            Abstract : 
We introduce and explore a new statechart (sc) abstraction method. We define simplified statecharts (ssc) and discuss the use of action abstraction in ssc models. We isolate sc DNA from UML sc models, and show how this sc DNA can be used to define behavior model metrics and more generally, to manage object behavior.
