For background on the semantics of statecharts and a bit of computer science history, see the following papers and book by Prof. David Harel (the inventor of statecharts) and his collaborators:

The STATEMATE Semantics of Statecharts, 1996

Modeling Reactive Systems with Statecharts: The STATEMATE Approach, 1998

Any software tool recommendations (preferably open source) for creating statecharts?

Not open source but this is an excellent free drawing tool that lets you draw very good looking state charts: http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/ratimode

that's the first time I've ever seen a Rational tool recommended by a user.
