Day 1 of 2
Modeling Complex Logic Flows	Objective: Implement decision flows with flow diagrams. Understanding flow graphs Constructing a flow graph Semantics of a flow graph
Modeling State Machines	Objective: Implement state machines with state diagrams. Understanding state machines Constructing a state machine State actions Semantics of a state transition Inner flow graphs
Implementing Hierarchical State Machines	Objective: Implement hierarchical diagrams to improve clarity of state machine designs. Reasons to use hierarchy Constructing a multilevel state machine Behavior of a multilevel state machine Recovering active substates Semantics of a cross-level state transition
Implementing Multiprocessing State Machines	Objective: Implement parallel states to model multiprocessing designs. Reasons for using parallelism Constructing a multiprocessing state machine Behavior of parallel states

Day 2 of 2
Using Events in State Charts	Objective: Use events within a Stateflow chart to affect chart execution. Using events in state charts Broadcasting events Behavior of state charts that contain events Implicit events Temporal logic operators
Calling Functions from State Charts	Objective: Create functions in a Stateflow chart out of Simulink blocks, MATLAB code, and flow graphs. Types of functions available Simulink functions MATLAB^® functions Graphical functions
Implementing Truth Tables	Objective: Implement truth tables Understanding truth tables Constructing a truth table Populating the condition and action tables Specifying the decision set Binding actions to the decision set
Managing the Stateflow Design Interface	Objective: Reuse Stateflow designs and interact with Simulink data. Considering the design interface in Stateflow software Accessing bus signals and data store memory Creating a reusable design with Stateflow software Sharing data and functions with other charts

Prerequisites
