Just curious, whether anyone in the compiler world has tried using a
StateChart-like representation:


@Article{harel:88,
    key = "harel:88",
    author = "David Harel",
    title = "On Visual Formalisms",
    journal = "Communications of the ACM",
    volume = "31",
    number = "5",
    pages = "514-30",
    month = "May",
    year = "1988"
}


It's been tried for behavioral synthesis:


@Book{gajski:etal:94,
    key = "gajski:etal:94",
    author = "Daniel D. Gajski et al.",
    title = "Specification and Design of Embeded Systems",
    publisher = "PTR Prentice Hall",
    year = "1994"
}
