From MSC-2000 to UML 2.0 - The Future of Sequence Diagrams
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses how MSC-2000 could influence the Sequence Diagrams within UML 2.0, and why the UML 1.x semantics is partly inadequate for what is needed in the area of sequence charts. Extracts of a possible UML meta-model is shown and this can be understood as a conceptual model for MSC-2000 as well and an indication of an approach to the future MSC-2000 semantics. UML Collaboration Diagrams have no direct counterpart in SDL/MSC and the difference between sequence diagrams and collaboration diagrams is analyzed.

Comparing UML 2.0 Interactions and MSC-2000
This paper is a brief comparison between the Interactions of UML 2.0 as defined by the Final Adopted Specification (OMG ptc/03-07-06) and MSC-2000 as defined by Z.120 (ITU 1999). The comparison investigates whether UML 2.0 has serious shortcomings relative to MSC-2000. The paper also discusses whether MSC-2000 is still needed in the future or should be retired.
متن کاملMapping Sequence diagram in Fuzzy UML to Fuzzy Petri Net
This ability in fuzzy UML, practically leaves the customers and market’s need without response in this important and vital area. Here, the available sequence diagrams in fuzzy UML will map into fuzzy Petri net. However, the formal models ability will be added to the Semi-formal fuzzy UML. This formalization will add the automatic processing ability to the Semi-formal fuzzy UML. Further more, t...
متن کاملUML-based test specification for communication systems: a methodology for the use of MSC and IDL in testing
Nowadays, the complexity of modern telecommunication systems has increased significantly and the requirement for thorough and systematic testing is undisputed. The Testing and Test Control Notation (version 3) (TTCN-3) is an universal and standardised language for the specification and implementation of tests for communication systems. Many systems and in particular object-oriented systems are ...
متن کاملFrom MSC and UML to SDL - Computer Software and Applications Conference, 2002. Proceedings. 26th Annual International
UML and MSC are widely used by software practitioners. SDL is an ITU standard language for telecommunications software specification. It has a formal semantics, and is supported by several commercial tools, which allow for simulation and validation of SDL design specifications as well as automatic code generation from these specifications. In order to take advantages of the SDL available tools ...
متن کاملMaTeLo – Statistical Testing Using Annotated Sequence Diagrams, Markov Chains and TTCN-3
In this report, we present a general framework for testing timecritical systems and software as it is proposed in the European IST project MaTeLo. The main task is to derive TTCN-3 compatible test case descriptions starting from annotated sequence diagrams, which specify additional non-functional requirements. In our methodology we combine statistical usage testing based on Markov chain usage m...
