Abstract: Abstract Message Sequence Charts (MSC) are a formal specification language, they are used to describe communication in systems. Sample traces specify the message exchange between processes or system parts. These traces can be combined hierarchically using composition techniques. In this work the recently submitted MSC2000 standard is used to specify temporal behaviour. A technique to map such MSC specifications to stochastic Petri nets is presented and some problems of this approach are outlined. With this mapping existing tools can be used to derive temporal properties of the MSC specification.
