Abstract
The need for workflow management has become readily apparent in recent years, and in order to manage various business workflow features, a conceptual modeling or specification of workflow is paramount. State chart is a visual language for software requirement specification that has been widely used due to its compactness, expressiveness, compositionality, and modularity. This paper presents a tutorial of the State chart visual language and how it can be used for workflow specification.
