Abstract

A scalechart is a set of statecharts, operating in a dense time domain, whose behavior is self-similar at different scales. The simplicity of extracting proofs of behavior from scalecharts is demonstrated, based on the < and co relationships. An algorithm is presented which automatically extracts < relationships from a simplified version of scalecharts.
