Formal methods for analysis of discrete systems using a specification language

Cybernetics and Systems Analysis volume 45, pages 528–543 (2009)Cite this article

A realization of an algorithm that translates an MSC diagram (an MSC document) into an event equivalent Petri net is described, and the correctness of the algorithm is proved. The net obtained in this way can be used to analyze properties of the original MSC document. The mentioned algorithm is a part of a system designed for verification and analysis of MSC documents.
