(How) Do Large Language Models Understand High-Level Message Sequence Charts?
Large Language Models (LLMs) are being employed widely to automate tasks across the software development life-cycle. It is, however, unclear whether these tasks are performed consistently with respect to the semantics of the artefacts being handled. This question is particularly under-researched concerning architectural design specification. In this paper, we address this question for High-Level Message Sequence Charts (HMSCs). These are visual models with a rigorous formal semantics that have been used for various purposes, including as a foundation for Sequence Diagrams in the Unified Modelling Language (UML). We examine whether LLMs "understand" the semantics of HMSCs by examining thre...
