot effectively implement two main components of the state diagram namely, state hierarchy and concurrency. In this paper, we present a novel design pattern for the implementation of the state diagram which includes hierarchical, concurrent, and history states. The state transitions of parallel states are delegated to the composite state class. The architecture of the code generator and the step by step process of code generation from UML state machine are proposed in the paper. The proposed approach is implemented and compared with similar tools and the results are found to be promising.
