Full quote StateMachine execution is represented by transitions from one active state configuration to another in response to Event occurrences that match the Triggers of the StateMachine. Next snippet Related snippets A StateMachine or composite State may contain multiple Regions representing behaviors that may occur in parallel. In general, a StateMachine can have multiple Regions, each of which may contain States of its own, some of which may be composites with their own multiple Regions, etc. Consequently, a particular “state” of an executing StateMachine instance is represented by one or more hierarchies of States, starting with the topmost Regions of the StateMachine and down through the composition hierarchy to the simple, or leaf, States. Similarly, we can talk about such a hierarchy of substates within a composite State. This complex hierarchy of States is referred to as a state configuration (of a State or a StateMachine). For example, one valid state configuration for an execution of the StateMachine depicted in Figure 14.9 is: <CourseAttempt - Studying – (Studying::Lab2, Studying::TermProject, Studying::FinalTest)>.
