Abstract
We consider a version of Statecharts having transitions with durations. We relate occurrences of transitions with a dense time domain and enforce a strong time semantics. We examine how durations associated with transitions can be changed while preserving behaviour (a retiming). We discuss also how a class of changes of the temporal feature of the environment (i.e. from non-discrete to discrete and vice-versa, shift, speed-up and slow-down) affect behaviour.
