1. A computing device implemented method comprising:

  • providing, using the computing device, a representation of a state machine including a plurality of states organized in a hierarchy, the plurality of states interconnected via one or more transitions;

    processing the state machine using multiple-stage processing, wherein;

    the multiple-stage processing includes a first processing stage and a second processing stage,the one or more transitions of the state machine include one or more first type transitions and one or more second type transitions, andthe processing is performed using a computing device;

    processing valid first type transitions during the first processing stage, the first processing stage processing a first type transition irrespective of the hierarchy; and

    processing valid second type transitions during the second processing stage, the second processing stage processing the one or more second type transitions irrespective of the hierarchy.
