Automatic code generation from UML-like statecharts

Hi,


I am a PhD studenta carrying on a project on code generation for
embedded systems. Currently considered approach is to generate C code
from UML-like (though more restricted) state charts. Different methods
are considered including from interpreting action tables (or table-like
data structures), embedded decision trees to generating direct programs
in C. There is a wide range of interesting aspects in optimizing state
charts (far much beyond the standard speed-size rtade off).


The work is aimed at embedded systems but efficient implementations of
state charts may have wider applications (including scanning, parsing,
theorem proving or even data compression).


I would be very glad either to hear from anybody working on efficient
implementations of state charts. Also if you know any interesting
resource (book/website/article/etc) let me know about it.
