  2. Motivation • The design of hybrid systems is a difficult task. One has to consider many different aspectslike data, behavior, architecture and distribution. • Moreover it usually involves people from different engineering disciplines. • Many modern SE methods like UML, ROOMand SDL recommend the use of visual specifications.

  3. Motivation • In the projects BeQuest at TU Muenchen and CHARON at Upenn we developed HyCharts, a visual designlanguage supporting the hierarchic specification of architecture and behavior of hybrid systems. • The aim of this work is to complement HyCharts with HySequenceCharts, a visual requirements language supporting the hierarchic specification of interaction between hybrid systems.

  4. Electronic Height Control System (BMW)(Informal Requirements Specification) • Whenever the chassis levelis belowa certain bound, a compressor is used to increase it, • If the level is too high, air is blown off by opening an escape valve, • The chassis level is measured by sensors and filteredto eliminate noise, • The filtered value is read periodically by a controller which operates the compressor and the escape valves and resets thefilterwhen necessary, • A sensor tells the controller whether the car is in bend (in a curve).

  14. Conclusions • We introduced a new visual requirements specification language HySequenceCharts for describing interaction between hybrid systems. • HySequence charts can be advantageously used in the early phases of the development process. • In particular, in the requirements capture phase, they improve the dialog between customers and application experts. • The semantics for HySC is very different from the well known MSC. Most notably, we use shared variables and a global continuous clock.
