Abstract

We introduce a formalism to specify classes of MSCs over an unbounded number of processes. The formalism can describe many interesting behaviours of dynamically changing networks of processes. Moreover, it strictly includes the formalism of Message Sequence Graphs studied in the literature to describe MSCs over a fixed finite set of processes. Our main result is that model-checking of MSCs described in this formalism against a suitable monadic-second order logic is decidable.
