Abstract:
We present a new method to translate the established and well-known ConcurTaskTree (CTT) task modeling technique into state machines. For this purpose, we develop the concepts of partial state machines, Connectables and a connect operator, which form the theoretical framework for a new algorithm. For the translation, we develop and present a recursive, bottom-up algorithm, which exploits the inherent structure of CTTs and produces valid, partial state machines. This allows new development processes in the model-driven application and system development domain.
