Practical UML Statecharts in C/C++: Event-Driven Programming for Embedded Systems

Practical UML Statecharts in C/C++ Second Edition bridges the gap between high-level abstract concepts of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the actual programming aspects of modern hierarchical state machines (UML statecharts). The book describes a lightweight, open source, event-driven infrastructure, called QP that enables direct manual coding UML statecharts and concurrent event-driven applications in C or C++ without big tools. Part I provides a practical description of relevant state machine concepts. In Part II, readers will find a detailed design study of a generic real-time framework.
