- anonymous events. In this case, you have no event, so your syntax would become:
CurrentState() [Guard()]/(action()) = DestState()
What about this:
CurrentState() any[Guard()]/(action()) = DestState()
Pick another name for "any" if you like.
Hi Rob - I like this too and nearly made the same suggestion. ROOM triggers are a bit more complicated with a port and signal (the event) associated. Either can be described as '*' or any. Ok... I looked up MSM's anonymous transitions again and now I don't like it (o; Christophe ... as far as I can tell by looking at the docs, the MSM use of anonymous transitions transforms the source state to *almost* be a UML choice pseudo state. What I was describing above was actually a transition that matches any event. But an event must occur to "step" the machine forward. Perhaps some refinement can be made such that anonymous transitions can only be associated with a choice pseudo state (introducing the actual choice concept). I am still looking for a way to do what I described. A transition that takes "any" event. michael -- ---------------------------------- Michael Caisse Object Modeling Designs www.objectmodelingdesigns.com
