Abstract
IWe identify a number of styles for using Interworkings (synchronous sequence charts), together with their roles in the context of the OSI reference model. We employ the wellknown ABP (alternating bit protocol) to see how Interworkings can and cannot be used. This experiment shows that the charts are attractive from an intuitive point of view, but when used in their purest form, lack sufficient expressive power. Some of the distinctions in style can be interpreted as distinct approaches to adding expressive power.
