UML Statechart Diagrams on the ADONIS Metamodeling Platform

The metamodeling platform ADONIS has originally been implemented for the use in business process management. Its method independency and extensive customization functionalities also allow for the application in many different other areas such as strategic management, e-learning, object-oriented systems engineering, knowledge management, and numerous others. In computer science the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the dominating standard for describing systems and behaviours. In this article it is shown how the abstract and concrete syntax of UML statechart diagrams can be described by the use of the metamodeling concepts of ADONIS.
