An Execution Semantics for MSC2000

Gerardo Padilla

Abstract
Scenario-based specifications such as Message Sequence Charts, ITU-T MSC 2000 Z.120 (11/99), offer an intuitive and visual way of describing, for example, requirements. Such specifications focus on message exchange among communicating entities. We present an execution model for the Message Sequence Charts defined by an Abstract Execution Machine (AEM) whose features include: basic MSC (bMSC), inline expressions, High level MSC (HMSC) and data. The AEM can be used in two different ways: Accepting or generating traces. In the former case the AEM can be used as a test oracle, in the latter as a test generator. An example of test generation is presented.
