Title
What Do Message Sequence Charts Mean?
Abstract
We propose a semantics for Message Sequence Charts (MSCs). Our requirements are:to determine unambiguously which execution traces are allowed by an MSC; and to usea finite-state interpretation. Our semantics handles both synchronous and asynchronouscommunication. We define a global state automaton from an MSC, by first defining atransition system of global states, and from that a Buchi automaton. In using MSCs,properties of the environment and liveness properties of the MSC itself may be...
