State Machines as Mixins
By: Ashley McNeile, Nicholas Simons
Abstract
Research into how statecharts can be used in the context of class generalisation hierarchies has focused on applying the Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) to statecharts. This approach is problematic, and McNeile and Simons describe three reservations. They propose an alternative approach based on mixin-style composition of state transition diagrams.
