Message Sequence Charts are a widely used technique for the visualization of the communication between system components. We present a formal semantics of Basic Message Sequence Charts, exploiting techniques from process algebra. This semantics is based on the semantics of the full language as being proposed for standardization in the International Telecommunication Union.
