ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a method and a system for operating state machines concurrently in a computing system. One or more state machine families are generated. Each family comprises one master state machine type for receiving service requests from outside its family and for forwarding the received service requests for servicing, and one or more slave state machine types for receiving and servicing the forwarded service requests. A thread pool is allocated to one or more state machine families. Each thread pool is specific to one state machine family and comprises one or more threads for executing the master instance and slave instances of the corresponding state machine family. State machine instances of one or more generated state machine families are assigned to corresponding threads of the allocated thread pools for execution.
