Simulation of two or more Statecharts executing in parallel

[Joel Greenyer]

Hi,
I would like to know whether YAKINDU allows me to simulate multiple Statecharts executed in parallel.
By "in parallel" I don't mean orthogonal states, but multiple, separate Statecharts (of multiple components, if you so want).

If yes, then I'd appreciate a pointer to documents, or sample models.

Thanks

Joel

Hi Joel,

I have done a project with 3 separate state machines running simultaneously. Simply create them, generate their code and run them. Each machine can be used via its own interface.

Hi Joel,

currently it is possible to simulate multiple statecharts at once and also multiple instances of the same statechart model at the same time. Just run them and select the instance you want to get visualized in the editor from the debug view on the top. 

It is not possible so far to have communication between different running statemachines, (i.e. Statemachine A sends an event to Statemachine B) but we are working on this topic.

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,
I see. Well, I was hoping that I could simulate different communicating Statecharts. Hope that this will be supported soon.

Thanks for the info.

Hi Andreas,

One question regarding this topic.

Lets say that I have a statechart modeling the behavior of a Service. and lets say that I can have X instances of those services (X unknown). Then I have a second statechart modeling the global behavior of the whole set  (like disabling Services, etc), and therefore I need a way for any of the Services to send an event to the global statechart, and viceversa (as the response). Is this what you are working at? Is there any estimation on when it will be available?

What would be currently the best approach to model that?

Thanks

Hi Rubén,

we are working on simulation of a fixed set of statecharts using the notion of components. 

Handling a dynamic number of statecharts is not planned yet but it will be possible to set up such a scenario by contributing custom simulation plugins.

This topic is work in progress, but i sadly can't give a concrete date yet.

Best regards,

Axel

Thanks Axel,

I was just thinking also, that allowing a statechart to be used as a type in the description language would also work out and it'd be a nice feature as well.

This seems really nice. Looking forward to it! :)
