Book Description

The book provides a detailed description of a set of languages for modelling reactive systems, which underlies the STATEMATE toolset. The approach is dominated by the language of Statecharts, used to describe behavior, combined Activity-charts for describing activities (i.e., the functional building blocks-capabilities or objects) and the data that flows between them.

These two languages are used to develop a conceptual model of the system, which can be combined with the system's physical, or structural model, described in a third language-Module-charts. The three languages are highly diagrammatic in nature, constituting full-fledged visual formalisms, complete with rigorous semantics. They are accompanied by a Data Dictionary for specifying additional parts of the model that are textual in nature.

• Author David Harel invented Statecharts, and he and coauthor Michal Politi co-developed the other two languages in the set. Ms. Politi also headed the Statemate development team for more than a decade. Their work has earned them the Most Influential Paper Award from the International Conference on Software Engineering, and Harel's work on the language of Statecharts has won him the Stevens Award in Software Development Methods in 1996 and the first Israel Prime Minister's Prize for Software in 1997.

• Introduction to the Modeling and Analysis of Complex Systems

  This textbook offers an accessible yet technically-oriented introduction to the modeling and analysis of complex systems. Complex systems are systems made of a large number of microscopic components interacting with each other in nontrivial ways.

• Modeling and Simulation in Python (Allen B. Downey)

  This book is an introduction to physical modeling using a computational approach with Python. You will learn how to use Python to accomplish many common scientific computing tasks: importing, exporting, and visualizing data; numerical analysis; etc.

• Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications

  Long considered important pillars of the scientific method, Modelling and Simulation have evolved from traditional discrete numerical methods to complex data-intensive continuous analytical optimisations.
