Abstract

Modelling of complex systems with message sequence charts requires several extensions in order to arrive at sufficiently transparent and manageable descriptions. Two extensions of major importance are introduced in this paper: 1) extended high level MSCs denoted as HyperMSCs are allowed to contain MSC references with hypertext-like inscriptions or in expanded form as detailed MSCs; and 2) MSC connectors are introduced in form of MSCs representing high level communication patterns between MSC components. The introduction of MSC connectors may be viewed as a generalisation of the gate concept and as a completion of the MSC language for communicating operator expressions. Moreover, MSC connectors can be employed quite generally as a communication description on a higher level of abstraction - a structural language construct which is still missing in the MSC standard. These new concepts allow a system modelling based on stepwise refinement starting with HyperMSCs, decomposed instances and MSC connector communication.

使用hypermsc和连接器的组件接口描述

使用消息序列图对复杂系统进行建模需要进行一些扩展，以便获得足够透明和可管理的描述。本文介绍了两个重要的扩展:1)被称为HyperMSCs的扩展高级MSCs允许包含具有超文本样铭文的MSC引用或以扩展形式作为详细MSCs;2) MSC连接器以MSC的形式引入，表示MSC组件之间的高级通信模式。MSC连接器的引入可以被视为门概念的概括，并作为通信操作员表达式的MSC语言的完成。此外，MSC连接器可以被广泛地用作更高抽象层次的通信描述——一种在MSC标准中仍然缺失的结构化语言结构。这些新概念允许基于逐步细化的系统建模，从HyperMSCs，分解实例和MSC连接器通信开始。
