Today's corporations often must operate across organizational boundaries. Phenomena such as electronic commerce, extended enterprises, and the Internet stimulate cooperation ...
Abstract. A message sequence chart (MSC) is a standard notation for describing the interaction between communicating objects. It is popular among the designers of communication pro...
Hierarchical Message Sequence Charts are a well-established formalism to specify telecommunication protocols. In this model, numerous undecidability results were obtained recently ...
Abstract. We introduce dynamic communicating automata (DCA), an extension of communicating finite-state machines that allows for dynamic creation of processes. Their behavior can ...
The recent major revision of the UML (see [4]) has introduced significant changes and additions. In particular, Message Sequence Charts (MSC) according to the ISO standard (see [...
An evolutionary approach to design communication protocols from scenario-based specifications is presented. It enables to automatically generate finite-state models of protocol ent...
Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) are a graphical language for the description of scenarios in terms of message exchanges between communicating components in a distributed environment...
This paper is concerned with bridging the gap between requirements, provided as a set of scenarios, and conforming design models. The novel aspect of our approach is to exploit lea...
We examine a bidirectional Propositional Dynamic Logic (PDL) for message sequence charts (MSCs) extending LTL and TLC− . Every formula is translated into an equivalent communicat...
Scenario languages based on Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) have been widely studied in the last decade [21,20,3,15,12,19,14]. The high expressive power of MSCs renders many basic ...
