I'm looking for a C++ Class Library for a general "state machine engine".
This would execute a state machine represented by a table (or whatever)
of transitions and actions.  Objects would have their own state variables, 
but the engine would determine the next state and the action to take on 
the transition.
 
The theoretical basis could be finite state automata, or perhaps Petri Nets.
 
Does anyone out there know of any libraries that are available for this?
 
Thanks for your comments.
