Title
Automating Scenario Merging
Abstract
The design of distributed systems requirements often ends with a collection of redundant use cases or scenarios, each of which illustrating a peculiar functionality or a typical execution of the system. The actual behavior of the system under design can be considered as a superposition of all use cases. However, current scenario languages do not propose such superposition mechanism. An operator for Message Sequence Charts defined as a sum of MSCs was proposed recently. However, the designer must provide explicitly the common parts in operands (called the interface) to compute a sum. This paper proposes an automatic construction of this interface based on a heuristic search.
