Apparatus and method for synthesizing program specification from independent sets of tables

摘要

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for synthesizing a plurality of program component specifications into a single program component specification. Each program component transforms its state in operation, responding to an input of an event and in turn outputs another event in accordance with the transformation to the other program components. The program component specifications each includes a table showing events to be inputted therein, a table showing states of the program component in operation, a table showing state transformations in response to the input events, and a table showing events to be outputted therefrom according to the state transformations.
