Ironically there is no pseudo-code :( I'm converting a State-transition
network to BPEL, where each state is a sequence of steps. Each state can
lead to one or more other states until a terminal state is reached. (There
is some logic in there to remove cyclic paths, so effectively its an
acylic-graph)
A state can only execute one at a time, so there is no concurrency, i.e I
would like to model:
,D
.'
A -> B ->C '--------F
`\
\,
E
Where the route to D E or F can be conditional, currently A,B,C, D, E and
F are represented as indvidual 'sequences' inside a flow with the
transitions beween them done as links. If there are conditional links
leading from a state then that state will have a link to an 'if' element
which contains the relevant tests and the source element of a link to the
'next' correct state.
Does this make sense at all ?
Many Thanks
