Merging partial behavioural models

2004

Abstract Constructing comprehensive operational models of intended system behaviour is a complex and costly task. Consequently, practitioners have adopted techniques that support incremental elaboration of partial behaviour descriptions. A noteworthy example is the wide adoption of scenario-based notations such as message sequence charts. Scenario-based specifications are partial descriptions that can be incrementally elaborated to cover the system behaviour that is of interest.

Properties of behavioural model merging

2006

Abstract. Constructing comprehensive operational models of intended system behaviour is a complex and costly task. Consequently, practitioners adopt techniques that support partial behaviour decription such as scenario-based specifications, and focus on elaborating these descriptions iteratively. In previous work, we show how this process can be formally supported by Modal Transition Systems (MTSs), observational refinement, and model merging.

Object composition in scenario-based programming

2008

We investigate the classical notion of object composition in the framework of scenario-based specification and programming. We concentrate on live sequence charts (LSC), which extend the classical partial order semantics of sequence diagrams with universal/existential and must/may modalities.
