Abstract

Existing notations for expressing time constraints in high-level message sequence charts (HMSC) may cause ambiguity when used with HMSC compositions such as alternative and iteration. To overcome such limitation, we propose timed high-level message sequence charts (THMSC) which include an unambiguous subset of time constraints and timed edges as a new complementary notation. THMSC is effective in accurately specifying popular requirement patterns such as watchdog timers and periodic tasks. We present the formal semantics and demonstrate the effectiveness of THMSC using a real-world example that formalizes timing requirements for Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT) software.
