Message sequence charts (MSC) are a graphical notation standardized by the ITU and used for the description of communication scenarios between asynchronous processes. This talk concerns the formal analysis of MSC-based specifications in relation with communicating finite-state machines. We discuss two basic validation problems about MSCs specifications, model-checking and implementability.
