Abstract :
A statechart is an extended form of conventional finite state machines for specifying reactive systems. Though the graphical syntax of statecharts has been defined, there remain concepts that are still ambiguous or need to be improved. In this paper, we formally define static semantics of statecharts. And we identify the types of nondeterminism in statecharts and give alternative ways of representing priority
