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 within this
paper: on the one side, extended High Level MSCs denoted
as HyperMSCs are allowed to contain MSC references
with hypertext-like inscriptions or in expanded form
as detailed MSCs; on the other side, 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 obviously
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
