ARC: A Specification Language for Communicating Systems

D. P. Kelly *

This paper presents a new specification language called ARC. The language ARC is designed for specifying systems where communication plays a pivotal role. ARC takes simple message sequence charts as a starting point and extends them to allow the precise specification of complex communication behaviour. ARC includes the language COLD-K for specifying data and operations on data. The goal in designing the ARC language was to retain the intuitive nature of simple sequence charts while allowing more complex behaviour to be described.
