Abstract

We develop a formal semantics of sequence diagrams. The semantics is given in terms of our new temporal logic, named HDTL, which is designed to specify dynamically evolving systems. This approach allows to facilitate the generic feature of sequence diagrams as well as an automatic analysis, the identification of the instances of a sequence diagram over a trace.
