Shouldn't the resolution include the actual diagram that's going to be used. The one I can see has all sorts of weird extra loops and visual artifacts. I think there should be two separate figures with labels identifying one as the normal representation and the other as the more compact state list version. The use of a dashed separator line makes it look like two regions. I don't think transaction g and state S4 are necessary. They're not mentioned in the text, so why add them? Transition f is for the history state, but it isn't mentioned in the text. Given figure 14.13 is a full example of the state list notation and is the only thing described in the text, what is the point of figure 14.14? This is perhaps a different issue, but representing the history state as a reflexive transition on the state list doesn't seem terribly obvious to me. It seems to be overloading the transition notation. It's also not clear to me how it distinguishes between shallow and deep history. Dave On 16/03/13 21:03, Manfred R.
