), the leading supplier of embedded software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed.  solutions, today announced the availability of BetterState, a PC-based statechart modeling, simulation, and automatic code generation tool, acquired from R-Active, Inc. Effective immediately, Dr. Doron Drusinsky, the creator of BetterState and owner of R-Active, will join ISI to drive continued development of BetterState, and integration of BetterState and statechart technology with ISI's MATRIXx software design tools and pSOSystem(tm) real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. .

"Statecharts, and BetterState in particular, shine in the context of a heterogeneous system-level design tool, such as MATRIXx. The combined product can truly address the state-of-the-art complex and heterogeneous designs of the automotive, semiconductor manufacturing, medical electronics and avionics industries. I am very pleased to be able to integrate the capabilities of BetterState with ISI's product families in order to meet our combined customers' emerging requirements," said Dr. Drusinsky.

Statecharts are being used increasingly for embedded software development because of their power in modeling reactive software systems. BetterState's statecharts allow developers to model a complex software system's reactions to asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end.  external stimulus and to automatically generate production-quality embedded code from a designed and validated statechart.

"Many of our customers have asked us for statechart design capability," said David St. Charles, ISI president and chief executive officer. "BetterState is an ideal solution to our customers' needs, as well as a powerful addition to our product capabilities."

Statecharts are an increasingly popular extension of the well known state transition diagrams, augmented with hierarchy (for state nesting and top down design within state diagrams), concurrence CONCURRENCE, French law. The equality of rights, or privilege which several persons-have over the same thing; as, for example, the right which two judgment creditors, Whose judgments were rendered at the same time, have to be paid out of the proceeds of real estate bound by them. Dict. de Jur. h.t.  (for the specification and design of multiple, partially independent sub statecharts within other states), visual priorities, and visual synchronization. As such, statecharts are being used to address complex control systems, which traditionally have been too difficult to design using conventional state diagrams. Statecharts are powerful, intuitive, and convey information in a highly appealing visual format.

BetterState will remain an independent product as well as become an integral part of ISI's existing family of software tools. ISI is already integrating BetterState with the company's MATRIXx design environment. The first levels of integration allow co-simulation of BetterState statecharts with the MATRIXx SystemBuild(tm) product, and linkage of BetterState-generated C source code with C source code generated from the MATRIXx AutoCode(r) product. ISI will demonstrate the integrated BetterState and MATRIXx capabilities at the Society of Automotive Engineering Noun 1. automotive engineering - the activity of designing and constructing automobiles
