  • Patent number: 8818783
    Abstract: A method for representing state transitions within a state machine includes representing a set of allowed transitions between states as a transition pair wherein a first value of the transition pair indicates a set of nodes from which to transition and a second value of the pair indicates a set of nodes to which to transition. The nodes represent states within a state machine. The method further includes defining a role of an entity within the state machine by assigning a number of transition pairs to the entity, the value pairs defining how the entity can transition through the state machine.
    Type: Grant
