ABSTRACT:
A generic software state machine (10) for implementing a software application in an object oriented environment includes a set of entity objects (20, 30) defined for software elements of the software application, a set of state objects (26, 34, 38, 40) defined for each entity object representative of states that the software element may enter, and a set of event objects (36, 42) defined for each state object representative of inputs that the software element may receive or actions the software element may encounter while in the state represented by the state object.
