Abstract: Message sequence charts have recently been the focus of considerable attention as formal specification descriptions and become standardized. However, it is difficult to use them for specifying services with variant process structure, such as interrupt services. This paper proposes a method that allows the number of processes in a service to change by selecting a suitable message sequence chart and switching the operation of each process over from the previous message sequence chart according to a specific procedure. Using this method, conventional synthesizing and verification techniques that deal with services with constant process structure can be applied to services with variant process structure.
