Abstract
A model composition environment can allow for description of fill or partial symbolic system behavior, as well as the combination of models of specific features into compound models. Compositional operators can include intersection, concatenation, substitution, alternating refinement, as well as a set of regular expression-like operators. Models called “action machines” can represent object-oriented, reactive programs, and an action machine may be composed with another action machine using a compositional operator. This can allow for testing of particular scenarios or behaviors.
